Lynn (0-3) took the loss Monday, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks over five innings against Toronto. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
Lynn posted three scoreless frames before getting into trouble in the fourth. After retiring the first two batters of the frame, the veteran right-hander allowed five straight baserunners to reach, including a three-run homer by Cavan Biggio that gave the Blue Jays a 4-2 lead. Lynn has allowed multiple runs in each of his five starts this season and has gotten through six innings just once. He currently has a 7.52 ERA and a 1.78 WHIP, but his 32:13 K:BB through 26.1 innings is somewhat encouraging.

Lynn (0-2) took the loss in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Phillies, coughing up five runs on 10 hits and three walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out seven.
EDGE Analysis
All 10 hits were singles as Lynn got BABIP'd to death in an eventual 7-4 loss for the White Sox. The veteran right-hander tossed 71 of 107 pitches for strikes while generating 31 called or swinging strikes along the way, offering some hope that his 7.59 ERA will soon come down. Lynn will take a 28:10 K:BB through 21.1 innings into his next start, likely to come this weekend in Tampa Bay.

Lynn did not factor into the decision on Tuesday, allowing three runs on seven hits over six innings against the Twins. He struck out 10.
EDGE Analysis
The 35-year-old righty rebounded from giving up early home runs to Byron Buxton and Michael Taylor to finish with 10 strikeouts before being relieved in the seventh inning. Despite the struggles of the White Sox rotation, Lynn's performance offers hope for improvement. He has a 7.31 ERA and 21:7 K:BB over 16 innings and is tentatively scheduled to return to the mound this weekend against the Phillies.

White Sox pitching coach Ethan Katz said Lynn was dealing with cold symptoms during his rough outing Thursday against the Giants, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
A bug has been going around the clubhouse, and the White Sox sure looked sluggish in what was a 16-6 loss to San Francisco. Lynn surrendered eight of those runs -- all earned -- over just 4.1 innings of work. He's showing a 9.00 ERA through two starts this season.

Lynn (0-1) allowed eight earned runs on nine hits and three walks while striking out five across 4.1 innings to take the loss Thursday against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Lynn allowed multiple runs in three of the five innings he pitched, and he served up three homers in the disastrous outing. The only positive to be taken from the start is that he was throwing at nearly exactly his typical velocity, so it doesn't appear that he's dealing with any type of injury. Even though his first outing of the season was more successful, Lynn has walked seven batters across his first 10 frames of work in the new campaign.

Lynn yielded two runs on three hits and four walks across 5.2 innings in Friday's loss to Houston. He struck out six and did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran right worked five shutout frames before his day was ended by Kyle Tucker's two-run shot in the sixth. Lynn forced 16 whiffs on 96 total pitches (55 strikes). He worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the second inning but otherwise didn't have much trouble until serving up the homer. Lynn is expected to start at home against the Giants next week.

Lynn allowed two earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six across 4.2 innings in Saturday's Cactus League game against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Lynn took the mound for the first time since returning from the World Baseball Classic. He was hit around initially but closed the outing with three shutout innings while retiring 10 of the final 11 batters he faced. Lynn is expected to start Chicago's second game of the regular season Friday against the Astros, and he should be able to work fairly deep into the game after facing 21 batters in his spring training finale.

Lynn allowed one earned run on three hits and no walks while striking out four across three innings in Saturday's Cactus League matchup against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Lynn allowed three consecutive singles to begin the game, but he settled in from there and did not allow any additional baserunners during his outing. Though he faced a watered-down version of the Padres' lineup, it was still an encouraging opening start of spring training. Lynn will be looking to bounce back from a relatively disappointing 2022 campaign when he posted a 3.99 ERA and 1.13 WHIP across 121.2 frames.
