## Resource

Drew Thorpe is on track to return from Tommy John surgery, set for his next rehab start this Friday in High-A Winston-Salem, aiming for three innings before ramping up to four- and five-inning outings—with potential Triple-A appearances. After missing all of last season, Thorpe dominated in the minors with a 21-3 record and a 2.15 ERA, and his first rehab outing was stellar: two scoreless innings, one hit, three strikeouts. The White Sox, currently atop the AL Central, are eager for his return to bolster their rotation as they chase the postseason—Thorpe’s goal? Back on the mound in Chicago this year.
