Kopech (elbow) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

After undergoing Tommy John surgery in September of 2018, the right-hander is expected to have a normal offseason and no restrictions in spring training. Prior to the surgery, Kopech recorded a 5.02 ERA with a 15:2 K:BB over 14.1 innings pitched for the White Sox in 2018.

Kopech (elbow) will have a normal offseason and will enter spring training with no restrictions, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander will be 18 months removed from Tommy John surgery by next spring. Kopech will finish up a throwing program over the next several weeks before beginning what is expected to be a routine offseason.

Kopech (elbow) said on a White Sox broadcast that he will throw live batting practice before the end of the season, Clinton Cole of Future Sox reports.

EDGE Analysis

During a July 31 broadcast, Kopech said he has been throwing all his pitches and feeling good. He noted that he is progressing to the point that he will face live hitters in August or September. We know he is not coming back this season, but it's good to hear that he appears to be progressing without setbacks.

Kopech (elbow) has increased his throwing distance to 75 feet, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kopech continues to make steady progress in his return from Tommy John surgery, though he's still not expected to return at any point this year. He underwent the procedure in September, which should give him time to be ready to take part in spring training of 2020.

Kopech (elbow) was placed on the 60-day injured list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction has no impact on Kopech's return timeline, as he's not expected to return at any point this season while he recovers from Tommy John surgery. The move allows the White Sox to add Josh Osich to the roster after he was claimed off waivers from Baltimore.

Kopech (elbow) threw Tuesday for the first time since undergoing Tommy John surgery, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kopech underwent the procedure in September after making just four starts in his rookie season. It's certainly a positive that he's already resumed throwing, but there's no expectation that he'll be back in game action at any point this season, given that recovery from the surgery typically takes over 12 months.

Kopech underwent successful Tommy John surgery Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The surgery was performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache. Chicago's statement says that "Kopech is expected to make a full recovery in time to fully participate at spring training prior to the 2020 season," so it doesn't sound as though the White Sox have any thought of trying to get him back at the end of next season, which would have been a long shot at best.

Kopech (elbow) was placed on the 60-day disabled list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The move officially ends Kopech's 2018 season as he potentially faces Tommy John surgery. The surgery has not officially been announced as the 22-year-old seeks a second opinion prior to going under the knife.

Kopech has a UCL tear and has been recommended for Tommy John surgery, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

His top-end velocity hadn't quite been up to his usual levels in his past few starts, but this still comes out of nowhere and is obviously devastating news for Kopech and the White Sox. Kopech is now facing the likelihood of missing all of 2019.

Kopech (1-1) took the loss Wednesday as the Tigers tamed the White Sox 10-2, coughing up seven runs on nine hits -- including four home runs -- and a walk over 3.1 innings while striking out six.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie was catching far too much of the plate on the night, and in total six of Detroit's nine hits went for extra bases. Chalk it up as a learning experience for Kopech, who still has a strong 15:2 K:BB through his first 14.1 big-league innings. He'll next take the mound Tuesday in Kansas City.
