KENDALL GRAVEMAN NEWS

Potential Hendriks replacement Graveman could be in line for work in the ninth inning with Liam Hendriks (forearm strain) out indefinitely.

Impact The injury to Hendriks is one that could sideline him for weeks or months, so it's unclear how long the closer role will be up for grabs, but Graveman seems like the best bet to get save opportunities in the interim. He saved 10 games in 2021 and has two saves this year to go along with a 2.51 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 27:10 K:BB in 28.2 innings.

Tallies ninth hold Graveman allowed one hit in a scoreless eighth inning to record a hold Thursday against the Royals.

Impact Graveman was tasked with protecting a three-run lead. He allowed a leadoff single but induced a groundout and double play to avoid any danger. It was a bounceback effort for Graveman, as he allowed three earned runs on four hits in his previous outing. For the season, Graveman owns a 2.79 ERA with an 18:5 K:BB and nine holds across 19.1 frames.

Coughs up three runs Graveman allowed three earned runs on four hits while striking out one across one inning Monday against the Royals.

Impact Graveman entered the game with a three-run lead in the eighth inning, though he coughed up the advantage by allowing three singles and a double. He entered the contest having allowed only one earned run across his last 10 frames, and he posted four holds and two saves in that span. Despite his poor outing, Graveman should continue to occupy the top setup role in the White Sox bullpen.

Picks up second save Graveman allowed one hit and walked one across a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Tuesday against the Guardians.

Impact Graveman entered the game with a three-run lead and retired the first two batters he faced. He made things interesting by allowing two hitters to reach base, but he ultimately recorded his second save without much trouble. Graveman has had a strong start to the season by maintaining a 1.76 ERA and 1.17 WHIP with a 15:5 K:BB across 15.1 frames, though he only worked the ninth inning because Liam Hendriks had appeared in three out of the last four games.

Tallies fifth hold Graveman threw a scoreless eighth inning while allowing one hit and striking out one Monday against the Angels.

Impact Graveman entered in the eighth inning with a 3-0 lead. After allowing a leadoff single, he made quick work of the next three batters he faced to earn his fifth hold of the season. Graveman has held opposing teams scoreless in nine of his 11 appearances this season, and he also has an impressive 14:4 K:BB across 12.1 innings. Liam Hendriks appears to have rebounded from some early season struggles and a back injury, though Graveman would likely be next in line for save opportunities.

Picks up first save Graveman did not allow a baserunner and struck out four across two innings to earn the save Wednesday against the Royals.

Impact Graveman has regularly pitched in high-leverage situations this season, though he earned a save thanks to the absence of Liam Hendriks (back). He was dominant with the opportunity, as he needed only 20 pitches to retire six batters. It appears as if Hendriks will be able to avoid a stint on the injured list, though if his health worsens it appears that Graveman will be in line for save opportunities.

Strong start to season Graveman allowed one hit and struck out one across a scoreless eighth inning Tuesday against the Mariners.

Impact Graveman has already made three appearances this season, and he's made a strong impression with his new club. He has yet to allow a run, while also surrendering only two hits across 3.2 frames. Despite some early season struggles from Liam Hendriks, Graveman doesn' project for save chances, but he has collected two holds and should also maintain strong ratios while throwing a high volume of innings.
