Lynn has a slight tear in a tendon by his knee and will undergo surgery Tuesday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports. He's expected to be sidelined for approximately four weeks before resuming mound work.

EDGE Analysis

Lynn exited Saturday's spring game against the Diamondbacks due to right knee discomfort. After being sent in for an MRI, Lynn was recommended to undergo surgery, putting him on track to miss significant time to begin the regular season. The White Sox are hopeful that the right-hander will be able to resume throwing by the end of April or in early May, but because he'll need additional time to build up for starting duty, he could end up being sidelined until late May or sometime in early June. Reynaldo Lopez and Vince Velasquez should be in the mix for the final spot in the White Sox rotation while Lynn is sidelined.

Lynn was forced to exit Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks early with right knee discomfort.

EDGE Analysis

Lynn left the game in the bottom of the fourth inning, ending the outing having surrendered four earned runs (seven total) on seven hits while striking out four and walking one. With less than a week until Opening Day, Lynn's injury could prove to delay his debut for the 2022 campaign. More information on the injury will likely be provided Sunday.

Lynn (0-1) allowed five earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four across 3.2 innings to take the loss in Game 1 of the ALDS on Thursday against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Lynn worked through a clean first inning, but he then allowed at least one earned run in each of his next three frames. The result was a five-run deficit for the White Sox and Lynn's shortest outing since June 26. It was also Lynn's first postseason start since 2014, though he may have the chance to rebound in Game 5, if necessary.

Lynn will start Game 1 of the ALDS against the Astros on Thursday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lynn made his final start of the regular season Friday and allowed one run on four hits and a walk while striking out four in five innings to earn the win against the Tigers. The 34-year-old posted a career-best 2.69 ERA across 28 regular-season starts in 2021, and he'll make his first postseason appearance since 2018 during Thursday's Game 1 matchup.

Lynn (11-6) allowed one run on four hits and a walk over five innings Friday, striking out four and earning a win over Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Lynn rolled through three scoreless innings before Robbie Grossman tagged him with an RBI double in the fourth. The veteran righty ends his 2021 campaign with a terrific 2.69 ERA and 176:45 K:BB through 157 frames. He allowed two or fewer runs in five of his last seven starts this season.

Lynn (10-6) was tagged with the loss Sunday against Cleveland after allowing six runs on seven hits -- including two home runs -- while fanning six across six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Lynn has been hit-or-miss of late; he has given up six or more runs in two of his last four appearances, though at the same time, he's allowed one or fewer runs in four of his last six contests. The veteran hurler owns a 3.86 ERA across 16.1 innings through three starts this month.

Lynn (10-5) was tagged with the loss Saturday against Texas, pitching 5.1 innings and allowing two runs (one earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out five.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander was very effective in the outing, holding the Rangers without an extra-base hit over 5.1 frames. A fourth-inning infield error contributed to the first run against him, and the second was tallied after he had exited the contest in the sixth. Lynn has completed at least six innings only once over his past six starts, but he has nonetheless held opponents to one or zero earned runs in four of those outings. He'll carry an excellent 2.47 ERA into a road start against Cleveland next week.

Lynn allowed just two hits and struck out nine over five innings Sunday against the Red Sox. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Lynn pitched for the first time since Aug. 28 after a brief stint on the injured list and showcased some of his best stuff of the season. The 34-year-old did not issue any free passes. He had 13 swings and misses to strike out nine batters, his highest total since July 2. He was pulled after throwing just 70 pitches despite being in a nice groove. Lynn now owns a 2.50 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 161:42 K:BB over 140.2 innings. He lines up for a very favorable matchup against the Rangers next weekend.

Lynn (knee) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Lynn is listed as the starter for Sunday's series finale against the Red Sox, but he'll rejoin the active roster a few days ahead of time after he threw a successful bullpen session Friday. The right-hander had been on the injured list since Aug. 28, and he shouldn't have many restrictions Sunday following his brief absence.

Lynn (knee) is expected to return from the injured list to start Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lynn hit the injured list at the end of August with right knee inflammation, but reports at the time indicated he'd only miss one start. He'll wind up missing two turns in the rotation, as he last pitched Aug. 28, but he should be back in time to make a handful of appearances down the stretch.
