John Danks gave up two runs over seven innings Friday in a loss to the Padres. Danks tossed eight scoreless innings last time out before Ronald Belisario coughed up the lead and he suffered from a lack of run support this time around. The go-ahead run scored on a wild pitch from Danks in the fifth inning. He fanned four and walked one in the loss and now stands at 3-5 with a 4.66 ERA through 11 starts. The veteran southpaw will face the Dodgers next week on the road.

John Danks fired eight scoreless innings in Saturday against the Yankees, but was handed a no-decision. Tough luck for Danks, who pitched his best game in two years. The southpaw was dominant, holding the Yankees to just three hits and no walks while fanning four batters. He retired 12 batters in a row at one point. This was the first time this season that he didn't walk a batter. A promising sign considering that he entered Saturday's start with 26 walks in just 52 2/3 innings. He'll look to build off this one when he faces the Padres next week at home.

John Danks was pounded for eight runs -- seven earned -- and three homers in 4 2/3 innings by the Astros on Sunday. Danks allowed one homer in 31 innings in April. This month, he's given up seven in 21 2/3 innings. He's not as bad as he's been lately, but since he's also not as good as he was during the first month, he's strictly an AL-only pitcher these days.

John Danks allowed three runs on six hits in six innings and struck out five in Monday's 5-4 setback against the A's. The veteran southpaw was doing just fine in a pitcher's duel across Jesse Chavez until Josh Donaldson took him deep for a two-run homer in the fifth inning. He still earned his second consecutive quality start, progress the White Sox will take after Danks surrendered eight runs over five innings to the Indians in his first May outing. Danks will strive to remain quality Sunday next time out in a matchup with the league's worst team at Houston.

John Danks allowed three runs in six innings and struck out eight Wednesday in a win over the Cubs. Danks had to be disappointed prior to this one, as the White Sox sent down his younger brother earlier in the day, but he pitched well enough to halt a two-start losing streak and establish a new season high for strikeouts. He entered with a 21/20 K/BB ratio in 36 innings, so the 8/1 mark tonight was pretty encouraging, even if it did come against the Cubs.

John Danks was obliterated in Friday's loss to the Indians, giving up eight runs on 10 hits over his five innings of work. The veteran southpaw walked three and struck out three in the disappointing effort. The Indians jumped on him early in this one, striking for five runs in the first and putting the game virtually out of reach. Danks now sports a horrifying 5.00 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 21/20 K/BB ratio through 36 innings on the season and shouldn't be considered anything more than a matchup plays in deep mixed leagues. He'll do battle against the Cubs at home on Wednesday.

John Danks yielded four earned runs in 5 2/3 innings Saturday as the White Sox fell to the Rays. It was a big step backward for Danks, who had rattled off four straight quality starts to open the 2014 season. He gave up seven Tampa Bay hits and walked four batters, falling to 2-1 on the year with a 3.48 ERA and 1.42 WHIP. The left-hander will pitch in Cleveland next.

John Danks limited the Tigers to one run in 6 1/3 innings in a victory over the Tigers on Monday. Danks is 4-for-4 turning in quality starts so far, though he's done it with a modest 14 strikeouts (versus 13 walks) in 25 1/3 innings. It's safe to say that the strikeout-to-walk ratio will improve, but his 2.84 ERA will probably worsen anyway. He's a mediocre play in mixed leagues.

John Danks pitched six innings of one-run ball versus the Red Sox on Wednesday. Danks gave up hits to the first three batters he faced and then not another one for the rest of his outing. In fact, the Red Sox didn't have another hit until the ninth. Danks ended up with a no-decision despite leaving with a two-run lead. He's 3-for-3 in quality starts this season, but he has just one win to show for it.

John Danks picked up a win after allowing three runs in six innings Thursday against the Indians. Danks no longer possesses the upside to be one of the AL's better lefties, but he's looking pretty solid in his first full year back from shoulder surgery. He allowed six hits, walked two and struck out four tonight.
