Danks won't make his scheduled start Saturday as Chicago's game with Detroit has been postponed due to rain, Anthony Fenech of The Detroit Free Press reports. Danks was touched up for five runs in 5.1 innings in his last outing, and he'll have to wait at least another day to take the mound again. He'll likely be on the hill for Sunday's series finale, but the White Sox have yet to confirm their rotation order following the postponement.

Danks fell to 3-8 after serving up nine runs (five earned) in 5.1 innings Monday against the Twins. He struck out two and walked one. The White Sox made a couple of costly errors behind him, but Danks can't blame anybody but himself for the three home runs he served up. Danks has now given up 14 home runs and a staggering 97 hits in 80.1 innings, and it's hard to see where the upside comes from with the 30-year-old Danks at this point.

Danks (3-7) delivered seven solid innings Wednesday against the Pirates, but was stuck with the loss. He allowed three runs on just five hits, striking out four without a walk. All the damage against Danks came in the first inning -- in the following six, he gave up a pair of singles and nothing else. Unfortunately, with the way Danks has pitched this year -- not to mention the last several seasons -- good starts like this are the exception rather than the rule. He gets a nice matchup Monday in Minnesota, though.

Danks allowed five runs (three earned) on eight hits, walking one and striking out three over 5.1 innings of a 7-5 loss to Tampa Bay on Friday night. Danks (3-6, 5.16 ERA) continues to struggle, but the White Sox just don't have many viable options for their rotation. He did contribute a complete game shutout of the Astros in his first June start, but that is pretty much the extent of his 2015 highlight reel to date. He remains a risky play in all fantasy formats.

Danks could not escape the fifth inning against the Tigers on Saturday, allowing five runs on 11 hits in just 4.2 innings of work in the loss. This clunker comes off the heelds of a complete game shutout of the Astros earlier in the week. Danks was actually continuing that shutout for the first four innings of Saturday's contest, but he got trapped in a fifth that saw nine men approach the plate before the bullpen entered. Danks now has a 1.52 WHIP on the season, but there is no logical starter to replace him in the rotation.

Danks threw a complete game shutout against the Astros on Saturday to earn his third win of the season. It was easily Danks' best start of the season, but it was not a flawless gem. He allowed 10 hits in the outing, five of which went for extra-bases. There were a few instances in which the Astros could have scored a run against the White Sox's No. 4 starter, but they were done in by baserunning errors. It would be tough to imagine him repeating this performance anytime soon, especially in his next start against the Tigers.

Danks was roughed up by the Blue Jays Tuesday in five innings of work, allowing six runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out five. Danks hasn't shown much all season for the White Sox to keep him in the rotation which should bode well for newcomer Carlos Rodon. He's posted an ugly 5.69 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in nine starts this season.

Danks allowed five runs and six hits in 5.1 innings, striking out three and walking four Thursday against the Indians. Danks (2-4) was unable to continue a stretch of strong starting pitching for Chicago, which had gotten nine quality starts in its last 13 games with an ERA of 3.01 over that span. The Indians scored all five of their runs in the first two innings, and the White Sox failed to score Thursday, leading to a loss for Danks. He'll look to bounce back in his next scheduled start Tuesday at Toronto.

Danks pitched seven innings allowing just two runs on three hits while striking out six in the 4-3 win over the A's on Saturday. This is Danks second great start in a row where he went seven innings allowing two runs or less. In his next start he faces the lefty-heavy Indians on Thursday in what could be another good outing.

Danks turned in his best start of the season Sunday, holding the Reds to one run on six hits over seven innings in a no-decision. He struck out four and walked three over his 118 pitches. Danks was in line for the win in this one until the Reds rallied to tie the game in the top of the ninth. The pressure is on Danks to pitch well, as Carlos Rodon is pressing for the rotation after an effective start Saturday.
