In 24 starts, he went 7-7 with a 3.70 ERA and struck out 170 batters in 126.1 innings pitched.advertisingThe White Sox have been rebuilding for several years now, but they own one of the top farm systems in all of baseball. Kopech and Moncada are among the franchise players this team is trying to build around, so losing him for possibly two calendar years is a brutal blow for the franchise.With Kopech and a long list of pitchers sadly going through all of these injuries in their throwing arms, one has to expect that MLB teams will start trying to cut back on their workloads. Kopech is only 22 years of age and will miss at least a full season, which is a true shame.Hopefully, his surgery goes just fine, and Kopech can hit the target return date of the 2020 season.advertising MIAMI (AP) — Wander Suero was trying to pick a runner off first base when he let another stroll into home.Suero balked in a run while the Washington Nationals blew a four-run lead, and the Miami Marlins rallied for an 8-5 victory Monday night.Washington led 4-0 after 4 1/2 innings but trailed by the end of the sixth.
