CHICAGO (AP) — e starting to form their rotation for the future Yolmer Sanchez Jersey , a major setback: Top prospect Michael Kopech has an injured right elbow and probably will need Tommy John surgery.White Sox general manager Rick Hahn made the announcement before Friday night’s home game against the Los Angeles Angels.“If there’s any silver lining to this, it would simply be that giving the timing of this injury, he will be on a pace to compete without restriction at the start of spring training for 2020,” Hahn said.The 22-year-old Kopech was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Aug. 21 and made four starts with the White Sox, going 1-1 with a 5.02 ERA. Although two of the right-hander’s first three starts were shortened by rain, the 6-foot-3 Kopech was impressive in all three, allowing just one run in 11 innings.On Wednesday, the hard-throwing Kopech had trouble getting loose during his warmups. He allowed seven runs on nine hits in 3 1/3 innings in a loss to Detroit, then reported discomfort in his arm to the team on Thursday.Tests on Friday “revealed a rather significant tear in his ulnar collateral ligament,” Hahn said. Kopech will get a second opinion in the next few days.Although Kopech’s velocity dipped against the Tigers Adam Engel Jersey , he thought he was just experiencing stiffness. He couldn’t recall a pop or abrupt onset of the injury and was surprised by the diagnosis.“If you’re looking for a specific pitch or date, I couldn’t tell you,” Kopech said. “It’s been gradual.”“I thought it was just a little discomfort. I thought it was something I could throw through,” he said.But Kopech said he knew he needed to get the condition checked.“(I wanted) to see if there was something I could fix,” he said. “This isn’t the answer I expected,” he said.Kopech joined promising youngsters Lucas Giolito, Reynaldo Lopez and Carlos Rodon — along with veteran James Shields — in a much-improved White Sox rotation that has helped make Chicago more competitive late in the season.Manager Rick Renteria said he hasn’t determined yet who will take Kopech’s place, but has little concern that the pitcher — who’s noted for his fitness level and workout regimen — will bounce back.“He is driven personally,” Renteria said. “There is no doubt in my mind he is going to go through everything very well.” MIAMI (AP) — The Yankees blew a two-run lead, committed three errors http://www.whitesoxfanproshop.com/authentic-paul-konerko-jersey , struck out 11 times and lost Wednesday night to the last-place Marlins.Bring on Baltimore.Lance Lynn gave up five runs in the sixth inning, and New York’s four-game winning streak ended with a sloppy 9-3 defeat.Trailing first-place Boston by nine games in the AL East, the Yankees can’t afford losses to last-place teams, and manager Aaron Boone knows it. After a day off New York will begin a four-game series at Baltimore, which has the worst record in baseball.“We didn’t do a lot great down here,” Boone said. “We’ve got to get after it starting Friday. Obviously these are important. We’ve got to play better than we did tonight. We’re getting into that crunch time.”The loss came hours after All-Star closer Aroldis Chapman went on the disabled list with left knee tendinitis. He joined three injured regulars on the Yankees’ disabled list, and the offense looked depleted as New York split the two-game series.The Yankees totaled 10 hits in the final 17 innings against Miami.Giancarlo Stanton, playing in Miami for the first time since the Marlins traded him last November, went 1 for 3 with an RBI and finished 3 for 9 in the series. He remained at 299 career homers.Lynn (8-9) had a 2-0 lead in the sixth, but Miguel Rojas‘ three-run homer put the Marlins ahead to stay.“A couple of infield hits Lucas Giolito Jersey , and then a home run,” Lynn said. “I made one bad pitch, and it costs you three runs.”What made his fastball to Rojas a bad pitch?“It went over the fence,” Lynn said.The homer was the 10th for Rojas, who had never hit more than one in a season before this year.Attendance was 25,547, including lots of Yankees fans, and many of them had departed by the time Miami’s J.T. Riddle delivered a two-run, pinch-hit homer in the eighth.Neil Walker drove in two runs for New York with a double and a sacrifice fly, and Stanton had an RBI infield hit in the seventh.Miami’s Trevor Richards allowed two runs in 5 1/3 innings and struck out nine. Jarlin Garcia (2-2) retired both batters he faced.Lynn was charged with five runs for the second game in a row. He worked 5 1/3 innings.BRAIN CRAMPA mental lapse cost the Yankees in the seventh. When Miami’s Brian Anderson tried to steal second and Starlin Castro took ball four http://www.whitesoxfanproshop.com/authentic-paul-konerko-jersey , catcher Austin Romine made a needless and wild throw to second. That allowed Anderson to advance to third, and he scored an unearned run on a groundout.SLUMPYankees first baseman Greg Bird went 0 for 10 in the series, dropping his batting average to .202.“It’s not fun going out and not performing,” he said. “You’ve just got to keep going in anything, in life. That’s what I fall back on.”FAMILY MOTIVATIONRojas’ mother, sister and grandfather, who all live in his native Venezuela, attended the game.“They don’t spend that much time with me here in the States,” he said, “but when they come here I try to play with a little more intensity Reynaldo Lopez Jersey , because I want them to enjoy their time here.”TRAINER’S ROOMYankees: RHP David Robertson, who has been nursing a tender shoulder, said he was available to pitch.UP NEXTYankees: LHP CC Sabathia (7-4, 3.32 ERA) is scheduled to start for the first time since Aug. 12 at Baltimore on Friday. Sabathia has been sidelined with right knee inflammation. The Yankees are only 6-6 this year against the Orioles.Marlins: RHP Elieser Hernandez (2-6, 5.08) is scheduled to start Thursday when Miami opens a four-game series at home against first-place Atlanta.
