Petricka pitched scoreless seventh and eighth innings, only allowing a walk, in the Whites Sox's 3-2 loss to the Angels on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Petricka has emerged as a reliable bullpen member as he's now pitched at least 50 innings in relief the past two years for the White Sox. He'll likely continue to serve as a mid-to-late inning reliever during his year-27 season.

Petricka is fine and was removed from Saturday's game as a precaution, MLB.com's Scott Merkin reports.

EDGE Analysis

A line drive grazed his right shoulder Saturday, but it sounds like Petricka will be fine moving forward.

Petricka left Saturday's game after taking a comebacker off his right arm, MLB.com's Scott Merkin reports.

EDGE Analysis

In a spring game it would make sense to pull any pitcher who gets hit in the arm by a liner, so it may not be that serious. His status will be updated when the team releases an official injury designation.

Petricka picked up his second save of the season with a five-out effort Monday against the Twins. The White Sox scored two in the top of the ninth to eliminate a save situation for David Robertson, so Petricka was able to clean up and pick up the save. With just 15 strikeouts this season, Petricka's fantasy value is limited no matter what his role is.

Petricka recorded his first save of the year Thursday, striking out the only batter he faced to preserve a 3-2 win over Baltimore. After Zach Duke gave up a two-run homer in the ninth, Petricka was the one who got the call to clean things up with David Robertson sitting out for the day after rough outings on Tuesday and Wednesday. Don't expect too many more save chances for Petricka, who's struggled himself this year, posting a hideous 1.63 WHIP.

Petricka threw a scoreless ninth inning against the Indians on Wednesday in his first appearance of the season. Petricka came off the disabled list from an arm injury Monday, but he did not make it into either of the team's first two games against the Indians. He should serve in a late-inning relief role now that he is healthy, but the closer role is all David Robertson.

Petricka (arm) was activated from the 15-day disabled list Monday. Petricka was placed on the disabled list with arm soreness, but it appears the issue has subsided. Following a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte, he will join the White Sox's bullpen for the first time this season. Following a strong 2014 campaign (2.96 ERA and 1.37 WHIP with 55 strikeouts over 73 innings), he could be in line to work in the latter innings once again in 2015.

Petricka (arm) should return from the disabled list Monday, the Daily Herald reports. Petricka served as the White Sox's closer for a spell in 2014, and the team will look to him to serve as a bridge to David Robertson in 2015. Zach Duke has been the team's top eighth inning man thus far this season as a left-hander, and Petricka could fill that role from the other side of the mound.

Petricka (arm) remains on track to re-join the White Sox early in the week, MLB.com's Scott Merkin reports. Petricka opened the season on the disabled list, but is currently on injury rehab with Triple-A Charlotte. The right-handed reliever will be one of Chicago's top bullpen options upon his return, though it's unlikely he passes David Robertson for a save opportunity any time soon.

Petricka (arm) should join the White Sox for their homestand next week, the Chicago Sun-Times' Daryl Van Schouwen reports. He is slated to pitch Thursday and Saturday on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Charlotte and could be back in Chicago's bullpen as soon as Monday.
