Overview

  • Syndergaard inked a minor league contract with the Chicago White Sox on June 24, marking his first team signing since 2023.
  • The 32-year-old right-hander has not pitched in a major league game since posting a 6.50 ERA over 18 starts split between the Dodgers and Guardians in 2023.
  • He owns a 3.71 ERA across eight MLB seasons, highlighted by a fourth-place finish in 2015 Rookie of the Year voting and an All-Star selection in 2016.
  • Syndergaard underwent Tommy John surgery in 2020 and has since battled elbow, lat and finger injuries that have hindered his performance.
  • Chicago ranks second-worst in MLB this season and views the low-risk deal as a chance to add veteran depth and mentorship to its young pitching core.
