White Sox starting pitcher Dylan Covey went on the injured list June 6 with right shoulder inflammation.
Covey played catch Friday and expects to throw off the mound Saturday.
“That will be a good indicator of where I’m at,” Covey said. “And we’ll go from there.”
Covey said he had been managing the situation for a while before heading to the injured list.
“It’s something I’ve been trying to deal with for a good portion of the season,” Covey said. “We had a routine, had a schedule and we were able to get it ready every fifth day to make that start.
