Slated for Tommy John surgery Berroa (elbow) needs Tommy John surgery, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Impact Berroa had been diagnosed with a right elbow strain following a Cactus League appearance in late February, but subsequent testing has revealed more extensive damage. He will be sidelined for the duration of the 2025 campaign and could get a late start to next season, as well. Prior to the injury, Berroa had a shot to serve in a high-leverage relief role for the White Sox.

Diagnosed with elbow strain Berroa has a Grade 1 right elbow strain, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Berroa was pulled from Saturday's Cactus League contest against the Cubs after experiencing discomfort in his right elbow, and subsequent testing revealed the elbow strain. The White Sox haven't yet announced a timeline or course of action for the reliever's return, but Grade 1 strains typically require several weeks of recovery. Berroa entered spring training as a candidate for a high-leverage role in Chicago's bullpen after posting a 3.32 ERA and 12.3 K/9 over 19 innings with the team last season.

Exits with trainer Berroa was removed from Saturday's Cactus League game against the Cubs due to an apparent injury, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact Berroa was only able to get through one-third of an inning before being removed, during which he allowed two earned runs on three hits and a walk. It's unclear what kind of injury he may be dealing with, but the White Sox should offer some more information in the near future.

Recalled Tuesday The White Sox recalled Berroa from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Impact The right-hander was sent to Charlotte in early August but will rejoin the big-league bullpen after John Brebbia was designated for assignment. Berroa has made just three appearances in the majors this season and has largely struggled at Triple-A with a 6.60 ERA and 49:35 K:BB over 46.1 innings.

AUGUST 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to minors The White Sox optioned Berroa to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.

Impact Berroa was recalled from Charlotte on Friday and surrendered three runs in 1.2 innings for the White Sox across two appearances. With Ky Bush being called up to start Monday's game and Dominic Leone (elbow) removed from the injured list, Berroa will be forced to surrender his spot on the active roster.

AUGUST 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from Triple-A The White Sox recalled Berroa from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Impact Berroa has spent virtually all of the 2024 season with Charlotte, putting up a 6.69 ERA and 45:28 K:BB over 40.1 innings. The hard-throwing righty made one appearance with the White Sox back in April, hitting one batter with a pitch and retiring the other.

Set to pitch in 'B' game Berroa (shoulder) is scheduled to make a relief appearance Thursday against the Guardians in a "B" game on the backfields of spring training, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-...

Impact Berroa already has five Cactus League appearances to his name, but he hasn't pitched since March 11 due to a minor shoulder injury. Assuming he gets through Thursday's outing unscathed, Berroa should still have a good chance at winning a spot in the White Sox's Opening Day bullpen. The hard-throwing right-hander could find himself in a prominent role, as the White Sox lack an obvious solution at closer.

MARCH 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out with shoulder injury Berroa was shut down due to an injury in his arm/shoulder Tuesday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Specifics regarding the nature of Berroa's injury or a potential return timeline are currently unknown. Berroa found consistent success at the Double-A level last year with a 2.76 ERA and 1.27 WHIP across 65.1 frames, and he held his own on the mound during his two MLB appearances with the Mariners. The 23-year-old reliever was in the hunt to make Chicago's Opening Day bullpen, but his injured shoulder could put his chances in jeopardy.

MARCH 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Shipped to ChiSox The Mariners traded Berroa, Zach DeLoach and the 69th pick in the 2024 MLB Draft to the White Sox on Saturday in exchange for Gregory Santos, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Berroa spent nearly all of last season with the Mariners' Double-A affiliate, logging a 2.76 ERA and 1.27 WHIP across 65.1 innings. He also appeared in two big-league games, throwing 1.2 scoreless frames while striking out three batters and walking three more. The 23-year-old righty was expected to compete for a spot in Seattle's bullpen during the spring, but he should have little trouble securing a big-league roster spot in Chicago.

FEBRUARY 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back in majors Berroa was recalled from Double-A Arkansas on Sunday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Berroa quickly return to the minors after making his major-league debut in late July, but he'll rejoin the big-league club for the final game of the season. The right-hander is one of the organization's top prospects and is a strong bet to be used out of the bullpen Sunday with the Mariners out of the playoff pitcture.

OCTOBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Double-A Berroa was optioned to Double-A Arkansas on Saturday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Impact Berroa walked three over two-thirds of an inning in his major-league debut Friday but managed to escape without allowing a run. Isaiah Campbell is taking his spot in the bullpen.

JULY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Summoned to majors Berroa was recalled from Double-A Arkansas on Wednesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Berroa has offered a mixed bag this season at Arkansas, posting a 2.93 ERA with 69 strikeouts over 46 innings but also 31 walks. Big strikeout totals and lots of free passes are nothing new for the hard-throwing right-hander, and the Mariners will be hoping the 23-year-old provides more of the former in his first big-league stint.

JULY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moving to relief Berroa has transitioned to a relief role with Double-A Arkansas, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact The 23-year-old righty opened the year in the Double-A rotation, but after walking 19 batters and giving up 13 earned runs in 22.2 innings across five starts, Seattle will look to fast-track him as a reliever. Berroa, who is already on the 40-man roster, has a premium fastball/slider combination that could play up in a high-leverage role, assuming he can throw enough strikes.

MAY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will be in Double-A rotation Manager Scott Servais said Thursday that Berroa will be part of the rotation at Double-A Arkansas to begin the season, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Impact Berroa impressed this spring to the point that Servais also said he expects the hard-throwing right-hander to help the major-league club in 2023. That could be as a reliever, but Berroa will continue to develop as a starter for the time being.

MARCH 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Double-A Berroa was optioned Tuesday to Double-A Arkansas by the Mariners, SShannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

Impact Berroa impressed during the spring camp, but the right-hander was never a real option to make the Mariners out of spring training. The right-hander will be a part of the Arkansas rotation, and he has a chance to be a part of the Seattle staff before the end of 2023 with 2024 a more likely ETA.

MARCH 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Mariners' prospect Prelander Berroa rapidly becoming a name to know Berroa struck out 150 in 100 2/3 innings in 2022. He may ultimately wind up in the bullpen, but his electric stuff has a big-league feel.
