Gavin Floyd will have his next start pushed back due to right elbow/forearm tightness. Floyd showed no signs of the injury in his last outing, spinning 7 2/3 scoreless innings against the Blue Jays. The good news is that an MRI came back clean and he's expected to avoid a trip to the disabled list. It's possible he could be ready as soon as Wednesday. Dylan Axelrod will take his spot in the rotation Monday, while Philip Humber will return from the DL Tuesday.

Gavin Floyd hurled seven shutout innings, scattering five hits and no walks against the Twins on Tuesday. He struck out nine in the victory, shaving his ERA from 5.20 to 4.80. Prior to Floyd's start on June 20, he had gone six straight outings without a quality start, a horrific one-month stretch in which he resembled a batting practice coach. Since that time, he's cut his ERA by nearly a run. The talent has always been there, as has the inconsistency. One would need Biff's Sports Almanac from the future to know how Floyd will pitch through September.

Gavin Floyd held the Cubs to just four hits in 6 1/3 scoreless innings of Wednesday's 7-0 win. Floyd struck out four and walked one in improving to 5-7. Amazingly, the quality start was his first in seven outings. He'll bring a 5.20 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 76/24 K/BB ratio into his Tuesday tilt with the Twins in Minnesota.

Gavin Floyd had another rough outing in a loss to the Cardinals on Thursday, giving up five runs on eight hits in just 4 2/3 innings of work. Floyd struck out five but also walked four in the game. He looks completely lost at the moment and has now allowed four or more earned runs in each of his last six outings. Floyd has seen his ERA rise every season since 2008, and at 5.63 it doesn't appear poised to come back down any time soon. The White Sox may be best served considering replacement options to get Floyd out of the rotation, as he's currently a huge detriment to the team and its playoff chances. He'll attempt to get back on track when he battles the cross-town Cubs at U.S. Cellular Field on Tuesday.

Gavin Floyd struck out nine batters, but still allowed four runs on four hits and two walks over six innings in a loss to the Astros on Friday night. Yet again, it was the home run ball that brought about Floyd's demise in this outing. Brett Wallace hit a solo shot in the second inning, and Jed Lowrie added a two-run blast in fifth. With the loss, Floyd drops to 4-6 on the season. And he's also sporting a 5.38 ERA. He'll look to get back on track when he squares off against the Cardinals in St. Louis on Thursday.

Gavin Floyd was hit hard in a no decision against the Mariners on Saturday, giving up five runs on nine hits over his five innings of work. Floyd struck out four and didn't walk a batter in the game. As was the problem with Hector Noesi on the other side of the diamond, Floyd was a victim of the long ball in this one. All of the runs scored against him came courtesy of big flies from Michael Saunders, Justin Smoak and a pair from Ichiro Suzuki. He remains 4-5 on the season, but raises his ERA to an unimpressive 5.32. He'll attempt to get back in the win column when he takes on the Astros at home on Friday.

Gavin Floyd got hit hard in Sunday's 12-6 win over the Indians, allowing five runs on 10 hits in just five innings of work. Not a good day for Floyd, who allowed a three-run homer to Johnny Damon in the second, but he got bailed out by his offense. Now 4-5 on the year, Floyd has compiled a 5.02 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 54/17 K/BB ratio through 61 innings. He'll get the Mariners at home next Saturday.

Gavin Floyd got lit up by the light-hitting Angels in Wednesday's loss, allowing seven runs on 10 hits in six innings of work. Floyd allowed two home runs, one of which was a three-run shot to Albert Pujols. Pujols, of course, entered this evening with only one bomb on the season. Floyd's worst start of the year marks the third time in eight outings he's allowed five or more runs, and balloons his 2.53 ERA to 3.44. He should be able to get back on track on Tuesday when the White Sox host the Twins.

Gavin Floyd turned in another dominating performance on Friday, limiting the Royals to just five hits over 7 2/3 scoreless innings. Floyd racked up five strikeouts and walked two in the game. He's now 3-3 on the season with an impressive 2.53 ERA and 42/13 strikeout to walk ratio through the season's first 46 1/3 innings. He'll look to keep the trend of domination going as he takes on the Angels in Anaheim next week.

Gavin Floyd turned in a strong effort against the Tigers on Saturday, allowing just two runs on seven hits through seven innings of work. Floyd struck out six and didn't walk a batter in the game. He allowed both runs in the second inning, on a pair of seeing eye singles through the left side of the infield. He rebounded nicely after that, and did enough to keep his team in the game, allowing them to rally late and pick up a victory. Floyd remains 2-3 on the season, but lowers his ERA to an impressive 3.03. He'll look to carry over the momentum from this strong performance when he takes on the Royals next weekend.
