White Sox to call up RHP Drew Thorpe to make MLB debut

CHICAGO -- The White Sox plan to bring up right-hander Drew Thorpe from Double-A Birmingham to make his major league debut Tuesday night at Seattle.

Thorpe is one of the team's top prospects. He was acquired from San Diego in the Dylan Cease trade in March.

"He's a strike-thrower, he's a competitor, he's got a plus-plus-plus changeup," White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said before Sunday's game against Boston. "He knows how to pitch. He's calm and got a really good demeanor. Looking forward to seeing him pitch at this level. He looks like a big leaguer.
