The White Sox will be without one of their promising young hitters until they're about halfway through the season in 2026. According to MLB.com, Tim Elko underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL in his right knee and is expected to return to action in eight months.
That puts him on track to get back on the field at the end of June.
Elko made his major league debut on May 10 last season, and impressed by hitting for power almost immediately. He hit his first home run in his second big-league game.
