Lynch (4-6) was charged with the loss against Cleveland on Tuesday after surrendering four runs on four hits and three walks while striking out five across six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Lynch allowed Cleveland to hit hard and hit early. After loading the bases with a pair of walks and a single in the first inning, Lynch earned his first out by sending Franmil Reyes down on strikes, but Yu Chang followed with bases-clearing triple to take a 3-0 lead. The southpaw's final damage of the night came from an Ernie Clement home run in the third. Lynch's first-inning woes are nothing new, as the 24-year-old has given up 19 earned runs in the first frames of his 14 starts. Overall this year, Lynch has compiled a 5.40 ERA and 1.57 WHIP.

Lynch (calf) is expected to make his next scheduled start Tuesday versus Cleveland, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lynch left his last start Thursday versus Oakland due to calf tightness in the third inning. It doesn't appear as if the injury will cost him any additional time. The southpaw has a 5.34 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 48:26 K:BB in 59 innings across 13 starts this year, and he carries a 4-5 record into Tuesday's start.

Lynch exited Thursday's start against the Athletics due to left calf tightness, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lynch appeared to tweak his calf on a pitch in the top of the third inning Thursday and was immediately removed from the contest. It's not yet clear whether the issue will force him to miss additional time. If he's able to make his next turn through the rotation, the southpaw tentatively lines up to start Tuesday against Cleveland.

Lynch was removed from Thursday's game against the Athletics in the top of the third inning due to an apparent lower-body injury, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lynch started Thursday's game and allowed a run on two hits and a walk while striking out one in two innings, but he was visited by a trainer after he appeared to tweak something on a pitch in the third frame. The nature and severity of the injury aren't yet known, and it's unclear whether the issue will force him to spend time on the injured list.

Lynch allowed four earned runs on seven hits while striking out four across six innings in the win over the Twins on Friday. He did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Lynch surrendered a pair of homers in the first inning to Byron Buxton and Josh Donaldson before recording an out. However, after he gave up the four runs to the first four batters he faced, he allowed no further damage over six frames. The 24-year-old has a 5.37 ERA and 1.61 WHIP with 47 strikeouts in 57 innings.

Lynch (finger) is listed as the probable starting pitcher for Friday's game against the Twins, Lynn Worthy of The Kansas City Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lynch lasted just 2.2 innings in his Saturday start against the White Sox, allowing six runs on five hits and three walks. It was later revealed that the southpaw was pitching through a cut on his finger that made it difficult for him to deliver his pitches. It's not clear if the issue has entirely subsided, but the plan as of now is for him to toe the rubber Friday. Lynch allowed just three earned runs across his previous 16.2 innings before Saturday's shaky outing.

Lynch exited Saturday's start against the White Sox in the third inning due to a cut on his finger, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lynch's injury played a role in his struggles Saturday since he had trouble finishing his pitches due to the cut on his finger. Prior to his departure, he allowed six runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three in 2.2 innings to take the loss. The southpaw lines up to make his next start on the road against Minnesota on Friday, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to pitch.

Lynch didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Mariners after allowing one run on seven hits and three walks while striking out four across 4.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Lynch pitched in normal rest despite the fact that his start was moved up to Saturday, and he continued the series of strong performances he's been hurling of late. He has gone 4-1 with a 2.24 ERA across his last seven starts.

Lynch, who was originally scheduled to start Sunday's game against Seattle, will instead start Saturday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The shifting of the starting rotation became a necessity when Saturday's projected starter, Carlos Hernandez, was called upon to hurl 5.2 innings in Friday's extra-innings win. Lynch's last start was Monday at Houston, so he will be pitching on normal rest. The left-hander has been on a roll of late, posting a 2.27 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 4-1 record over his past six starts.

Lynch (4-3) picked up the win in Monday's 7-1 victory against Houston, allowing one run on six hits and three walks with five strikeouts in five innings.

EDGE Analysis

Lynch toed the rubber against Houston for the second straight start and quieted its potent offense once again en route to the victory. The rookie lefty escaped jams in the third and fifth -- when the top of Houston's order saw him for the second and third time -- to permit just a single run across both frames. Lynch departed with a 2-1 lead that Kansas City quickly extended to erase any doubts about his fourth win in six turns. He tentatively lines up to face Seattle on Sunday.
