GLENDALE, Ariz. —
The versatile Drury, who can play second base, third base and the outfield, hit .410 with three homers and 11 RBI in spring training. He agreed to a minor league contract with the team on Feb. 7.
It looked as if Drury was in position to make Chicago’s opening-day roster before the injury. The White Sox host the Los Angeles Angels in their first game on Thursday.
The 24-year-old Thorpe made his big league debut last season, going 3-3 with a 5.48 ERA in nine starts for Chicago. He had surgery in September to address a bone spur in the right elbow.
Thorpe was one of four players acquired by Chicago when it traded ace Dylan Cease to the San Diego Padres on March 13, 2024.
