Junk allowed one earned run on three hits and no walks while striking out two across 4.1 innings Wednesday against the White Sox. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Junk was only allowed to throw 61 pitches, but he managed improved results as compared to his major-league debut. The only run he allowed came on a solo home run by Yoan Moncada in the fourth inning. Junk excelled at consistently finding the strike zone, as 40 of his 61 pitches went for strikes. Though the outing was positive, Junk may lose his spot in the rotation due to the imminent return of Alex Cobb (finger).
