White Sox prospect will undergo Tommy John surgery tomorrow and mi s the 2025 season, general manager announced to the teams beat writers this morning ( ). Hes on Josh Hart Jersey Chicagos 40-man roster, so if the Sox need to free up a spot at any point, they can place Bush on the 60-day injured list. Bush, 25, was a second-round pick by the Angels in 2021 who landed with the South Siders by way of the / trade in 2023. He made his major league debut for the Sox in 2024 but only started four games, totaling 17 2/3 innings with a 5.60 ERA. His minor league output was far more promising. Bush breezed through 80 2/3 innings in Double-A, logging a pristine 2.12 ERA with a 24.6% strikeout rate and 10.1% walk rate. He was hit hard in a small sample of four Triple-A starts, just as he was in the majors, but the bulk of his 2024 work was quite solid. Given the patchwork nature of the White Sox pitching staff, Bush wouldve had a legitimate chance to break into the rotation if not from Opening Day then certainly by midseason. The Sox currently have , , and projected for rotation work. Prospects , , , and are all in the running for a role in 2025. Bush would have been in that race for a spot as well, had he been healthy. Instead, the White Sox No. 12 prospect ( ) will now spend the season rehabbing. The mid-February nature of his surgery gives him a chance to be ready not too long after Opening Day 2026. A suming he spends the entire season on the 60-day injured list, hell gain a full year of MLB service while rehabbing. Bush would still be controllable for at least another five years through 2030 and would have multiple minor league options remaining as well. Lonzo Ball Jersey
