Colome walked one and struck out two in a scoreless ninth inning to record his fourth save of the season in a 5-4 win over the Royals on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander has looked good so far, posting a 2.57 ERA and 8:1 K:BB through seven innings while converting all four of his save chances. If recent White Sox history holds true, Colome will be flipped to a contender by the trade deadline, but his hold on the closer role for the team should be secure until then.

Colome earned his third save of the season after tossing a perfect inning Sunday against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Colome is now 3-for-3 on save opportunities this year following Sunday's flawless outing. He needed just 13 pitches (10 strikes) to retire the final three batters of the ballgame. The 30-year-old right-hander has posted a 3.00 ERA with six punchouts over six frames in 2019.

Colome struck out two and picked up the save in a perfect ninth inning Friday against Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Colome was confirmed as the White Sox's closer Friday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Colome was battling Kelvin Herrera for the role. Herrera's 2.70 ERA and five strikeouts in 6.2 innings are each better than Colome's 4.50 ERA and three strikeouts in 3 frames this spring, but Colome was announced as the winner by manager Rick Renteria. The confirmed role should boost Colome's fantasy value, though he's far from a top-tier closer, as his career 22.2 percent strikeout rate is well below the numbers produced by most ninth-inning options.

Colome allowed two runs on four hits in two-thirds of an inning Wednesday in a minor-league game, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Colome had been a bright spot in a bullpen that's been beat up in the Cactus League.

He's still expected to be the closer, but manager Rick Renteria has not made that official.

Colome allowed one hit over one scoreless inning Thursday against the Brewers.
