History

Historical Context

In 2011, a forearm strain put veteran Mark Buehrle on the 15-day disabled list, ending a White Sox career that included a 49-start streak of six-plus innings (2005) and fourteen straight 200-inning seasons. The same pattern reappeared in 2026 when Chicago’s Garrett Crochet entered the IL with a lat strain, missing 48 days and highlighting MLB’s reliance on long-term contracts and rehab clauses.
