Lynn (knee) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Friday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lynn completed a bullpen session Tuesday and will throw at least one more bullpen before potentially rejoining the starting rotation. He was only expected to miss one start after landing on the IL with knee inflammation in late August, but it now appears he'll be out for at least two turns through the rotation. There's a chance the 34-year-old could start Sunday's series finale against the Red Sox, otherwise he should return to action during the three-game set versus the Angels, which begins next Tuesday.

Lynn (knee) is throwing a bullpen session Tuesday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Tony La Russa said Lynn was only expected to miss one start after being placed on the injured list with right knee inflammation in late August, and Tuesday's bullpen session could be the final hurdle before rejoining the rotation. Dallas Keuchel and Reynaldo Lopez are penciled in as the respective starters for Wednesday and Thursday in Oakland, potentially leaving Lynn to make his return Friday versus Boston.

Lynn (knee) will only miss one start after being placed on the injured list with right knee inflammation, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Tony La Russa confirmed that Lynn's IL placement was a precautionary move. The righty's ERA has risen from 2.04 to 2.59 after 13 runs in his last 21 innings, but he remains one of the top pitchers in baseball and will be needed at full health if the White Sox are to go far in the postseason.

Lynn was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with right knee inflammation.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear whether Lynn is dealing with a legitimate injury, or if the division-leading White Sox are just being precautionary and managing his workload with the postseason a month away. A minimum stay on the IL would cause the righty, who most recently allowed seven runs to the Cubs on Saturday, to miss only one start. Reynaldo Lopez figures to fill Lynn's rotation spot for however long he's sidelined.

Lynn (10-4) took the loss against the Cubs on Saturday, allowing seven runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out seven over five innings.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran hurler surprisingly struggled against a rebuilding Cubs offense, as he gave up season highs with seven runs and three homers. Patrick Wisdom took him deep twice in the contest, and Rafael Ortega delivered a big blow with a fourth-inning grand slam. Lynn did manage to strike out seven batters after totaling only four punchouts in each of his previous two starts, but it was nonetheless a disappointing effort from the American League Cy Young candidate. He'll look for a better result in his next outing, which is scheduled to come at Kansas City next weekend.

Lynn didn't factor into the decision in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays, allowing one run on four hits over seven innings. He struck out four without walking a batter.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander was sharp and efficient, tossing 52 of 86 pitches for strikes before handing things over to the bullpen in a 1-1 game. Lynn has 13 quality starts on the season, including four in seven outings since the All-Star break, and he sports a stellar 2.20 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 145:40 K:BB through 130.2 innings.

Lynn was ejected after the fourth inning of Wednesday's 3-2 win over Oakland. He did not factor into the decision after permitting one run on three hits and three walks while striking out four over four innings.

EDGE Analysis

As Lynn described the ejection, the first of his MLB career, to Scott Merkin of MLB.com, third-base umpire Nic Lentz was late coming to check the pitcher's glove and hat for foreign substances, so Lynn left both items on the field while he entered the dugout to see trainers. The umpire called for Lynn's belt, too, and the right-hander tossed it out on the field, which was apparently the trigger for the ejection. Lynn was at 88 pitches through four innings after escaping jams in the first and third innings. He's next expected to pitch Monday on the road in Toronto.

Lynn allowed four runs on four hits and a pair of walks over five innings Thursday against the Yankees, striking out seven. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

New York did its biggest chunk of damage off Lynn in the third inning, when Aaron Judge hit a three-run homer to give the Yankees a 3-1 lead. Brett Gardner also took Lynn deep in the sixth, the first time in almost two months that Lynn has allowed more than one homer in a start. It was also just the second time in 21 starts this season that an opponent has managed to put together more than three runs against Lynn. The 34-year-old is 10-3 on the year with a 2.26 ERA and 137:37 K:BB in 119.2 innings.

Lynn won't pitch Wednesday in Minnesota as originally planned and will instead start Thursday's "Field of Dreams" game against the Yankees in Dyersville, Iowa, Vinnie Duber of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Since Carlos Rodon (shoulder) was initially in line to start Thursday before being placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, the White Sox elected to adjust their pitching schedule by pushing Lynn back a day. Though Lynn will have the benefit of pitching on extra rest, the prospect of facing a superior Yankees team in an unfamiliar ballpark isn't the most ideal setup. Regardless, fantasy managers should include Lynn in their lineups without much thought, given that he's provided an excellent 2.04 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 130 strikeouts over 114.2 innings on the season.

Lynn allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out eight in six innings in Friday's win over the Cubs. He didn't factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Lynn recorded his fifth quality start in his last six outings by tossing six scoreless frames to begin Friday's contest, but he was removed from the game after allowing a single to Andrew Romine to lead off the bottom of the seventh. Romine came across later in the inning, and Craig Kimbrel gave up a three-run homer in the eighth that forced Lynn to settle for the no-decision. However, the 34-year-old starter has been dominant recently, as he's recorded a 1.85 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 39 innings across his last seven starts. The right-hander tentatively lines up to make his next start on the road against Minnesota on Wednesday.
