In September of 2018, top prospect Michael Kopech underwent successful Tommy John surgery and is on track for a 2020 return. Kopech was drafted 33rd by the Boston Red Sox and was acquired with Yoan Moncada, in a trade which favored the Chicago White Sox future. Even though Kopech’s first couple starts on the South Side were disappointing, he has been showing tremendous progress in rehab and has his eyes set on the mound. The White Sox could use his talent in the starting lineup to strengthen the rotation which is why the return of Kopech is significant.
