Michael Kopech - Page 22 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Exits with apparent injury Kopech exited Sunday's start against the Rangers with an apparent injury, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact Kopech winced after throwing a pitch to Adolis Garcia in the first inning and exited after a discussion with team trainers. The exact nature and severity of his injury are not yet clear. Reynaldo Lopez replaced him out of the bullpen and could be a candidate to step into the rotation if Kopech is forced to miss an extended period.

Excellent in win Kopech (2-2) earned the win Tuesday, allowing zero runs on one hit and one walk over six innings against the Dodgers. He struck out eight.

Impact Kopech bounced back extremely well after a rough outing against the Blue Jays where he allowed five earned runs. In Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, the righty was dominant. The eight strikeouts were the most that Kopech has had in a single game this season. In addition to earning the win, he also picked up a quality start, his fourth in his last five games. The flamethrower will take a 1.94 ERA into his next start.

Excellent against Dodgers Kopech (2-2) allowed one hit and one walk while striking out eight across six scoreless innings to earn the win Wednesday against the Dodgers.

Impact Kopech dominated the vaunted Los Angeles lineup, with the only hit he surrendered being a single to Will Smith. He posted a season-best eight strikeouts on the strength of 13 swinging strikes across 98 total pitches. Importantly, Kopech also displayed improved control, as he managed to walk fewer than two batters in a start for only the second time this season. He's maintained a 1.94 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 51:24 K:BB across 51 innings on the campaign.

Struggles during Wednesday's loss Kopech (1-2) took the loss Wednesday, allowing five runs on six hits and four walks over three innings against the Blue Jays. He struck out four.

Impact After tossing seven scoreless innings against the Yankees on May 22, the White Sox opted to give the right-hander extra rest heading into Wednesday's matchup. However, Kopech appeared rusty and allowed runs in all three innings he pitched, including a three-run homer to Danny Jansen in the bottom of the third. Despite the poor start, Kopech still sports a 2.20 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP and has 43 strikeouts across 45.0 innings. His next start is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday's matchup with the Dodgers.

Getting extra rest Kopech won't start this week as the White Sox look to give him some extra rest, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Kopech pitched on extra rest Sunday against the Yankees and was dominant, throwing seven shutout innings while allowing just one hit. He isn't scheduled to pitch in any of his team's games this week, and the White Sox have an off day Monday, so it looks as though he'll pitch on eight days' rest May 31 in Toronto. The news is unfortunate for those with Kopech already locked into their weekly lineups, but the White Sox were always going to find some way to limit Kopech's workload this season, as he's pitching out of the rotation for the first time since 2018 after throwing just 69.1 regular-season innings last year.

Shuts down Yankees Kopech (1-1) earned the win, striking out six in seven scoreless innings while giving up two walks and a hit in a 5-0 victory Sunday against the Yankees.

Impact Kopech retired the first 17 batters he faced before allowing his lone hit, a double to Rob Brantly. He pitched around two walks in the bottom of the seventh and the White Sox scored five times in the top of the eighth to put Kopech in line for the win. It was the longest, and arguably best, start of his major-league career. The 26-year-old has been incredibly stingy and batters are hitting just .122 with no home runs against him through 42 innings. His next start will likely be next weekend against the Cubs.

Back from paternity list Kopech was activated from the paternity list Friday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact The 26-year-old landed on the paternity list Tuesday and will return without missing a start, as expected. Kopech lines up to take the mound Sunday against the Yankees, with Dallas Keuchel and Johnny Cueto poised to start the first two games of the series.

White Sox and Royals split doubleheader

MAY 17, 2022 • Associated Press

Placed on paternity list The White Sox placed Kopech on the paternity list Tuesday.

Impact Kopech will be away from the team for up to three days while he witnesses the birth of his child. After making his most recent start Sunday, Kopech wouldn't have been in line to make his next start until Friday in New York anyway, so his placement on the paternity list shouldn't affect his availability this week. The White Sox are expected to return Lucas Giolito (illness) from the COVID-19 injured list to start Wednesday in Kansas City, so Kopech could end up getting an additional day of rest to make his next start Saturday, which would also come against the Yankees.
