Stiever has retired from professional baseball.

EDGE Analysis

Stiever, 27, didn't pitch at all in 2024 and made a total of just five appearances from 2022 to 2023 because of injury. He allowed 10 runs over 6.1 innings with the White Sox from 2020 to 2021.

The White Sox outrighted Stiever to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Though Chicago didn't previously announce that Stiever was designated for assignment, he was apparently moved off the 40-man roster and will now stick around in the organization upon clearing waivers. Once one of the White Sox's more promising starting pitching prospects, Stiever has covered just 85.1 innings between the majors and Triple-A since the start of the 2020 season while missing considerable time due to a lat injury.

Stiever (lat) is listed as the White Sox's probable starter for Tuesday's spring game against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Stiever made only three rehab appearances last season and spent most of the campaign rehabbing from the right lat surgery he underwent in August of 2021. The 25-year-old is now apparently fully healthy and has an outside shot at Chicago's Opening Day rotation, though he's more likely to begin the year in the minors while coming off a lost season.

Stiever (lat) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Wednesday with Triple-A Charlotte, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stiever has resided on the White Sox's 60-day injured list all season while recovering from the surgery he required last August to address a right lat injury. Even if he had been healthy for spring training, Stiever likely would have been on the outside looking in for a rotation spot with the White Sox, so he shouldn't be viewed as a candidate to join the big club whenever he's formally activated. The White Sox will likely just want to see Stiever make an appearance or two for Charlotte to feel more confident about his health heading into the offseason, when the organization will have to decide whether to tender him a contract for 2023.

Stiever (lat) is throwing bullpen sessions at the White Sox's spring training facility in Arizona, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old has been sidelined since undergoing lat surgery in August of last year, and he could be available down the stretch for the White Sox. Stiever may soon advance to throwing live batting practice, and he could start a minor-league rehab assignment shortly thereafter.

The White Sox placed Stiever (lat) on the 60-day injured list Thursday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though Stiever has been in attendance at big-league camp, he remains limited to rehab work and wasn't expected to be ready to pitch at the start of the season after undergoing surgery on his right lat Aug. 23. The move to the 60-day IL officially rules Stiever out for the first two months of the campaign and opens up a 40-man roster spot for waiver pickup Yoan Aybar. Stiever will be eligible to begin a minor-league rehab assignment during his stint on the IL, and once the 60 days lapse and if he's deemed fully healthy, he'll likely slot into the rotation at Triple-A Charlotte.

White Sox director of player development Chris Getz said that Stiever underwent season-ending surgery Monday to address a lat injury, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stiever sustained the injury in his Aug. 12 start at Triple-A Charlotte and was placed on the 7-day injured list three days later. After making two spot starts with the White Sox in 2020, Stiever was limited to one relief appearance at the big-league level in 2021 while all the key members of the Chicago rotation have generally maintained good health. Stiever didn't help his case for earning a longer look in the majors by submitting a 5.72 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in 74 innings at Triple-A before being shut down with the lat injury. Getz said Stiever is expected to make a full recovery over the winter and return to action in spring training.

Stiever was optioned to the alternate training site Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Stiever was called up ahead of Sunday's game against the Rangers and gave up three runs on four hits and no walks while failing to record an out in relief. He'll now be cast off the major-league roster again following his lackluster season debut.

The White Sox recalled Stiever from their alternate training site ahead of Sunday's game against the Rangers, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the start of the minor-league season just over a week away, Stiever should be in store for a brief stay with the White Sox, but he could fill an important role Sunday. Michael Kopech is scheduled to start the contest, but he likely won't be able to work much longer than the three innings he tossed in his last outing April 18 in Boston. According to Fegan, manager Tony La Russa noted that he doesn't expect Liam Hendriks, Aaron Bummer or Codi Heuer to be available out of the bullpen due to workload concerns, so Stiever -- who is stretched out to 100 pitches -- could be called upon to piggyback Kopech on Sunday.

Stiever and the White Sox won't face Cleveland on Wednesday after the game was postponed due to inclement weather in Northeast Ohio, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chicago didn't announce a starter for Wednesday's game prior to the postponement, but Stiever was believed to be a candidate to either start or work as a bulk reliever after he was recalled from the alternate site. In light of the postponement coupled with a team off day Thursday, the White Sox likely won't require Stiever or another pitcher to make a spot start for Lance Lynn (back), who is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list when his next turn in the rotation comes up.
