The Chicago White Sox have an innings problem with a pitching staff full of young players who lack experience. The team plans to trade veteran starters, which complicates their situation for 2025. Young pitchers like Shane Smith and Davis Martin are dealing with fatigue and injuries. The team's future innings options are limited, although Noah Syndergaard and Mike Clevinger could help. Martín Pérez, previously injured, had shown promise early in the 2025 season and may return to the mound for rehab by August, providing hope for the team.
Martín Pérez had a remarkable start to the 2025 season before going down with what appeared to be a season-ending injury. He did six no-hit innings with nine strikeouts his first start of the season.
With the trade deadline approaching, the White Sox are expected to flip veteran starters Adrian Houser and Aaron Civale to contending teams for prospects.
It's hard to see where the White Sox are going to get their innings from down the home stretch of the season.
Fortunately, Pérez may not be lost for the season like Sox fans once feared. Pérez recently told MLB.com that he could begin injury rehab in August.
