Player Outlook
Prelander Berroa was acquired by the White Sox last offseason and had a few cups of coffee with his new club before he was recalled again in late August. The hard-throwing righty finished the season with Chicago, earning one win and three holds across 17 appearances while demonstrating high strikeout upside. In his limited big league sample, Berroa has struck out 32 percent of the batters he's faced, but command issues have yielded a poor 17.6 walk rate that he'll need to improve to earn more high-leverage opportunities. The 24-year-old features an effective slider (57 percent usage) that produced a 43.4 percent whiff rate and limited opposing hitters to a .173 average, but he wasn't as effective with his upper-90's fastball. Berroa is a candidate for an important high-leverage role with the White Sox in 2025, but will need to find the strike zone more often to increase his chances.

  • White Sox's Prelander Berroa: Shifts to 60-day IL

    Berroa (elbow) was placed on the 60-day injured list Sunday. The right-hander was diagnosed with a UCL strain that required Tommy John surgery in early March, so his move to the 60-day IL was inevitable. Berroa will be sidelined until midseason of 2026 as he goes through his recovery from the procedure.

  • White Sox's Prelander Berroa: Slated for Tommy John surgery

    Berroa (elbow) needs Tommy John surgery, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports. Berroa had been diagnosed with a right elbow strain following a Cactus League appearance in late February, but subsequent testing has revealed more extensive damage. He will be sidelined for the duration of the 2025 campaign and could get a late start to next season, as well. Prior to the injury, Berroa had a shot to serve in a high-leverage relief role for the White Sox.

  • White Sox's Prelander Berroa: Diagnosed with elbow strain

    Berroa has a Grade 1 right elbow strain, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Berroa was pulled from Saturday's Cactus League contest against the Cubs after experiencing discomfort in his right elbow, and subsequent testing revealed the elbow strain. The White Sox haven't yet announced a timeline or course of action for the reliever's return, but Grade 1 strains typically require several weeks of recovery. Berroa entered spring training as a candidate for a high-leverage role in Chicago's bullpen after posting a 3.32 ERA and 12.3 K/9 over 19 innings with the team last season.

  • White Sox's Prelander Berroa: Recalled Tuesday

    The White Sox recalled Berroa from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports. The right-hander was sent to Charlotte in early August but will rejoin the big-league bullpen after John Brebbia was designated for assignment.

  • White Sox's Prelander Berroa: Returns to minors

    The White Sox optioned Berroa to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday. Berroa was recalled from Charlotte on Friday and surrendered three runs in 1.2 innings for the White Sox across two appearances. With Ky Bush being called up from Charlotte to start Monday's game against the Athletics and Dominic Leone (elbow) coming off the 60-day injured list, Berroa will give up his spot on the 26-man active roster.

  • White Sox's Prelander Berroa: Expected to be recalled

    Berroa is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Charlotte prior to Sunday's game versus the Rays, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports. The White Sox need bullpen help after five relievers were needed in Saturday's extra-inning win over the Rays. Berroa allowed 11 runs over his first 4.1 innings with Charlotte this season but has been unscored upon in his last seven appearances. The hard-throwing righty was acquired from the Mariners over the offseason in the Gregory Santos trade and will be making his White Sox debut when/if he gets into a game.

  • White Sox's Prelander Berroa: Resuming throwing Friday

    Berroa (shoulder) has been cleared to resume throwing Friday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Berroa had a right shoulder issue crop up earlier this week, but everything checked out fine and the reliever is "on pace to crank it up," per White Sox manager Pedro Grifol. It sounds like the hard-throwing reliever could have a chance to be ready for Opening Day, which would be a pleasant surprise. If healthy, Berroa should be in the late-inning mix for the White Sox.

  • Mariners' Prelander Berroa: Optioned to Double-A

    Berroa was optioned to Double-A Arkansas on Saturday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. Berroa walked three over two-thirds of an inning in his major-league debut Friday but managed to escape without allowing a run. Isaiah Campbell is taking his spot in the bullpen.

  • Mariners' Prelander Berroa: Moving to relief

    Berroa has transitioned to a relief role with Double-A Arkansas, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. The 23-year-old righty opened the year in the Double-A rotation, but after walking 19 batters and giving up 13 earned runs in 22.2 innings across five starts, Seattle will look to fast-track him as a reliever. Berroa, who is already on the 40-man roster, has a premium fastball/slider combination that could play up in a high-leverage role, assuming he can throw enough strikes.

  • Mariners' Prelander Berroa: Optioned to Double-A

    Berroa was optioned to Double-A Arkansas by the Mariners on Tuesday, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports. Berroa impressed during the spring camp, but the right-hander was never a real option to make the Mariners out of spring training. The right-hander will be a part of the Arkansas rotation, and he has a chance to be a part of the Seattle staff before the end of 2023, with 2024 a more likely ETA.
