Signs with White Sox Mahtook signed a minor-league deal with the White Sox on Friday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Impact Mahtook has flashed potential as at least a platoon bat at times in the past, hitting .276/.330/.457 in a part-time role for the Tigers back in 2017. He's hit just .183/.258/.325 since then, however, and didn't get into a single big-league game last season. Now 31 years old, it would be a surprise if he rebounds and finds himself in a fantasy-relevant role.

Path to starts clears up Rodon has a clearer path to the fifth starter job than expected, with the White Sox announcing Friday that Michael Kopech would open the year in the bullpen, Bruce Levine of 670The...
Impact Kopech was the obvious choice for the role on talent alone, but he's missed two full seasons due to Tommy John surgery and an opt out. The White Sox will manage his innings to start the year, opening the role up to someone else. Rodon hasn't been officially named the winner of the job, but he's the obvious candidate when the alternatives are players like Reynaldo Lopez and Jonathan Stiever. The lefty recorded a 4.01 ERA over his first four big-league seasons but has to prove his health and effectiveness this spring to earn the job, as he's struggled to a 5.74 ERA in 42.1 innings over the last two campaigns while missing most of both years due to Tommy John surgery.

Opening season in bullpen Kopech will begin the year in the bullpen, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.
Impact Kopech's profile is the sort that always carries with it a bit of relief risk, as he has big stuff but shaky command and a history of injuries. That doesn't appear to be what's happening here, though, as the move can be easily explained as an effort to manage the young righty's innings. He hasn't pitched in a game in over two years, as he missed 2019 while recovering from Tommy John surgery before opting out of the 2020 season. He was never going to be able to last the full year in the rotation, so the White Sox will simply start him in the pen rather than moving him there over the summer. He could still provide a bit of fantasy value as a reliever, but his value will ultimately be determined in large part by when he gets the chance to start, and the White Sox have yet to make clear when that will happen. Carlos Rodon looks like the favorite to win the fifth starter job with Kopech out of the picture.

Shakes off rough September Robert feels if the 2020 season were longer, he would have busted out of his September slump, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun Times reports. "I would have been able to put up...
Impact Robert was on his way to an MVP-caliber season through the end of August, but a September swoon (11-for-81, .409 OPS) put an end to such talk. The outfielder makes a good point about the season being longer. Over the final three-game series against the Cubs, Robert went 5-for-11 then hit safely in all three postseason games (4-for-13, including a 487-foot home run). He's expected to hit in the lower third of the order, per Scott Merkin of MLB.com, as manager Tony La Russa wants Robert to earn his way to the top of the order.

Arrives late to camp Bummer arrived late to spring training but is not behind other pitchers, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Impact Bummer was with his wife for the birth of their first child and missed the beginning of camp, but knowing his daughter's delivery date was scheduled near the start of spring training, he went to Arizona during January and worked out a specific routine with the training staff. "Everything feels good. I feel pretty confident with where I'm at, that I'm not behind and I'm really right where I want to be," said the pitcher. Bummer, who had a biceps injury that limited him to nine games in 2020, is expected to serve as a top setup man in the White Sox's bullpen.
