Per La Russa, everything is going well with the righty's throwing and exercise programs as he eyes a return to the Chicago bullpen. It's not yet clear if he'll be able to be reinstated when eligible June 8, but he doesn't figure to be out much longer past that, assuming all continues to go well with his recovery.

Won't return Monday Kopech (hamstring/personal) won't start either half of Monday's doubleheader against Cleveland, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact Kopech is dealing with a sore left hamstring, though he's currently away from the team while on the bereavement list rather than the injured list. It's unclear which issue is the one that will keep him from returning Monday.

MAY 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Lands on bereavement list The White Sox placed Kopech (hamstring) on the bereavement list Thursday.

Impact Kopech picked up a left hamstring injury during his relief appearance Wednesday against the Cardinals, but it's a personal matter that will keep him away from the team for the time being. According to James Fegan of The Athletic, manager Tony La Russa said that Kopech underwent imaging on the hamstring that revealed nothing overly concerning, so the White Sox are seemingly optimistic that he'll be ready to pitch once he's reinstated from the bereavement list. The right-hander will remain on the bereavement list for a minimum of three days and no more than seven.

Dealing with hamstring soreness Kopech is day-to-day after suffering from a sore left hamstring during his relief appearance Wednesday against the Cardinals, James Fegan of The Athleticreports.

Impact Kopech fell awkwardly on the last pitch of his scoreless seventh inning Wednesday, but he appears to have avoided any significant injury. Considering their bullpen depth and Kopech's immense long-term potential, it's unlikely the White Sox rush his return.
