Rogers adds that according to a source, Pérez won’t require Tommy John surgery, but isn’t expected to resume throwing until September, which doesn’t leave him enough time to make it back to Chicago’s rotation. The 34-year-old hit the injured list over the weekend with elbow inflammation. It’s unclear whether he’s electing to undergo surgery, or proceed with the rest and rehabilitation route, but it sounds like his season is essentially over.

Pérez landed on the IL on Saturday with left elbow inflammation, but we had no more information about the severity of the injury. Now, we know for sure he will be out for at least two months as the White Sox needed room on the 40-man roster to call up Bobby Dalbec with Chase Meidroth hurt. This doesn’t bode well for Pérez’s prospects for the 2025 season, and you can feel free to move on in most formats.

Pérez hits the shelf following an early exit from Friday’s outing against one of his many former clubs due to forearm tightness. The fact that it’s elbow-related is concerning and could lead to an extended absence. The 34-year-old veteran will presumably undergo further testing to determine the severity of the issue.

The 34-year-old southpaw wasn’t very effective before exiting, surrendering four runs on five hits and a pair of walks while recording zero strikeouts in his three innings of work. He’ll presumably head for imaging to see exactly what’s going on there and it wouldn’t be surprising if a trip to the injured list is in his future.
