Impressive out of bullpen Newcomb went 1.2 shutout innings allowing just one hit while striking out three batters in a 5-3 loss to Tampa Bay on Thursday.

Impact Newcomb entered in the seventh inning, keeping the game knotted at two before Seranthony Dominguez blew the game in the ninth. The 32-year-old got off to a rocky start to begin 2026, allowing six earned runs over his first 10 innings prior to this appearance. The left-hander has recorded multiple lengthy relief appearances, establishing himself as a mid-relief pitcher out of the bullpen for Chicago.

Will pitch out of bullpen in 2026 White Sox manager Will Venable told reporters Saturday that Newcomb will work out of the bullpen for the 2026 season, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Newcomb has operated as a starter for most of his major-league career, but he found success out of the bullpen with the Red Sox and Athletics in 2025, posting a 2.73 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 91:31 K:BB across 92.1 innings. He inked a one-year deal with the White Sox in December and was competing for a rotation spot for the 2026 season. Although he won't open the season as a starter, Newcomb could see some spot starts to help give the White Sox's rotation extra rest.

Impressive spring outing Newcomb allowed two runs (none earned) on three hits and one walk while striking out six across 3.0 innings in Friday's Cactus League game against the Cubs.

Impact Newcomb has made four spring outings and had allowed six earned runs across eight innings entering Friday's outing. His appearance against the Cubs was his most positive of the spring, and he also ramped up to 63 pitches. Newcomb looks likely to begin the season in long relief, but he could work in a swing role and still has a chance to crack the rotation.

Inks one-year deal with White Sox The White Sox signed Newcomb (elbow) to a one-year, $4.5 million contract Tuesday.

Impact Newcomb was terrific as a full-time reliever after being traded to the Athletics last season, collecting a 1.75 ERA and 50:14 K:BB over 51.1 innings. The left-hander had been drawing free-agent interest as both a starter and reliever, and it's unclear what role the White Sox have in mind for him. Newcomb's 2025 campaign ended prematurely due to left elbow inflammation, but he should be ready to go for spring training.

Interest as starter and reliever Newcomb (elbow) is drawing interest from teams as both a starter and reliever, Will Sammon, Ken Rosenthal and Katie Woo of The Athletic report.

Impact Newcomb thrived as a full-time reliever after being traded to the Athletics in May, posting a 1.75 ERA and 50:14 K:BB over 51.1 innings. The left-hander hasn't been a full-time starter at the major-league level since 2018, but he threw six different pitch types out of the A's bullpen. Newcomb ended the 2025 season on the injured list with left elbow inflammation, and it's unclear where he's at in his offseason throwing program.

Out with elbow inflammation The Athletics placed Newcomb on the 15-day injured list Saturday with left elbow inflammation.

Impact Newcomb's move to the injured list will ensure he remains out for the rest of the season, putting a stamp on his campaign after he turned in a 2.73 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 92.1 total innings between the Red Sox and A's. Scott McGough was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas to fill the void in the bullpen.
