Dunning didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's 5-2 victory over the Angels, allowing two runs on seven hits and three walks with four strikeouts in six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Dunning settled down after permitting single runs in each of the first two frames to keep Los Angeles off the board with the help of two double plays despite surrendering 10 baserunners. The quality start is the 27-year-old's first in his last four turns, though he's issued a total of 11 free passes across 18.1 innings in the stretch and his 3.63 BB/9 rank second worst among 63 qualified starters. Dunning carries a 4.30 ERA and 1.43 WHIP into his next start, scheduled for next weekend against the White Sox.

Dunning registered a no-decision during Tuesday's 5-4 loss to Seattle, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks with five strikeouts in five innings.

EDGE Analysis

Making his first start since being sidelined by an ankle injury, Dunning surrendered a leadoff Julio Rodriguez home run and struggled through a 34-pitch first inning. The 27-year-old settled down to retire 13 of the final 14 Mariners he faced and induced an impressive 13 swinging strikes on 85 pitches. Dunning carries a 4.38 ERA and 1.42 WHIP into his next start, scheduled to come over the weekend against the Angels.

Dunning (ankle) was activated from the 15-day injured list and will start Tuesday's game in Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Dunning has been sidelined the past couple weeks by a right ankle impingement, but he'll rejoin Texas' rotation Tuesday. The 27-year-old covered five innings during his rehab start in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League last week, so he shouldn't face significant workload limitations in his first game back in the majors.

Dunning (ankle) allowed two runs on three hits and one walk while striking nine over five innings Thursday for the Rangers' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate.

EDGE Analysis

The Rangers are already listing Dunning as their probable starters for Tuesday's game at Seattle, so he looks like he'll come off the 15-day injured list that day if he came out of the rehab outing without any setbacks. The fact that the right-hander was able to throw five innings Thursday suggests he can handle a normal workload in his return to the Texas rotation.

Dunning (ankle) is in line to return from the 15-day injured list to start the Rangers' game in Seattle on Tuesday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dunning was placed on the IL on July 11 with a right ankle impingement, but he'll end up spending the minimum amount of time on the shelf due to the injury. The right-hander is scheduled to make a rehab start Thursday for the Rangers' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate, and assuming he comes out of that outing unscathed, he shouldn't face any major workload restrictions in his return to the Texas rotation next week. Before being shut down prior to the All-Star break, Dunning went 1-6 with a 4.42 ERA and 84:37 K:BB in 95.2 innings over his 18 starts.

The Rangers placed Dunning on the 15-day injured list Monday with a right ankle impingement, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Left-hander Kolby Allard was summoned from Triple-A Round Rock to join the 26-man active roster as a replacement for Dunning, who presumably picked up the injury at some point during his start Sunday against the Twins. With 17 walks in 30.1 innings over his last six starts, Dunning had been struggling mightily with his control of late, so the time off due to what's believed to be a minor injury could give him the chance to workshop some mechanical tweaks. He won't be eligible for activation from the IL on July 26, meaning he'll miss at least two turns through the rotation even with the All-Star break coming next week.

Dunning allowed four runs on six hits, four walks and a hit batter with two strikeouts in 2.1 innings versus the Twins on Sunday. He did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Dunning avoided a loss as the Rangers' offense kept the game close, but this was his third start of less than five innings in his last seven outings. He was inefficient, throwing 38 of 66 pitches for strikes as he struggled to scrape together seven outs. The right-hander has given up four or more runs in six of his 18 starts, leading to a 4.42 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 84:37 K:BB across 95.2 innings. He'll look to get back on track in a home start versus the Mariners next week.

Dunning allowed five runs (three earned) on seven hits and one walk while striking out five over 5.1 innings Monday against the Orioles. He didn't factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Dunning entered the fifth inning with a two-run lead, but two unearned runs crossed the plate after a fielding error by his first baseman, tying the game at five. Despite a shaky outing Monday, he's posted a 3.92 ERA and 1.31 WHIP with a 26:13 K:BB over his last seven starts (39.0 innings).

Dunning (1-6) allowed two earned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out three across six innings to take the loss Wednesday against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Dunning turned in his third quality start across his last four outings. He's managed just a 13:12 K:BB in that span but has overcome his lack of control and strikeouts. It remains to be seen if Dunning can continue to walk his tightrope of productivity, but he has managed to lower his ERA 4.09 on the season while maintaining a 77:32 K:BB across 88 frames.

Dunning (1-5) took the loss Sunday in Detroit, allowing five runs on four hits, four walks and a hit batsman. He struck out two in 4.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Dunning got off to a rough start, giving up a three-run homer to Robbie Grossman before recording an out. He settled down and did not allow a hit in the next three innings but faltered in the fifth and was replaced after loading the bases with two outs. Over his last eight starts, the 27-year-old is 0-4 with a 5.11 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 39:17 K:BB in 44 innings. His next start will likely be next weekend against Washington.
