Tepera (finger) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Vinnie Duber of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old will be out until at least Sept. 21 as the move was made retroactive to Sept. 11. Jace Fry was called up from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday to take Tepera's place in the bullpen for the time being.

Tepera struck out two in a perfect 11th inning Friday to record his second save of the season in a 7-5 win over the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Craig Kimbrel worked the eighth inning and Liam Hendriks the 10th, leaving closing duties to Tepera after the White Sox re-took the lead in the top of the 11th. The right-hander likely won't see many more save chances down the stretch, but he's been effective following a trade from the Cubs, posting a 2.08 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 12:3 K:BB in 8.2 innings since coming to the South Side.

Tepera was traded from the Cubs to the White Sox in exchange for left-hander Bailey Horn on Thursday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tepera was reinstated from the 10-day injured list July 9, and he's struck out nine in 5.2 scoreless innings across his six relief appearances since then. The right-hander has 15 holds along with a 2.91 ERA and 0.78 WHIP this season, and he should serve as a setup man ahead of closer Liam Hendriks.

Tepera (calf) was activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander landed on the injured list June 29 with a strained left calf, and he'll rejoin the active roster after a brief stint on the shelf. Tepera has a 3.35 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 41:12 K:BB over 37.2 innings with 14 holds this season, and he should return to a high-leverage role for Chicago.

Tepera (calf) came out of Monday's live batting practice session feeling well and is expected to be activated from the injured list when eligible Friday, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tepera has been on the injured list with a left calf strain since June 29. The right-hander appears to be on track to spend just the minimum 10-days on the IL as he looks to return when the club opens a series against the Cardinals on Friday. Tepera struggled in three of his four appearances before hitting the shelf, allowing seven runs on five hits and five walks across three innings.

The Cubs placed Tepera on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left calf strain.

EDGE Analysis

The injury likely explains Tepera's abysmal performance Monday against the Brewers, when he allowed four runs and recorded just two outs. After stringing together 18 consecutive scoreless appearances, the righty has yielded at least one run in three of his last four games. It's unclear how long Tepera will be sidelined by the calf strain.

Tepera (0-2) allowed four earned runs on two hits and two walks while striking out one across two-thirds of an inning, taking the loss to the Brewers on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Tepera started the eighth inning of a 4-4 game and retired just two of the six batters he faced before being pulled, lighting the fuse for a 10-run explosion by the Brewers. The 33-year-old pitched to a 1.96 ERA and 0.68 WHIP over his first 35 games this season, but he's now taken the loss in back-to-back appearances, giving up six runs while recording just three outs in the process. His ERA has risen to 3.35, but his WHIP remains a stellar 0.82 in 37.2 innings.

Tepera (0-1) allowed two runs on one hit and a walk in just a third of an inning as he took the loss against the Dodgers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Tepera entered in the eighth with the score knotted at 2-2 and ended up giving the lead back to the Dodgers after AJ Pollock swatted a two-run homer. The 33-year-old Tepera was taken out after facing the minimum three batters and only managing to record one out. He has now given up at least one run in two of his last three outings after he hadn't allowed a run in 20.1 consecutive innings spanning from May 12-June 20. Tepera owns a 2.43 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 40:10 K:BB over 37 innings this year and has solidified his role as a late-game option for manager David Ross.

Tepera pitched two scoreless innings of relief with two strikeouts to record a hold in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Tepera keeps rolling along for the Cubs, as he now hasn't allowed an earned run since early May and has a 1.82 ERA for the season to go along with a 0.61 WHIP. His 15 holds are also good for second on the team, behind Andrew Chafin's 17. Tepera has been a pleasant surprise and should remain in a high-leverage role in front of closer Craig Kimbrel.

Tepera, who tossed a scoreless inning in Saturday's loss to the Giants, now has a 2.36 ERA and 0.71 WHIP across 26.2 innings this season.

EDGE Analysis

Tepera has been effective out of the bullpen for the Cubs and has worked his way into a high-leverage role in front of closer Craig Kimbrel. The 33-year-old has also continued to strike out batters at a good rate. His K/9 sits at 10.5 which follows the 13.5 figure he registered in 2020. If Tepera keeps generating the whiffs, he should remain an effective reliever for Chicago the rest of the season.
