Kopech allowed four hits and walked two while striking out nine over six scoreless innings for Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

There were several hopeful signs in Monday's outing. Kopech threw strikes on 66.3 percent of his pitches (63-of-95), the highest percentage of strikes thrown in seven starts. His two free passes were a five-start low, and he went six innings for just the seventh time in 15 starts. The problem for Kopech has been putting together a sustained stretch of hopeful outings. The wildness could return his next time out. The White Sox are waiting to see a sustained stretch without any hiccups before they consider promoting him to Chicago.
