Thorpe (elbow) sat at 84-85 mph during a 20-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The reduced velocity was by design as he ramps things up while working his way back from elbow issues. Thorpe will throw bullpen sessions for three weeks before progressing to live batting practice. Given that timeline, it seems unlikely that Thorpe will be ready in time for Opening Day, though the White Sox have not revealed a concrete timetable for the young right-hander.
