GLENDALE, Ariz. — Michael Kopech had COVID in late February, which slowed his offseason throwing plan, and he’s still feeling a bit congested. But the White Sox’ reliever turned starter said he’ll be ready to go when the season opens on April 12.
“I’m on track,” Kopech said. “We’re kind of in this weird limbo where we are being patient but urgent and I think I’m right there in the middle of that. There are some things I want to fine-tune right now, but I have to be patient with myself realizing that we just got to camp. But I feel like I’ll be ready by the start of the season.”
