Drew Thorpe

The White Sox placed Drew Thorpe on the 15-day IL with a right flexor strain.

Thorpe was roughed up right before landing on the injured list. It is unclear how long he will be sidelined for. Prelander Berrora was recalled as the corresponding move to add a fresh arm to the bullpen.

Drew Thorpe endured a challenging game, surrendering six earned runs on seven hits and two walks over five innings in Wednesday's 10-3 loss to the Royals.

This performance certainly doesn't help his season-long stats, which already featured a middling 5.48 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP. His inability to strike out a single batter this game is particularly concerning, given his already low season average of 5.08 K/9. Fantasy managers should be wary of Thorpe's recent form, as his elevated ERA and lack of strikeouts limit his upside. His low BABIP (.201) suggest some level of effectiveness, but his overall impact in fantasy leagues remains modest at best.

Drew Thorpe had a disastrous start, allowing eight earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out one over just 2/3 of an inning in Friday's 10-0 loss to the Mariners.

This performance significantly inflates his ERA to 4.81, reflecting a game where almost nothing went right for him. Given his season stats, including a modest K/9 and a FIP that already hinted at underlying issues, fantasy managers should be wary. His low BABIP prior to this game suggested some luck in earlier outings, and this blowup could be a harsh regression to the mean. Moving forward, Thorpe's reliability as a fantasy starter takes a hit, and managers might consider other options with more consistency.

Drew Thorpe allowed three hits over six scoreless innings on Sunday against the Royals.

Drew Thorpe delivered a solid performance in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Twins, allowing two earned runs on three hits and one walk while striking out one over six innings.

Fantasy Impact

Despite a decent outing, Thorpe's lack of strikeout power was evident, managing only one K through his six frames. His season stats, including a 3.58 ERA and 1.04 WHIP, suggest reliability, but his low strikeout rate (5.23 K/9) and high FIP (4.46) might raise concerns for fantasy managers looking for dominant pitching performances. While Thorpe's ability to limit base hits (.160 BABIP) adds some appeal, his limited strikeout capability could cap his fantasy upside.
