Aaron Bummer Stats

Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Aaron Bummer (lat) threw his first bullpen session on Thursday at normal effort. Bummer said he'll have to see how he recovers on Friday, but the session went off as planned and he's feeling good. The 29-year-old left-hander entered spring training with some soreness in his left lat, so the White Sox took it easy with him. There remains a chance that Bummer could be ready for Opening Day, where he'd be in the saves picture in a committee approach with Liam Hendriks dealing with cancer. Bummer tossed only 26 2/3 innings for the Pale Hose in 2022 because of injuries, but he had a 2.36 ERA and two saves when he was healthy. He's only worth a flier for those speculating on saves in deeper leagues because of his extensive injury history.

Chicago White Sox reliever Aaron Bummer (shoulder) is expected to be ready for Opening Day. Bummer arrived at White Sox camp with soreness in his left shoulder and lat area. Bummer was limited to just 32 appearances in 2022 due to similar shoulder soreness. He is on track for a healthy 2023 campaign, which should turn some heads in the fantasy world. The 29-year-old is revered as one of the most potent arms out of the White Sox's bullpen and is mainly a flier in leagues that account for holds. In 2022, Bummer posted a 2.36 ERA (3.19 FIP) with a 1.50 WHIP across 26 2/3 innings. His 25.6% strikeout rate and 8.5% walk rate were both drop-offs from 2021, but they could increase with a healthy season. The 29-year-old is expecting to receive a heavy workload in 2023 and is one of the anchoring components of the Sox's bullpen.

The Chicago White Sox placed relief pitcher Aaron Bummer (lat) on the 15-day injured list on Sunday. The move is retroactive to June 9. The 28-year-old is hampered by a left lat strain. This is his second trip to the injured list this year as he missed a few weeks in May due to a right knee strain. The southpaw has been one of the team's primary setup men this year, racking up nine holds while pitching to a 3.06 ERA and a 1.58 WHIP. The team hasn't released any specifics in regards to the severity of his injury, but we should have a better idea of his timeline soon.
