Giolito (1-2) took the loss against the Rays on Sunday, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

Giolito was shaky early in his start. He surrendered three runs in the second inning, including a two-run blast from Luke Raley, and then allowed a solo shot to Harold Ramirez the following frame to give the Rays a 4-0 lead. Following the Ramirez home run, Giolito went on to retire 13 of the next 14 batters he faced and put up his longest start of season thus far. The 28-year-old now sits at a 4.50 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and a 28:6 K:BB over 28 innings. His strikeout numbers have taken a dip to start the year but he's also been limiting his walks. He's projected to face the Rays again in Chicago next weekend.

Giolito will start Sunday's game against the Rays, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lance Lynn was originally the probable starter for this contest, but Giolito will pitch the series finale against the Rays with Lynn now scheduled to start against Toronto on Monday. In his last start against the Twins on Tuesday, Giolito was sensational with six no-hit innings with seven strikeouts while picking up the victory.

Giolito (1-1) picked up the win in a 3-0 victory over the Phillies in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader, walking one batter over six no-hit, scoreless innings. He struck out seven.

EDGE Analysis

A Brandon Marsh double off Aaron Bummer in the eighth inning broke up the combined no-hitter, but that takes nothing away from a dazzling performance by Giolito. The right-hander fired 67 of 102 pitches for strikes and generated 30 called or swinging strikes as he delivered his second straight quality start. He appears to be putting his rough 2022 behind him. Giolito will take a 4.29 ERA and 23:4 K:BB through 21 innings into his next outing, likely to come early next week in Toronto.

Giolito (0-1) took the loss Wednesday against Minnesota, allowing one run off five hits over six innings while walking two batters and striking out seven.

EDGE Analysis

Aside from hitting Kyle Farmer in the face with a pitch, it was a solid outing for Giolito, though not a very efficient one -- it took him 108 pitches to get through six frames. His lone blemish came on a Michael Taylor bases-loaded groundout that ended up driving in a run. Giolito still might not have the prettiest statline to look at on the year, but Wednesday was certainly a nice bounce-back performance from his last start in Pittsburgh.

Giolito allowed seven runs on 12 hits over four innings during Friday's loss to Pittsburgh. He struck out three and did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

The White Sox's offense managed to continue battling back early, preventing Giolito from taking the loss. He got knocked around consistently all afternoon and gave up two homers, including a three-run blast by Bryan Reynolds in the fourth inning. Giolito has now given up nine runs in as many frames but has a solid 9:1 K:BB. He's lined up to take the mound in Minnesota next week.

Giolito allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits and a walk in five innings Saturday against the Astros, striking out six. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Giolito gave up two runs on four singles in the first frame but settled down after that, allowing just one unearned run on one hit and a walk in his final four innings. It wasn't enough to bring home a win, but it was a passable performance against the defending champions. His next start lines up for next week in Pittsburgh.

Giolito was sitting between 91 and 94 mph with his fastball in his Cactus League start Tuesday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

For much of Giolito's career, he's averaged around 94 mph with his fastball. That number dipped to 92.7 during a subpar 2022 campaign, so it's slightly concerning that he's struggled to ramp his velocity back up. On the other hand, he's racked up 15 strikeouts across only 9.1 frames while maintaining a respectable 3.86 ERA in Cactus League games this spring. Overall, Goilito will be hoping to bounce back from last season's 4.90 ERA and 1.44 WHIP, which he posted across 161.2 frames.

Giolito allowed one run (none earned) on three hits and two walks while striking out six across three innings in Cactus League action against the Cubs on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Giolito took the mound for the second time this spring, and he now has nine strikeouts across five innings of work. He's looking for a bounceback season after posting a disappointing 4.90 ERA in 2022. Per Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times, Giolito lost weight this season after intentionally bulking up ahead of the 2022 campaign. In addition, Van Schouwen noted that Giolito is a proponent of the newly implemented pitch clock, because he feels it helps him maintain a rhythm on the mound.

Giolito agreed to a one-year, $10.4 million contract with the White Sox on Friday to avoid arbitration, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Giolito entered 2022 with a 3.47 ERA across the previous three seasons, but he struggled last year with a 4.90 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 177:61 K:BB in 161.2 innings. Now entering his final season before hitting free agency, the 28-year-old will look to bounce back in a contract year.

Giolito (11-9) allowed two runs on two hits, two walks and two hit batsmen while striking out four over seven innings, earning the win over the Twins on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander threw 61 of 91 pitches for strikes in his final start of the season. He gave up the opening run on a sacrifice fly in the second inning and also yielded an RBI single in the sixth. Giolito finished with three quality starts in his last six outings, and this win snapped his six-start streak without a victory. He posted a 4.90 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 177:61 K:BB through 161.2 innings across 30 starts overall, taking a noticeable step back from the level he displayed over the three previous seasons.
