Lynn allowed three hits and two walks while striking out five over six scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Lynn has had mixed results since making his season debut June 13, but Friday's start was an impressive one. The right-hander threw 63 of 104 pitches for strikes and matched Giants starter Alex Cobb the whole way. The White Sox ultimately won 1-0 after scoring in the ninth inning. Lynn has a 4.50 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 22:5 K:BB through 22 innings in his four starts this year. He still has a 1-1 record, which he'll look to improve upon in a projected home start versus the Twins next week.

Lynn (1-1) gave up five earned runs on six hits and a walk while striking out eight over 6.2 innings against the Orioles on Saturday. He was tagged with the loss.
EDGE Analysis
Lynn's struggles continued in his third start since returning from the IL, and he has now given up 11 earned runs over those starts. The silver lining is that Lynn struck out a season-high eight batters and went fairly deep into the game while throwing 109 pitches. Three of his earned runs came in to score on a bases-loaded hit off Jose Ruiz, who was pitching in relief of Lynn in the seventh. Lynn appears to be completely healthy after suffering a meniscus tear during spring training, so there is reason to believe that the 35-year-old veteran will pitch closer to his career norms once he gets more starts under his belt.

Lynn (1-0) allowed five runs (three earned) on four hits and two walks while striking out five across five innings to earn the win Monday against Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Lynn showed flashes of brilliance, as he struck out the side in the first inning and also retired seven consecutive batters between the third and fifth innings. However, he still surrendered a two-run homer and a two-run double -- both hit by Teoscar Hernandez. Even so, it was a significant step forward for Lynn as he allowed only six baserunners across five innings after allowing 10 hits in his first outing of the campaign. He's also maintained a 9:2 K:BB across 9.1 innings.

Lynn (knee) allowed three runs on 10 hits and struck out four in 4.1 innings, taking a no-decision in Monday's 9-5 win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
The Tigers got all three of their runs off Lynn in the first two innings, though he was only a little sharper in allowing three hits in after that point. This was the veteran right-hander's season debut, so a little rust could be expected. He logged a 2.69 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 176:45 K:BB across 157 innings last year, and he's only once posted a season ERA above 4.00 in his career, so there's reason to be optimistic about the 35-year-old going forward. He's projected to make his second start of 2022 at home versus the Blue Jays next week, as the White Sox are expected to roll with a six-man rotation for now.

Lynn (knee) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list prior to Monday's start against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Lynn will make his season debut during Monday's series opener in Detroit after he missed the first two months of the year due to knee surgery. The right-hander was effective during his first season with the White Sox in 2021, posting a 2.69 ERA and 1.07 WHIP in 157 innings over 28 starts, but he gave up 10 runs in 10 innings during three rehab starts over the last few weeks.

Lynn (knee) will start Monday's game against the Tigers, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander was initially trending toward a Tuesday return, but he'll be cleared to make his season debut a day earlier than expected, while Dylan Cease will start Tuesday. Lynn made three rehab starts over the last few weeks and posted a 9.00 ERA and 1.70 WHIP in 10 innings.

Lynn (knee) is expected to start Tuesday against the Tigers, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Previous reports indicated Lynn could return Monday, but there doesn't appear to be any setback behind the minor change of plans. He struggled in his latest rehab start for Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday, giving up seven runs on nine hits in three innings of work, but the White Sox nevertheless seem to think he's ready to make his season debut.

Lynn (knee) will make another rehab start Wednesday and could join the big-league rotation at Detroit on June 13 if all goes well, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
He built up to 62 pitches in his most recent start and is targeting five innings in this next outing for Triple-A Charlotte. Manager Tony La Russa wouldn't commit to a June 13 return for Lynn but said it was a possibility.

Lynn (knee) gave up three runs on four hits and one walk over four innings Friday in a rehab start for Triple-A Charlotte, Scot Gregor of the Chicago Daily Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
He built up to 62 pitches after throwing 39 pitches in his previous outing. According to Gregor, Lynn will require at least one more rehab start before joining the White Sox.

Lynn (knee) threw three scoreless innings while allowing two hits and striking out three in Sunday's rehab appearance with Triple-A Charlotte.
EDGE Analysis
Lynn pitched well in his first rehab start, and he also threw 39 pitches. He is expected to make two additional appearances with the Knights prior to being activated from the injured list for his season debut with the White Sox. While his potential workload will become clearer, Lynn appears to be in a good position to immediately shoulder a significant workload. He should return by the middle of June if there are no setbacks.
