White Sox Activate Lance Lynn From Injured List

By Anthony Franco | May 1, 2021 at 11:09am CDT

The White Sox are reinstating righty Lance Lynn from the injured list to start this afternoon’s game against the Indians (via James Fegan of the Athletic). Outfielder Luis González has been optioned to the alternate training site in a corresponding move.

Lynn went on the IL on April 18 with a right trapezius strain. He’ll wind up missing just a couple starts. One of Chicago’s biggest offseason acquisitions, Lynn got off to a fantastic start with his new team. Over his first three appearances, the veteran righty tossed 19.2 innings of four-run ball (two earned), striking out 27 while only issuing two walks. He’ll now rejoin Lucas Giolito, Dallas Keuchel, Carlos Rodón and Dylan Cease in the rotation.

With Lynn sidelined, Michael Kopech stepped in to start a pair of games. The young righty was stellar- particularly in his most recent appearance, when he struck out ten Rangers’ hitters without a walk over five innings. Still, Chicago is likely to move Kopech back into a relief role as they keep an eye on his innings total. He missed all of 2019 recovering from Tommy John surgery and opted out of last season due to concerns about COVID-19, so the Sox will surely be cautious building his arm strength back.

    Honestly, Keuchel is looking like the wink link of the 6 here.

      It’s still very early in the season. It also wasn’t too long ago when many MLB pundits and neurotic White Sox fans where complaining about the team’s rotation depth.

        Neurotic fans are what the White Sox specialize in! Lots of very vocal, fair-weather fans, who are quick to call for the DFAing of any player who goes into a slump.

      Wink link? Or do you mean WEAK LINK?

      Keuchel isn’t just looking like a weak link, he is the weak link (at $18/M) of a staff that is still finding its identity. Rodon has been a complete stud. But despite Giolito being considered by many Chisox fans, as the second coming of Jason Verlander, Giolito has shown he is a good SP, not a great one.

        The ghost of Harry Carey called. He said to stop trolling the White Sox and their fans, and go commiserate with the rest of Cub Nation now that the Cubs are the sixth worst team in all of baseball.
