Covey (oblique) is transferring his rehab assignment to Triple-A Charlotte, Dan Hayes of CSN Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Covey, who kicked off a rehab assignment with in Arizona last week, compiled five strikeouts through five scoreless innings (three starts) with the White Sox's rookie-level affiliate. He's been sidelined since May 23 with an oblique injury, so he'll likely need a few outings with the Knights before he is ready to rejoin the big club. Barring any injuries to the major-league starting rotation, Covey will likely slot back into White Sox's bullpen after compiling an 8.12 ERA and 1.81 WHIP through eight starts with the big club earlier in the season.

Covey (oblique) began a rehab assignment with the White Sox's rookie-level Arizona League affiliate Monday, tossing a scoreless innings.

EDGE Analysis

It marked Covey's first game action since May 23, with his oblique injury sidelining him longer than the White Sox initially projected. After a number of the White Sox's starting pitchers were sidelined due to injury coming out of spring training, Covey was able to win a rotation spot, but the Rule 5 pick didn't show much promise in his eight outings, compiling an 8.12 ERA and 1.81 WHIP. Unless the injuries pile up again by the time he's ready to return from the disbaled list, Covey will likely find himself in a bullpen role with the White Sox.

Covey (oblique) was able to throw off the mound Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Covey was initially placed on the 10-day disabled list on May 26 with a strained left oblique, but he hasn't been able to gain much ground over the past month and a half. Manager Rick Renteria said that the team will continue to take it easy with the 25-year-old, but they'll begin building his throwing program back up as he recovers. There has yet to be a definitive timetable set for Covey, but he will likely be reevaluated in the coming weeks once he starts advancing on his program.

Covey (oblique) threw a bullpen session Wednesday, Dan Hayes of CSN Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Covey got through Wednesday's session without any issues, so he'll head to extended spring training to continue rehabbing. He remains without a timetable for his return, though one should start to materialize as he starts to ramp up his throwing in Arizona.

The White Sox placed Covey on the 10-day disabled list Friday with a strained left oblique.

EDGE Analysis

Covey was removed from his Tuesday outing by trainers after giving up four earned runs in 2.1 innings. The right-hander will next be eligible to pitch June 4, assuming the placement is backdated. Expect the White Sox to announce rotation plans in the near future.

Covey was removed from Tuesday's outing in Arizona due to left oblique soreness and he will be reevaluated Wednesday, Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

He was visited by Chicago's training staff after being tagged for four earned runs over 2.1 innings and was ultimately removed from the outing. Counting this start, Covey has now allowed 13 earned runs over 37.2 innings this season. Wednesday's evaluation from the training staff should shed light on Covey's availability for his next turn in the rotation.

Covey exited Tuesday's start against Arizona in the third inning with an undisclosed issue, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander called out for the trainer after inducing a groundout to start the third inning Tuesday and was subsequently replaced by Chris Beck. The White Sox have yet to announce the specifics on Covey's injury, but there will likely be an update later in the game. Covey allowed two home runs and four earned runs prior to his exit.

Covey allowed four runs on five hits and three walks while striking one over six innings in Thursday's 5-4 loss to Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Covey, who allowed a third-inning solo home run, was pitching one of his better games until the fifth inning -- the third time through the order -- when Jean Segura took him deep for a three-run homer. Other than the fifth, he was pretty efficient, needing only 87 pitches to get through six innings, the second time in seven starts he's pitched at least six innings. Unfortunately, two of those pitches resulted in homers. It was the fourth straight start in which he's allowed multiple homers, He's been taken deep 11 times in 35.1 innings, tied for fourth in MLB. The rookie right-hander has managed to dodge the ax for a couple of turns through the rotation and will get another chance next Tuesday in Arizona.

Covey allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out nine batters during Saturday's win over the Padres. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

After striking out just 11 batters through 25 innings over his first five starts, this was a breakout showing in the strikeouts column. However, Covey's 7.98 ERA and 1.88 WHIP are crippling ratios, and he also posted an underwhelming 6.4 K/9 through 369 innings in the minors. Covey lines up for a road start against Seattle next week.

Covey, who has an 8.28 ERA over five starts, will make his next start Saturday against the Padres, Paul Skrbina of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Rick Renteria was committing to Covey taking his next turn in the rotation after the right-hander allowed six runs and 10 hits in his start last Saturday. With Carlos Rodon (biceps) still on a mound in Arizona and James Shields (shoulder) not having pitched since April 16, immediate help is not on the way.
