Lynn (2-1) returned from the IL to go five innings Saturday, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks with two strikeouts to earn the win over Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Making his first start in over two weeks, Lynn limited the damage to two runs in the fourth and one in the fifth before being pulled at only 68 pitches. He had gone for over 90 pitches in each of his first three starts, so manager Tony La Russa was most likely being cautious with his workload in Lynn's first start back from injury.

Lynn (back) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start against Cleveland on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Lynn had been on the injured list due to a strained right trapezius since April 18, but he'll return to the mound at home against Cleveland on Saturday. The right-hander made three starts prior to his injury and posted a 0.92 ERA and 0.92 WHIP with 27 strikeouts in 19.2 innings.

Lynn (back) will start Saturday's game against Cleveland, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
He was originally slated to return Friday, but apparently the White Sox want to keep Dallas Keuchel on normal rest, so it will be a Saturday activation for Lynn. He has a 0.92 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 27 strikeouts in 19.2 innings over three starts.

Lynn (back) will throw several bullpens next week and hopes to return to game action Friday against Cleveland, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lynn has been on the 10-day injured list with a strained right trapezius since April 18, and he reportedly could have been available to return after spending the minimum amount of time on the IL. However, the White Sox have had postponements and scheduled days off recently, so Lynn will have additional time to fully heal before he returns to game action.

Lynn (trapezius strain) could return off the injured list next week against Detroit or Cleveland, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lynn is expected to miss the minimum amount of time on the 10-day IL, which puts him on track for Tuesday against the Tigers. However, postponements (Wednesday) and off-days (Thursday and Monday) mean the White Sox do not need to rush Lynn back from the injury.

Manager Tony La Russa said Tuesday that Lynn (trapezius strain) is expected to return after spending the minimum 10 days on the injured list, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
This would suggest that Lynn will start April 27 at home against the Tigers. La Russa said the evaluation of Lynn on Tuesday was positive.

The White Sox placed Lynn on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a strained right trapezius.
EDGE Analysis
Lynn wasn't known to be nursing an injury coming out of his six-inning, 10-strikeout gem Thursday against Cleveland, so he may have tweaked a back muscle during a between-starts bullpen session. In any case, Lynn will have to miss at least one turn through the rotation, which was scheduled to come in Cleveland on Wednesday. The White Sox have yet to name a spot starter to fill in for Lynn.

Lynn (1-1) allowed two runs on five hits while striking out 10 across six innings Thursday against Cleveland. He was tagged with the loss.
EDGE Analysis
Lynn recorded a quality start and fanned double-digit batters for the second straight game this season, but that wasn't enough to end with a better outcome in what was a strong outing for the veteran right-hander. Lynn, who has allowed only two earned runs across 19.2 innings to begin the season, will try to keep it going in his next scheduled start, where he will face Cleveland once again, but this time on the road, on April 20.

Lynn (1-0) allowed five hits and struck out 11 without walking a batter in a complete game shutout win over the Kansas City on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Lynn was perfect through four innings and threw 111 pitches in his second start of the season. He had been inefficient throughout spring training and into his first regular-season start, so in that sense, this start came out of the blue. However, Lynn has been a workhorse throughout his career, so a start like this is not surprising. He'll next take the ball Wednesday at home against Cleveland.

Lynn was charged with two unearned runs on six hits over 4.2 innings in a no-decision against the Angels on Saturday. He struck out six and issued two walks.
EDGE Analysis
A ball that looked like a routine pop-up in the third caromed off center fielder Luis Robert's head, allowing David Fletcher to score and extending the inning. Lynn was effective otherwise, but inefficient; he could not complete five innings despite throwing 99 pitches. It was probably not the way he envisioned his White Sox debut, but there will be better days ahead, likely beginning next week at home against Kansas City.
