Gregory Santos Might Not Be Full-Go For Start Of Spring Training
9 months agoChicago White Sox relief pitcher Gregory Santos (elbow) is working out in Arizona and has had good medical reports, according to general manager Chris Getz. The team's goal is to have Santos ready for the start of the 2024 season, but he just started a throwing program, so he might not be full-go for the start of spring training. The 24-year-old is projected to share the closer's role next year with left-hander Garrett Crochet, but first Santos must fully recover after closing the 2023 campaign on the injured list with right-elbow inflammation. The White Sox are in full rebuild this offseason, though, so the Chicago bullpen may not yield many saves for Santos and company. The Dominican reliever had a 3.39 ERA (2.65 FIP) and 1.29 WHIP with his first five career saves and 66 K's in 66 1/3 relief innings this past season in his first full MLB season after debuting in 2021.
