Drew Thorpe To Undergo Tommy John Surgery
Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Drew Thorpe (elbow) is set to undergo Tommy John surgery. Thorpe has been slowly increasing his workload this camp after undergoing an operation to remove a bone spur from his elbow last season. However, the Cal Poly product exited his recent minor-league game due to elbow discomfort and will now undergo Tommy John surgery. The 24-year-old will now miss the entire 2025 campaign and likely time in the 2026 season as well. Last summer, Thorpe made his MLB debut and logged 44 1/3 innings with a 5.48 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP. He tallied just 25 strikeouts and generated a modest 4.71 xERA. However, in the minor leagues, he held an impressive 1.35 ERA and a 0.87 WHIP across 60 innings at Double-A. With Thorpe see to miss the entire season, this could open the door for top prospect Noah Schultz to make his MLB debut later this summer.
