Chicago White Sox pitcher John Brebbia is dealing with a right calf strain, which will likely keep him out of games for a couple of weeks. The team remains hopeful that he will be ready for Opening Day. Additionally, Rule 5 pick Shane Drohan underwent shoulder surgery and is expected to start a throwing program by the end of spring. Brebbia mentioned he strained his calf during a live batting practice session but continued pitching unaffected.
