Johnson allowed three runs (two earned) on seven hits in 5.2 innings against the Yankees on Sunday to take his first loss of the season.

EDGE Analysis

He held the Yankees to a lone run through the first five frames of this game, but then he lost a handle on his command in the sixth. The inning started with a Dustin Ackley solo shot, and he exited after two singles, two walks, two more runs, and a passed ball. He has pitched well enough this September to warrant strong consideration for a starting spot come 2016, but his walking habits will continue to hound him.

Johnson held the Tigers to two runs on five hits in six innings in Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader to earn his third win of the season.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson got into a bit of trouble in the third inning, in which the Tigers scored their two runs, but he otherwise slid by unchallenged. He struck out a season-best nine batters and only walked three. He should receive another turn in the White Sox's rotation before he runs out of turns.

Johnson picked up his second win of the month Wednesday after holding the A's to three runs on six hits in six innings.

EDGE Analysis

He allowed his fifth home run in just three September starts, but he did a good enough job of keeping the A's off the basepaths to keep the score down. Johnson should earn a few more starts down the stretch as he auditions for a 2016 rotation role.

Johnson did not pick up the decision in Friday's loss to Minnesota, surrendering one run on four hits and five walks while striking out six in five innings.

EDGE Analysis

Though both have been solid, Johnson's two 2015 starts have been opposite sides of the same coin. After striking out just three and not giving up a walk on Sept. 6, Johnson doubled his strikeouts and piled on the walks on Friday. One of the few similarities between the two outings has been Johnson's penchant for giving up the long ball - four solo shots in just 11 innings of work. Johnson's ability, or inability, to keep the ball in the yard will be worth monitoring through the rest of the season.

Johnson will start Friday against the Twins, the Chicago Tribune's Colleen Kane reports.

EDGE Analysis

He was thought to be taking the ball Sunday, but the White Sox tweaked their rotation a little. Chicago will still operate with a semi-six-man rotation the rest of the way with Johnson in the mix.

Johnson will receive multiple starts moving forward as part of a "semi-six man rotation", Dan Hayes of CSN Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was rock solid in his first start of 2015, giving up just three runs through six innings against the Royals on Sunday, opening the door for the White Sox to give him a few more starts moving forward. While the rotation seems fluid at this point, it's clear Johnson will get plenty of opportunities to impress White Sox brass heading into next season.

Johnson allowed three runs on five hits in six innings Sunday en route to the win in his first MLB start of 2015.

EDGE Analysis

All three Royals' runs came off home runs, but all were of the solo variety as he only allowed two other base runners. The lack of walks served as an encouraging sign, as free passes doomed his MLB experience to open the 2014 season. The White Sox did not describe Johnson's role moving forward, but he should receive another start or two in the season's final weeks.

Johnson will start Sunday's game in Kansas City, MLB.com's Scott Merkin reports.

EDGE Analysis

This pushes Chris Sale's start back to Monday, and it would seem that the White Sox might be going with a six-man rotation down the stretch. Johnson has never had much success in the big leagues (4.73 ERA in 10 starts), but he was fantastic at Triple-A this year, posting a 2.37 ERA with 136 strikeouts in 132.2 innings. Still, it remains to be seen if that success will transfer over against big league hitters.

Johnson was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, Phil Rogers of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old was included as part of the team's first wave of September callups, and deservedly so, after posting a 2.37 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 136:41 K:BB over 132.2 innings at Charlotte this season. Johnson is not currently listed to start in the immediate future for the White Sox, but he could get a few turns down the stretch if the team opts for additional rest for some of its other young starters down the stretch.

Johnson was named the International League pitcher of the week after pitching 14 scoreless innings over his two starts, the Chicago Tribune reports. Johnson has actually not allowed an earned run in three straight starts (22 innings), and he has 28 strikeouts (to four walks) over that stretch. He could be gunning for a rotation spot at some point this season, especially if John Danks gets moved to the bullpen.
