Danks has allowed 13 runs in 9.2 innings through three Cactus League starts.

EDGE Analysis

Spring training stats do not matter much for a veteran like Danks, but there is also little to get excited about. Danks seems to be cemented in as the team's fourth or fifth starter, where he will be asked to do little more than eat a ton of innings.

Danks (7-15) struggled on Thursday, allowing six runs on 11 hits and three walks while striking out two in a 6-4 loss to the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

It was an ugly outing for Danks, as he drew just two swinging strikes in his 92 pitches. Danks had not allowed more than three runs in his previous six starts and the regression is a bit disappointing to see in his final start of the season. Although this was in Kansas City, it's hard to be a flyball pitcher in a park like Cellular Field and Danks will need to adjust that a bit if he wants to avoid having outings like this next season.

Danks took the loss Saturday despite recording a quality start, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks over six innings while striking out five.

EDGE Analysis

The White Sox hitters couldn't solve Adam Warren, otherwise Danks might have been better rewarded for his efforts. His final start of the season is scheduled for the season's final day, as he takes on the Tigers at home next Saturday.

Danks took a no decision Monday against Oakland as he allowed three runs on three hits and three walks over seven innings. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

It was a rollercoaster start for Danks, whose three hits allowed Monday were all solo home runs. Danks has now allowed 23 home runs on the season, but he has three consecutive quality starts now and has allowed just six runs in his past 22 innings (2.45 ERA) with a 16:4 K:BB. Danks is weirdly on fire, but it's hard to expect him and his 4.56 ERA to keep this level up through the end of the year.

Danks is no longer scheduled to pitch this weekend, the Chicago Tribune's Colleen Kane reports.

EDGE Analysis

He was anticipated to stick in the rotation for his scheduled start Friday against the Twins, but Erik Johnson will now get the start that day with Chris Sale moving up take the ball Sunday. The White Sox have a doubleheader on Sept. 21, meaning they will need to go back to a six-man rotation before then, so odds are Danks will make at least one start next week.

Danks (7-12) went the distance on Friday, giving up one run on seven hits and a walk while striking out five in a win over Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

Where did that come from? After going 0-3 in his last three starts, giving up 13 runs in 18 innings, Danks pitched a gem on Friday. Despite an otherwise mediocre season is he worth putting on your radar to see if lightning strikes twice? No.

Danks (6-12) gave up two runs on seven hits while striking out five over six innings in Friday's loss to the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Though providing a significant improvement from Sunday's woeful performance, Danks fell to the home run on Friday, giving up solo shots to Kyle Seager and Franklin Gutierrez in the sixth for the only runs of the game. Danks has kept the ball in the yard better than he has in past seasons, but has now surrendered five in his past three starts. With mediocre-at-best numbers across the board, Danks should not be on your radar for the remainder of the season.

Danks lasted 4.1 innings against the Blue Jays on Wednesday, giving up six runs on eight hits while striking out four and walking one. After pitching seven scoreless innings in his last outing, Danks couldn't make it through the fifth inning Wednesday. The 30-year-old has been inconsistent all season, and he has yet to show that he can muster up two quality starts in a row.

Danks threw seven shutout innings against the Orioles on Friday to earn his fourth win of the season. Well that was unexpected. Danks had been so inconsistent of late that the White Sox skipped his last start. The outing was one of his best of the season, rivaling the complete game shutout he threw against the Astros on May 31. But where he allowed 10 hits in that start, he only allowed five (all singles) Friday. Still, he has generally been awful this season, and it is difficult to recommend rostering him.

Danks will have his turn in the rotation skipped and will not be the starter on Sunday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Danks was scheduled to make the start Saturday, but the game was postponed due to rain. The White Sox have announced their starters up through Wednesday, including Jeff Samardzija on Sunday, so it appears the next time Danks will take the mound will be next weekend against Baltimore.
