EDGE Analysis

Covey landed on the injured list June 9 with right shoulder inflammation but is nearing his return to facing live hitters. The 27-year-old may require a minor-league rehab assignment, but the White Sox will wait to see how he feels in the aftermath of Sunday's session before deciding on the next step of his progression.
