Velasquez is starting Sunday's game against the Tigers, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tanner Banks, who was recalled from Triple-A, should provide length out of the bullpen in what amounts to a bullpen game. Velasquez has thrown four innings once in the last few months, and has generally thrown fewer than three innings recently, so he probably won't go deep enough to qualify for the win.

Velasquez (finger) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Velasquez sustained a finger injury in early July but spent the last two weeks on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Charlotte and posted a 4.76 ERA and 1.59 WHIP in 5.2 innings over four appearances. While he's worked as a starter and reliever in the majors this year, he'll pitch out of the bullpen now that he's healthy.

Velasquez (finger) is likely to return as a multi-inning reliever once he is activated from the injured list, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Velasquez has served as both a starter and reliever for the White Sox this season, though he was appearing out of the bullpen prior to suffering a finger injury. He is set to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte in the coming days and could be back quickly if he is only being asked to work a couple innings per appearance.

Velasquez (finger) is on the verge of beginning a rehab assignment, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Velasquez has missed nearly a month with his injury, but he is just about to enter the final stage of his recovery. It's unclear how many times Velasquez will throw in the minors before rejoining the big club, but he should do so at some point this month.

Velasquez was placed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a blister on his right index finger.

EDGE Analysis

Velasquez's move to the IL will keep him on the shelf through the All-Star break, but he should be fully healed from the blister when the White Sox open their second-half schedule. Jimmy Lambert was called up from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday to take Velasquez's spot in the bullpen.

Velasquez has made his last three appearances out of the White Sox bullpen, striking out five and picking up a win across six innings while allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits and a walk.

EDGE Analysis

After coming off the 15-day injured list June 15, Velasquez made a 2.2-inning start against the Tigers that same day, but he was moved to the bullpen just a few days later when Michael Kopech was cleared to rejoin the rotation following a brief absence due to a knee injury. Velasquez should be the next man up to enter the rotation when the White Sox next require an additional starter, but he'll serve in a multi-inning relief role until then.

Velasquez didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 13-0 romp over the Tigers, giving up only one hit over 2.2 scoreless innings. He struck out three without walking a batter.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander was dominant the first time through the Detroit order, but that was about as far as Velasquez was allowed to go in his return from a groin injury that had sidelined him since May 24. Including the game against Boston in which he got hurt, he's tossed 5.2 scoreless, one-hit frames with an 8:1 K:BB over his last two appearances. However, Velasquez's 4.93 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 36:14 K:BB through 38.1 innings on the season are a better reflection of his reliability.

Velasquez (groin) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list ahead of Wednesday's start against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Velasquez hasn't pitched since May 24 due to his left groin strain, but he'll return to the mound to start Wednesday's series finale in Detroit. Over his five outings prior to his absence, the right-hander posted a 4.56 ERA and 1.18 WHIP in 23.2 innings. Since Velasquez didn't head out on a minor-league rehab assignment prior to being activated, he may not be capable of giving the White Sox extensive length Wednesday.

Velasquez (groin) is expected to be reinstated from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday's game against the Tigers, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Velasquez has been sidelined since late May due to a left groin strain, but his injury was considered minor, and he'll rejoin the rotation following a relatively minimal stay on the injured list. The right-hander had mixed results prior to his absence, as he posted a 5.30 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in 35.2 innings over eight appearances (seven starts) to begin the year.

Velasquez's groin injury appears to be minor, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although Velasquez landed on the 15-day injured list with a left groin strain Friday, it doesn't appear as though his injury is a significant concern. The right-hander played catch Friday and plans to throw a bullpen session in the coming days. It seems likely that Velasquez will be able to rejoin the White Sox following a relatively minimal IL stint, but it's not yet clear whether a rotation spot will be open since Lance Lynn (knee) is nearing a return.
