Full Chicago White Sox Injury Report

Injuries played a pivotal role in the White Sox’s struggles during the 2024 season. Notable absences included:

  • Luis Robert Jr.: The team’s star outfielder suffered a hip flexor injury in early April, sidelining him for nearly two months. His absence left a significant void in the lineup, impacting the team’s offensive capabilities.
  • Yoán Moncada: The third baseman dealt with persistent back issues, limiting his appearances to just 12 games. This injury further weakened the White Sox’s infield and overall offensive production.
  • Eloy Jiménez: The designated hitter and outfielder faced multiple injuries throughout the season, including a significant hamstring strain. These setbacks restricted him to 65 games, diminishing his impact as a power hitter.
  • Mike Clevinger: The starting pitcher underwent disc replacement surgery on his neck in August, ending his season prematurely. Prior to his injury, Clevinger had struggled, posting a 6.75 ERA over four starts.
  • Jimmy Lambert: A reliable arm in the bullpen, Lambert underwent season-ending shoulder surgery in August, further depleting the White Sox’s pitching depth.

These injuries contributed to the White Sox finishing with a 41-121 record, the most losses in modern MLB history.
