At 82 innings pitched, White Sox starter Michael Kopech could clear his career high for innings (119 2/3, set last year) sometime next month.
It’s something that can be seen guiding the team’s decisions for the 27-year-old right-hander. Manager Pedro Grifol cited managing Kopech’s workload when he pulled him after four innings and 86 pitches in his most recent outing. Pitching coach Ethan Katz said Saturday that the team plans to reorder the rotation after the All-Star break next month so that Kopech is the fifth starter and gets the most rest.
