Cannon allowed one run on four hits and a walk while striking out seven over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Cannon dueled with Seattle starter Bryce Miller for seven innings, but the Mariners struck first when Luke Raley hit a solo home run in the seventh. This was still Cannon's best start of the season, and it appears he could have a chance to stick in the rotation for a while following the White Sox's recent reshuffling of their pitching staff. The 23-year-old is at a 4.56 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 24:5 K:BB over 23.2 innings over five appearances (four starts). Mike Clevinger (elbow) is expected to require a rehab assignment prior to returning to the Chicago rotation, and since that has yet to be announced, it seems likely Cannon will take the mound during next week's home series versus the Astros, especially after the right-hander's strong showing in Seattle.

Cannon is listed as the White Sox's probable starting pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old was recalled by Chicago and recorded a three-inning save Friday against Boston, and his next appearance will come as a starter. Cannon started in his three previous outings for the White Sox this season but struggled with 11 runs allowed and a 13:4 K:BB over 13.2 innings.

Cannon allowed three hits over three scoreless innings Friday, striking out four and picking up a save against Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Cannon entered the game with a 6-2 lead and threw 41 of 60 pitches for strikes on his way to earning his first MLB save. He was promoted from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday and made his first big-league appearance out of the bullpen after starting three games for the White Sox in April. Cannon was expected to be a back-end rotation piece after the promotion but he could be used in more of a long relief role for the time being. He owns a 5.94 ERA with a 17:4 K:BB through 16.2 innings.

The White Sox recalled Cannon from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander is taking the roster spot vacated by Jake Woodford and also seems likely to take Woodford's spot in the White Sox rotation. Cannon has posted a 7.24 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 13:4 K:BB in 13.2 innings covering three starts at the major-league level this season.

The White Sox optioned Cannon to Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Cannon's first stint in the big leagues lasted three turns through the rotation, with the rookie right-hander going 0-1 with a 7.24 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 13:4 K:BB in 13.2 innings across those starts. The White Sox have a day off Thursday and could get by with a four-man rotation until Mike Clevinger is fully stretched out for starting duty and ready to make his season debut, which could come as soon as next Sunday.

Cannon pitched five innings in a no-decision against Tampa Bay on Saturday, allowing four runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out five batters.
EDGE Analysis
Cannon was better than in his previous outing -- when he gave up six runs over 3.2 frames versus Minnesota -- and racked up a promising 15 swinging strikes, but he still allowed a constant stream of baserunners. The right-hander also gave up his first two homers of the campaign, accounting for three of the four runs against him. Cannon has given up 11 earned runs across 13.2 frames in his three starts, and it wouldn't be surprising if he's pushed out of the rotation once Mike Clevinger is ready to make his season debut for the big club.

Cannon (0-1) allowed six runs on nine hits and a walk over 3.2 innings Monday, striking out five and taking a loss against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Minnesota jumped on Cannon early, plating two runs in the first inning and three more in the third. His day was ended by an RBI double from Edouard Julien in the fourth. Cannon produced a solid MLB debut against the Royals but saw his ERA shoot up to 7.27 after Monday's tough outing. Should he get another turn in the rotation, he's lined up to face the Rays at home this weekend.

Cannon will start Monday in Minnesota, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cannon had a solid major-league debut Wednesday against the Royals, tossing five innings of one-run ball. It has earned him at least one additional start in the majors, although that could be it since Mike Clevinger is due to join the White Sox before long.

Cannon did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Royals, allowing one run on three hits and a walk while striking out three over five innings.
EDGE Analysis
Cannon turned in a strong effort in his first Major League appearance, holding Kansas City to a lone run in the second inning. The 23-year-old right-hander won't offer high strikeout totals (he averaged 7.88 K/9 last year in the minors) but he's demonstrated advanced command and an ability to generate ground balls thanks to a sinker that he threw 39 percent of the time in his debut. Cannon will likely return to the minors, though he'll remain first in line should the White Sox need reinforcements in their rotation.
