MINNEAPOLOS (AP) — Chicago White Sox
left-hander Martín Pérez has a flexor tendon strain, and manager
Will Venable said the team expects Pérez will pitch again this
year.
The 34-year-old left Friday's start at Boston after three
innings because of forearm soreness. He was placed on the 15-day
injured list a day later with left elbow inflammation and moved
to the 60-day injured list on Monday.
“He’s continuing to get evaluated,” Venable said Tuesday. “We’re
going to treat him and expect him to pitch later on in the
summer.”
Pérez is 1-1 with a 3.15 ERA in four starts for Chicago. He
signed a $5 million contract, one-year contract to be part of a
young rotation that includes rookies Sean Burke, Jonathan
Cannon, Davis Martin and Shane Smith.
An All-Star in 2022, Pérez is 91-88 with a 4.43 ERA in 273
starts and 45 relief appearances over 14 major league seasons
with Texas (2012-18, 2022-23), Minnesota (2019), Boston
(2020-21), Pittsburgh (2024) and San Diego (2024).
Venable said catcher Korey Lee, on the 10-day injured list with
a sprained left ankle, is continuing to progress and imaging has
shown swelling in the ankle is gone. Venable said Lee isn't
ready for a minor league injury rehabilitation assignment.
