Michael Kopech To Throw Side Sessions
3 years agoChicago White Sox right-hander Michael Kopech (hamstring) will resume throwing side sessions in the coming days and could throw a simulated game in the near future as well. General manager Rich Hahn said the team wants to see how Kopech's side sessions go before deciding on whether he'll need to go on a minor league rehab assignment. The 25-year-old was having an excellent season before he landed on the injured list with a strained left hamstring. Kopech was sporting a 1.72 ERA and 0.98 WHIP with 45 strikeouts and 11 walks in 31 1/3 innings pitched over 14 outings (three starts). The good news is that Kopech could be back from the injured list sooner than later, as long as he doesn't have a setback once he gets back on the mound.
