White Sox Left-Hander Chris Murphy Headed to Injured List with Elbow Issue
The White Sox are dealing with an early season blow to their pitching rotation. Left-hander Chris Murphy has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to an elbow injury, the team announced on April 9.
Murphy's absence marks another injury concern for Chicago as the season gets rolling. Elbow issues for pitchers are always something to monitor closely, and the move to the IL suggests the team is taking a cautious approach rather than risking further damage in these critical early weeks.
