DETROIT — One right-hander is on the mend and another has found his groove.
Those developments could provide a significant boost to a White Sox bullpen, which is already out to a good start.
With the addition of Jake Petricka, who should be activated off the 15-day disabled list on Monday, and a return to form by Zach Putnam, the White Sox relief corps promises to feature a more balanced feel with strong options from both the right and left sides.
“With the job the lefties have done so far and getting Jake back and having Putty, it’s another compliment to the ‘pen,” bullpen coach Bobby Thigpen said.
