Cease allowed four hits and three walks while striking out five in six scoreless innings during Sunday's loss to the Tigers. He didn't factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Although Cease was in line for the win when he exited Sunday's matchup, he didn't get much support from the White Sox's offense and was forced to settle for a second consecutive no-decision. The right-hander has been dominant since the start of September, posting a 1.13 ERA and 0.94 WHIP in 32 innings over five starts. He projects to make his nest start on the road against San Diego on Saturday.

Cease allowed a run on four hits and three walks while striking out three over six innings in a no-decision versus the Guardians on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Cease limited the damage to an Austin Hedges sacrifice fly in the second inning despite allowing more than five or more baserunners for a third straight start. Cease has logged quality starts in four of his last five outings and still appears to be one of the best pitchers in the American League, though he's faded a bit from his midseason peak. The right-hander owns a 2.13 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 217:71 K:BB through 173 innings across 30 starts. He's tentatively set for a favorable home start versus the Tigers in his next outing.

Cease (14-7) was tagged with the loss after he pitched five innings, giving up three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out eight against the Rockies on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Cease wasn't the best version of himself Wednesday, allowing two runs to score in the second frame before a C.J. Cron single in the fifth inning drove in the final run on his line. The 26-year-old came into the contest having given up just two runs over 23 innings in his last three starts combined, but Wednesday's outing ended his quality start streak at three outings. That being said, Cease still owns an awfully impressive 2.16 ERA and 1.08 WHIP with an eye popping 214 punchouts over 167 innings in 29 starts this season.

Cease (14-6) earned the victory Thursday in Oakland, striking out nine in six scoreless innings while allowing three hits and two walks in a 14-2 win.

EDGE Analysis

Cease made it look easy Thursday, allowing just one baserunner to reach second base and punching out nine. He's allowed only four hits and four walks while fanning 16 in 15 scoreless innings in September. In Thursday's outing, he passed the 200 strikeout mark for the second consecutive season. The 26-year-old's ERA has dropped to 2.06 for the year and he's certainly in contention for the American League Cy Young award. His next start will likely be in the middle of next week against Colorado.

Cease (13-6) pitched a complete-game shutout Saturday versus the Twins, allowing one hit and two walks while striking out seven in nine innings.

EDGE Analysis

Cease came within an out of a no-hitter before Luis Arraez broke it up with a single. It was still an excellent performance and the second shutout of Cease's career as well as his best outing of 2022. The right-hander entered Saturday without a win in his last four starts. He was also fairly efficient in this gem, throwing 68 of 103 pitches for strikes while racking up 14 whiffs. He now has a 2.13 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 197:64 K:BB through 156 innings across 27 starts in what could be a Cy Young campaign. Cease is projected for a favorable road start in Oakland next week.

Cease gave up two earned runs on two hits and one walk while striking out eight over eight innings in a 3-2 loss to the Diamondbacks on Sunday. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Cease continued his breakout 2022 campaign with an eight-inning quality start on 103 pitches. The only damage came on a pair of solo home runs. It was his longest start of the season and Cease lowered his ERA to 2.27 with the effort. The 26-year-old right-hander now has 16 games of eight or more strikeouts this year. The total is best in the majors. Cease is tentatively expected to make his next start against the Twins.

Cease (12-6) took the loss Tuesday in Baltimore, allowing four runs on three hits and three walks while striking out four in 5.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Baltimore got off to a fast start against the righty as Ryan Mountcastle knocked a three-run homer in the first. Following the homer, Cease retired 13 of the next 14 batters he faced before the Orioles tacked on another run in the sixth. After allowing one earned run or fewer in 14 straight starts, Cease has allowed seven earned runs in 10.1 innings over his last two starts.

Cease and the White Sox won't face the Guardians on Sunday after the game was postponed due to unplayable field conditions, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Due to inclement weather in the Cleveland area, the game was delayed from its scheduled 12:05 p.m. ET start time, only to be officially postponed just over three hours later. Because he had warmed up prior to the game being cancelled, Cease won't start Monday in Kansas City and will instead make his next start Tuesday in Baltimore, per James Fegan of The Athletic. The White Sox and Guardians will make up Sunday's postponed game Sept. 15.

Cease allowed three runs on six hits and three walks while striking out four over five innings in a no-decision versus the Astros on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Astros ended that impressive stretch with a pair of RBI doubles in the third inning, and Jose Altuve tacked on a solo home run in the fifth. Cease was spared from taking the loss as the White Sox rallied for the lead and held on to win. His ERA rose slightly to 2.09 with a 1.17 WHIP and 178:68 K:BB through 133.2 innings across 24 starts this year. He's tentatively projected for a road start in Cleveland this weekend.

He's now allowed one or fewer earned runs in 14 consecutive starts, helping him maintain a stellar 1.96 ERA across 128.2 frames for the season.
