Bryse Wilson Expected to Start for White Sox Amid Injuries

With Chicago White Sox starter Martín Pérez placed on the 60-day injured list due to an elbow injury, Bryse Wilson stepped in to fill the rotation gap, making his first start of the season against the Twins and allowing one run over 2.2 innings before being lifted after 55 pitches. Wilson, who has transitioned from bullpen work and has 52 career starts, is expected to be a key contributor either as a starter or bulk reliever while the team manages Pérez's extended absence. Manager Will Venable has stated Wilson's workload will be monitored, but his experience in both roles and ability to go multiple innings makes him a valuable asset during this period. The White Sox are considering various bullpen options, including Tyler Gilbert, Jared Shuster, and Brandon Eisert, to help piece together innings as they navigate their depleted rotation. Wilson’s straightforward approach and flexibility are expected to help save the bullpen, and with consistent performance, he could secure a more permanent spot in the rotation. The team will continue to evaluate its pitching strategy day-to-day as more injuries and performance factors arise.
