White Sox exercised RHP Gavin Floyd's $9.5 million option for 2013. It was a pretty easy decision. Floyd's ERA has been over 4.00 each of the last four seasons, but he's had nice ratios and has been very durable for the White Sox. Slated to turn 30 in January, Floyd will hope to put up a big year in 2013 before hitting free agency.

Gavin Floyd dominated the Indians in Wednesday's 9-0, season-ending win, scattering just three hits across seven scoreless frames. Floyd fanned six and walked two. It was an embarrassing end for an Indians team that folded up shot in mid-summer, and promising finish for a White Sox club that majorly overachieved. As for Floyd, he was typically inconsistent, posting a 4.29 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 144/63 K/BB ratio across 168 innings. He turned in 13 quality starts, but was also roughed up for five or more runs eight times. The White Sox must now decide whether they want to exercise Floyd's $9.5 million 2013 club option. They most likely will.

Gavin Floyd came through with an impressive outing when the White Sox needed it most on Friday, allowing just one run on two hits over five innings in a win over the Rays. Floyd struck out six in the game. He also struggled with his command though, issuing five walks and requiring 105 pitches to battle through five innings. While the Rays certainly made him work, he was able to come through with big pitches when he needed to, limiting the overall damage. He'll take an 11-11 record and 4.47 ERA into the regular season finale against the Indians in Cleveland on Wednesday.

Gavin Floyd allowed four earned runs over six innings Sunday in a loss against the Angels. Floyd racked up eight strikeouts and issued only one walk, but the dangerous Anaheim offense poured on seven hits (including a Kendrys Morales two-run homer). Floyd has a 4.56 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in 156 innings this season. He will take on the Rays next time out.

Gavin Floyd will start Tuesday against the Royals. Early speculation was that Floyd was going to start Monday's makeup game against the Tigers, but Jose Quintana will get the assignment now that Francisco Liriano isn't being skipped in the rotation. Floyd allowed three runs over 4 2/3 innings Wednesday in his first start back from the disabled list and will get some extra time to recover.

The White Sox have yet to officially announce a starter for Monday's makeup game with the Tigers. The assumption was that Gavin Floyd would get the assignment. It may still happen, but the White Sox will likely wait a day or two to see how his elbow feels. He allowed three runs over 4 2/3 innings Wednesday against the Tigers in his first start back from the disabled list.

Making his first start since August 26, Gavin Floyd allowed three runs on four hits in 4 2/3 innings of Chicago's loss to the Tigers. Floyd struck out seven and walked one in falling to 9-10 on the season. Now the owner of a 4.59 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 121/54 K/BB ratio through 143 innings, Floyd will get the Royals in Kansas City next week.

White Sox activated RHP Gavin Floyd from the 15-day disabled list. Floyd will make his return Wednesday night for a critical start against the Tigers. The 29-year-old right-hander hasn't pitched since August 26 due to a flexor strain in his right elbow. He has a 4.55 ERA and 114/53 K/BB ratio in 138 1/3 innings this year.

White Sox manager Robin Ventura said Gavin Floyd will start Wednesday against the Tigers if his elbow feels good. The White Sox haven't made an official decision yet, but Floyd hasn't had any issues during his recent bullpen sessions. The 29-year-old right-hander hasn't pitched since August 26 due to a flexor strain in his right elbow.

Gavin Floyd (elbow) hopes to rejoin the White Sox rotation next week. Floyd, out since August 26 with a flexor strain in his right elbow, threw sliders, changeups and fastballs during a bullpen session Thursday and is scheduled to mix in some curveballs during his next bullpen session on Sunday. The White Sox will likely wait until Monday before announcing the next step.
