Kopech landed on the injured list July 2 due to shoulder inflammation after having his most-recent turn in the rotation skipped prior to the All-Star break. Now that he's fully recovered from his injury, Kopech will start on the mound to begin Chicago's second half after putting up a 4.08 ERA and 1.36 WHIP through 86 innings across his first 16 starts.
