Anthony Kay’s breakout season in Japan turned into a proving ground for the White Sox, where he traded overpowering heat for smarter pitch mixing — and it worked. After a shaky start with a 6.12 ERA, Kay dialed back his velocity and leaned into his off-speed arsenal, turning his changeup and sweeper into strike-zone weapons that made his fastball and cutter even more dangerous. Since May 1, his ERA has plummeted to 3.46, transforming him from rotation weak link to steady anchor. Meanwhile, the Sox rotation is slowly taking shape with Fedde and Urquidy penciled in, while injury updates show Davis Martin nearing return, Kyle Teel inching toward ankle tests, and prospect Cameron Johnson on track for spring readiness after elbow surgery.
