Throws 20 pitches off mound
Thorpe (elbow) sat at 84 to 85 mph during a 20-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
The reduced velocity was by design as he ramps things up while working his way back from elbow issues. Thorpe will throw bullpen sessions for three weeks before progressing to live batting practice. Given that timeline, it seems unlikely that Thorpe will be ready in time for Opening Day, though the White Sox have not revealed a concrete timetable for the young right-hander.

Set for mound work Tuesday
White Sox manager Will Venable said that Thorpe (elbow) will throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Thorpe has experienced a couple of setbacks in his recovery from September surgery to remove a bone spur from his right elbow, resulting in him entering spring training behind the White Sox's other healthy pitchers. The right-hander still appears on pace to be ready for the start of the season, however, though he's probably at least a couple weeks away from pitching in Cactus League games. Assuming Tuesday's side session goes well, Thorpe will likely continue to throw at least a couple more bullpen sessions after that before advancing to facing hitters in live batting practice.

Hopes for mound work next week
Thorpe (elbow) said Thursday that he hopes to throw off a mound next week, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Thorpe underwent surgery in September to remove a bone spur from his right elbow and subsequently had a pair of setbacks, so he's a little behind at the start of camp. While the hope is that he will not need a stint on the injured list to begin the season, it's far from a given that he'll be able to avoid one. If healthy, Thorpe is projected to be part of the White Sox's rotation.
