Kopech left the first inning in Sunday's game versus the Texas Rangers due to right knee discomfort. The injury doesn't appear to be serious as the team removed fluid from his knee, giving manager Tony La Russa some much-needed relief. La Russa said he's 'slightly optimistic' that Kopech can pitch this upcoming Sunday against the Houston Astros.
Burger left the fourth inning of Monday's game versus the Detroit Tigers due to a right bruised hand.
