Tigers’ Sawyer Gipson-Long Returns to Majors vs White Sox
It’s been 615 days since Sawyer Gipson-Long last threw a pitch in the majors. On Wednesday night, the 27-year-old right-hander finally returns to the mound for the Detroit Tigers against the Chicago White Sox.
After undergoing right elbow surgery in April 2024 and left hip surgery last July, Gipson-Long’s path back has been anything but easy. But five minor league rehab starts in May across four levels set the stage for his return to the show.
“I think he’s learning how to pitch at this level,” Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said. “He’s using his full arsenal better, and he’s gotten back into a competitive mindset instead of just focusing on rehabbing.”
His last big league outing? September 28, 2023. He was sharp that night and has shown flashes of that form in rehab. Now the Tigers are hoping he can steady the rotation after a shaky bullpen game on Tuesday.

Chicago Aims for Momentum Behind Balanced Offense
The White Sox evened the four-game series on Tuesday with a 7-3 win, thanks to an all-around offensive effort. Eight of the nine starters recorded hits, led by Michael A. Taylor’s three-run homer and a four-RBI night.
Veteran Austin Slater added two RBIs, while Miguel Vargas and Mike Tauchman each chipped in with two hits. Tauchman, back from a hamstring issue, is quietly raking—batting .407 over his last seven games and .340 on the season.
“His performance has been elite,” said White Sox manager Will Venable. “But it’s also what he brings off the field—he’s vocal, holds teammates accountable, and sets the tone in the dugout.”
While Chicago is expected to go with a bullpen game on Wednesday, they’ve shown they can be effective by committee. Tuesday’s relief crew combined for 3 2/3 innings of one-run ball after Jonathan Cannon exited early and landed on the IL.

Can Gipson-Long Recapture His 2023 Form?
In four career starts, Gipson-Long is 1-0 with a 2.70 ERA across 20 innings. Interestingly, his lone big-league win came against the White Sox on September 10, 2023. That day, he went five innings, allowing just two runs on four hits with five strikeouts.
While the Tigers are taking a cautious approach, they’re optimistic that Gipson-Long’s return adds much-needed depth to a rotation in flux. Detroit is 7-2 over their last nine games and continues to claw upward in the standings following a sweep at the hands of Cleveland in late May.

Bullpen Battles, Health Updates, and What to Expect
Chicago’s bullpen has been tested, especially with Cannon’s injury. Tuesday’s performance, however, showed they can hold the line. That will be crucial as they face a Tigers offense that’s heating up at the right time.
Detroit knows Gipson-Long may not go deep in his first outing back, meaning their bullpen will likely be active again. But if the young right-hander can give them a strong 4–5 innings, it could be enough to swing the game.
