Chicago White Sox

Drew Thorpe

SP

Thorpe was cleared for a rehab assignment shortly after the All-Star break, and his last outing took place Thursday with Double-A Birmingham, when he allowed one hit while striking out five batters across four scoreless innings. He's in the final stages of his recovery from Tommy John surgery from April of 2025, and barring any setbacks, Thorpe is on track to rejoin the White Sox in mid-August.

Tyler Gilbert

RP

Gilbert has been cleared to test things out in a game setting after missing the past six-plus weeks with a left shoulder impingement. The lefty will likely require a handful of rehab outings before being returned to the active roster.

Kyle Teel

C

When Teel was placed on the injured list, his timeline to return was unclear. The White Sox have since announced that Teel will be sidelined at least six weeks, or until the beginning of September. He's had a frustrating 2026 season, as he was unable to make his debut until June 22 due to a hamstring injury he suffered during the World Baseball Classic.

Austin Hays

LF

Hays has been shelved by a left calf strain since early May, and he was moved to the 60-day injured list in early June after suffering a setback in his rehab assignment. He's progressed enough in his recovery to return to the minors, but given his lengthy stint on the shelf, Hays will likely need to play in several games before being cleared to return to the majors.

Prelander Berroa

RP

After recovering from his March 7, 2025 Tommy John surgery, Berroa began a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on May 13 but threw just four pitches in that appearance before being shut down due to right elbow inflammation. The 26-year-old has seemingly responded well to treating the injury with rest and rehab over the past two months and will soon begin ramping up his throwing. Berroa is unlikely to be an option for the White Sox bullpen until August.

Ky Bush

SP

Bush suffered a setback in his recovery from Tommy John surgery in late May and had been ruled out until the second half of the season. It seems clear he won't return at any point in July, but he has at least resumed his rehab process.

Jordan Leasure

RP

Leasure said his UCL is intact, but he's dealing with a lot of inflammation and has been diagnosed with a right flexor strain. Leasure was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday but is looking at an extended absence into July.

Mike Vasil

RP

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for outfielder Dustin Harris, who was called up from Triple-A Charlotte. Vasil underwent Tommy John surgery in March and will be sidelined until around the middle of the 2027 season.

Tanner Murray

LF

The move opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for Randal Grichuk, who signed a one-year major-league deal with the White Sox on Monday. Murray suffered a left shoulder dislocation and fracture while making a diving catch in left field against the Nationals in late April. His recovery timeline was initially set at 4-to-6 months, which means he won't be available to return until at least late August.

Brooks Baldwin

LF

The transaction is merely a formality, as Baldwin is already slated to miss the rest of the season after undergoing internal brace surgery on his right elbow last Wednesday. The utility player will cede his spot on the White Sox's 40-man roster to left-hander Tyler Schweitzer, who was called up from Triple-A Charlotte.
