Chicago, Illinois – Chicago White Sox left-hander Martín Pérez is expected to miss a significant portion of the 2025 MLB season due to a flexor tendon strain in his elbow. The team has placed Pérez on the injured list after he experienced inflammation in his elbow.
White Sox manager Will Venable remains optimistic that Pérez will be able to return to the mound later in the summer. However, the injury is likely to keep him sidelined for the majority of the season.
Pérez, a key member of the White Sox pitching staff, has been a reliable arm for the team in recent years. His absence from the rotation will undoubtedly be felt as the team looks to compete for a playoff spot this season.
In Pérez’s absence, the White Sox will have to rely on their pitching depth to fill the void. The team will need other players to step up and take on more significant roles to make up for Pérez’s absence.
Elbow injuries can be particularly challenging for pitchers, as they can significantly impact a player’s ability to throw with accuracy and velocity. The White Sox will need to monitor Pérez’s recovery closely to ensure that he is able to return to full strength before taking the mound again.
As Pérez focuses on his rehabilitation, the White Sox will continue to push forward in their pursuit of a successful season. The team’s depth and resilience will be put to the test as they adapt to Pérez’s absence and work to stay competitive in a tough division.
