Drew Thorpe To Throw Live Batting Practice On Tuesday
Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Drew Thorpe (elbow) is set to throw live batting practice on Tuesday. Thorpe has been throwing bullpen sessions and will now progress to the next step in his recovery. Scott Merkin of MLB.com noted that once Thorpe progresses through live bullpens, he will then look to start a normal five-day routine. The 24-year-old is recovering from a surgery he underwent in the offseason to remove a bone spur from his elbow. However, Thorpe has faced several setbacks which has pushed back his recovery window. Last season, the Cal Poly product made his MLB debut and held a 5.48 ERA with a 1.26 WHIP across 44 1/3 innings of work. He spent most of his campaign at the Double-A level where he posted a strong 1.35 ERA with a stellar 0.87 WHIP. When healthy, he will likely have a spot in the starting rotation.
