Dunning recorded two outs and allowed two hits during Thursday's Game 3 loss to the Athletics. He didn't factor in the decision had zero strikeouts and zero walks.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old surrendered a pair of singles during the opening frame, and that was all manager Rick Reneria needed to see before calling in the bullpen. Despite the brief postseason outing, it was a strong rookie campaign for Dunning as he had a 3.97 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 35:13 K:BB over 34 innings (seven starts).

Dunning was charged with five runs (four earned) on three hits over three innings in a no-decision against the Cubs on Saturday. He struck out two batters and walked three.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander has been excellent since getting called up in mid-August, but he did not have his best command Saturday. He plunked a batter, gave up a grand slam to Kris Bryant and only managed a single swinging strike on 64 pitches. Things have been going worse for Dylan Cease, so it seems likely we see Dunning start Game 3 of the first round for the White Sox, if a Game 3 is necessary.

Dunning took a no-decision after allowing four runs on six hits and one walk while striking out five over four innings in Monday's 7-4 loss to Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

The White Sox were able to climb out of an early hole and prevent Dunning from picking up his first loss, but this was the first time the team lost in his six starts. Dunning's command was off, particularly on a 3-1 fastball in the first inning that Jose Ramirez turned on for a three-run home run. The 25-year-old right-hander is in the mix to be part of the playoff rotation and will get one last regular-season outing Saturday at home against the crosstown Cubs.

Dunning (2-0) allowed three hits and two walks while striking out seven across seven innings to earn the win Tuesday against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Dunning had little trouble with the Twins lineup, as the only big hit he surrendered was an inside-the-park home run to Byron Buxton. He recorded 11 of hits via fly ball, though he limited damage by keeping the ball in the yard. Dunning has been able to work deeper into games of late, as he's combined to throw 13 innings across his last two starts. Overall, he's maintained a 2.33 ERA with a 28:9 K:BB in his first 27 big-league frames. His next turn through the rotation currently projects to come Sunday at Cincinnati.

Dunning (1-0) tossed six innings of scoreless baseball, allowing just three hits during the White Sox' 8-1 victory over the Pirates on Wednesday. He walked one and struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

Making his fourth start of the season, Dunning lasted beyond five innings for the first time and picked up his first career win. He will carry a 2.70 ERA with 21 strikeouts into his next scheduled start against the Twins in a week. He is likely worth a roster spot in most formats.

Dunning will start Wednesday in Pittsburgh, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He is coming off his worst big-league start, having surrendered three runs while striking out four and walking four in 4.2 innings Sept. 4 in Kansas City. Dunning would likely need to struggle significantly in another couple starts to get booted from the rotation before season's end.

Dunning allowed three runs on five hits and four walks while striking out four over 4.2 innings versus the Royals on Friday. He did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Dunning needed 88 pitches (57 strikes) to complete his outing, coming up one out short of qualifying for the win. It was a bit of a shaky outing the 25-year-old, but he's pitched to a solid 3.86 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 18 strikeouts through 14 innings across three stars. Dunning's next turn in the rotation is expected to come next Friday against the Tigers.

Dunning allowed one walk and no hits while striking out seven across five scoreless innings Sunday against the Royals. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Dunning was pulled after 79 pitches despite having a no-hitter intact. He generated 13 swinging strikes while also inducing six groundball outs to dominate the Royals. Dunning has pitched well through two starts in the major leagues, allowing three earned runs across 9.1 frames while also racking up a 14:2 K:BB. With Gio Gonzalez (groin) placed on the injured list, Dunning should have a spot in the rotation going forward, and his next start is projected to come Friday in a rematch at Kansas City.

The White Sox recalled Dunning from their alternate training site ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Royals, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chicago placed Gio Gonzalez (groin) on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move, clearing a spot on the active roster and in the rotation for Dunning. The right-hander made his MLB debut Aug. 19 against the Tigers, working 4.1 innings and giving up three runs on five hits and a walk while striking out seven.

Dunning will be recalled from the alternate training site to start Sunday against the Royals, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old made his big-league debut Aug. 19 and allowed three runs on five hits with seven strikeouts and one walk over 4.1 innings, and he'll return to start in Sunday's series finale. Dunning threw 73 pitches in his first start and is expected to have a similar workload his second time out. It's unclear if he'll receive a longer look in the rotation this time around or if it will just be a spot start.
