Jennings notched his eighth hold in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Astros, getting one out to close out the eighth inning.

EDGE Analysis

Jennings wiggled out of a high-leverage situation after taking over for Steve Cishek with Jose Altuve on second and two out. The veteran reliever saw Altuve swipe third, but he was able to induce an inning-ending foul pop from pinch hitter Evan Gattis to get out of the jam. Jennings has pieced together four straight scoreless outings with the Rays after giving up a run in his first appearance with the team. His ability to largely neutralize left-handed hitters (.189 BAA and only one homer surrendered in 75-batter sample) should afford him a solid workload for the balance of the campaign.

Jennings fired a scoreless two-thirds of an inning in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Yankees, allowing a walk.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old southpaw has seen action in three of his first four days with his new club, but Sunday's outing was the first in which he actually recorded an out. Jennings had put together a solid body of work with the White Sox prior to being traded, so he's expected to see plenty of work as a lefty specialist during the second half.

The Rays acquired Jennings from the White Sox for first baseman Casey Gillaspie, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander will likely park in the middle innings and lefty-on-lefty matchups, adding depth to a solid but not spectacular bullpen. Jennings carries a 3.45 ERA with strikeouts and 19 walks in 44.1 innings.

Jennings worked around a hit and a walk over 1.1 scoreless innings in Monday's 7-2 win over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Jennings has not allowed a run over his last 7.2 innings, his longest stretch of the season without allowing a run. The 30-year-old Jennings is a low-leverage reliever whose propensity to walk batters makes it difficult to trust him for a greater role.

Jennings (2-1) allowed a walk-off single to pinch hitter Guillermo Heredia in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Jennings has been part of one of the best bullpens in MLB this season, but his season as taken a turn since the calendar flipped to May. The left-hander has allowed eight runs (seven earned) on nine hits and four walks over 3.2 innings this month. It speaks to the injuries the White Sox are dealing with among the relief corps. We might normally see Zach Putnam (elbow) or Jake Petricka (back) enter the ninth inning of a tie game, but manager Rick Renteria was forced to use Jennings on Thursday.

Jennings (2-0) pitched 1.2 scoreless innings, striking out two in Tuesday's 10-5 win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Rick Renteria pulled starter Dylan Covey with a two-run lead after four innings and 86 pitches in favor of the league's second-ranked bullpen (2.05 ERA). That put Jennings in an easy position for the win. He pounded his four-seam fastball-slider mix to set down all five batters faced.

Jennings (1-0) allowed one hit in a scoreless inning and was credited with the win in Friday's 2-1 victory over Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Jennings has been an effective reliever for the White Sox despite a less-sanguine sabermetric view of him. He's posted a 1.93 ERA in six appearances this season, but his 5.77 FIP is an ominous sign.

Jennings pitched two scoreless innings, striking out four without allowing a hit or a walk in Friday's exhibition against Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

Other than one bad outing, Jennings had a strong spring training with 11 strikeouts over nine innings. He was effective for the White Sox in 2016, posting the bullpen's lowest ERA over a career-high 64 appearances. He'll be used similarly in 2017, throwing in the sixth and seventh innings, sometimes asked to get more than three outs.

Jennings agreed to a one-year, $1.4 million deal with the White Sox on Thursday, avoiding arbitration, Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jennings parlayed his strong 2016 into a significant pay increase for the 2017 season as he'll serve as Chicago's best left-handed weapon out of the bullpen. He's not an elite source of strikeouts given his 48 K's in 60.2 innings in 2016, but his 2.08 ERA and .217 batting average allowed against lefties are valuable qualities in a reliever.

Jennings picked up a one out save with a strikeout Tuesday against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

David Robertson blew the save in the ninth inning, and after the White Sox regained the lead in the 10th, they played matchups. Jennings did his job, as he struck out fellow left-hander Eric Hosmer to end the game. Robertson hasn't been at his best this season, but it isn't worth expecting too many more situations like this for Jennings the rest of the way.
