Sean Newcomb - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Records long save Newcomb recorded his fourth save of the season Sunday against the Tigers, striking out two and walking one over 2.1 scoreless innings.

Impact Newcomb entered with two outs and a one-run lead in the seventh after Huascar Brazoban had already allowed a run in the frame. With Grant Taylor, Jordan Hicks and Bryan Hudson all having pitched the night before, Newcomb was asked to finish the game and did so with ease, allowing only a walk across the eight batters he faced. He secured his fourth save of the season and extended his streak to 10.1 innings without allowing an earned run. Newcomb owns a 2.51 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 64:25 K:BB across 68 innings this season while adding 10 holds.

Set to open bullpen game Newcomb will start Friday's contest against the Tigers, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact Newcomb will take the mound first in what is expected to be a bullpen game for Chicago. The southpaw has not exceeded three innings in an appearance out of the bullpen this season, so he will likely not remain in the game long enough to qualify for a decision. Newcomb owns a 2.66 ERA and 1.13 WHIP with 60 strikeouts over 64.1 innings in 44 appearances, including one start, so far in 2026.

Locks down five-out save Newcomb secured the save Sunday against the Guardians, allowing no runs on no hits and one walk in 1.2 innings. He struck out two.

Impact The White Sox are searching for some stability at closer, and Newcomb could be working his way into the mix. The veteran southpaw has successfully converted two saves in his past five appearances, and Chicago figures to mix and match its high-leverage options that also include Seranthony Dominguez and Grant Taylor going forward. Through 52.1 innings, Newcomb has a 2.58 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 51:17 K:BB with three saves in four opportunities.

Records eight-out save Newcomb earned the save Tuesday against the Guardians, allowing one walk while striking out two over 2.2 scoreless innings.

Impact With the closer committee of Seranthony Dominguez, Grant Taylor and Bryan Hudson all pitching in each of the previous two days, Newcomb was called upon after Sean Burke delivered 6.1 innings of one-run ball. The veteran left-hander took over from there and worked around a lone walk to secure his second save of the season. Newcomb has been excellent since the start of May, posting a 1.50 ERA during that stretch. He now owns a 2.44 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 46:12 K:BB across 48 innings this season.

Perfect as opener Saturday Newcomb didn't factor into the decision during Saturday's loss to the Tigers, throwing three perfect innings as the opener. He struck out four.

Impact The veteran southpaw ended up staying in the game longer than any other White Sox pitcher in what became a true bullpen day, and Newcomb needed 42 pitches (28 strikes) to retire all nine batters he faced -- his biggest workload since April 22, when he tossed 44 pitches against the Diamondbacks. There's been no indication Chicago intends to stretch Newcomb out to be a regular starter or bulk reliever, as he's been too valuable in the bullpen. Through 45.1 innings over 29 appearances (one start) this season, he's delivered a 2.58 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 44:11 K:BB with five holds and a save.

Opening Saturday's contest Newcomb (triceps) will serve as the opening pitcher during Saturday's game against the Tigers, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact Newcomb was removed from his last appearance with a triceps contusion after getting hit by a comebacker, but he seems to be feeling well enough to take on his first opening assignment of the season Saturday. The 33-year-old southpaw has been one of the most reliable members of Chicago's bullpen this season, turning in a 2.76 ERA and 1.04 WHIP across 42.1 frames. He could remain in the game for multiple innings before allowing the bullpen to take over.

Records two-inning save Newcomb notched a save against the Royals on Thursday, allowing one hit and striking out one batter over two scoreless innings.

Impact Newcomb entered in the eighth inning with Chicago holding a three-run lead. He tossed a scoreless frame, then saw the White Sox tack on a run in the bottom of the inning. Newcomb returned for the ninth and retired the side in order to lock down the save. Primary closer Seranthony Dominguez pitched each of the previous two days, and it's unclear if he would have been called upon in the ninth anyway since the White Sox held a four-run lead. Dominguez remains the team's clear top ninth-inning option, so fantasy managers probably shouldn't expect Newcomb to see many additional save chances going forward.
