Giolito struck out eight batters in five innings Saturday against the Rangers but allowed four runs on six hits and three walks. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Giolito allowed two baserunners in both of the first two innings but retired the side in order in the third and fourth frame, carrying a 5-0 lead into the top of the fifth. It all unraveled from there, as he loaded the bases with none out before allowing a sacrifice fly and three-run homer. He was able to escape the inning with a narrow one-run lead, but his teammates in the bullpen were unable to stem the bleeding in a game they'd eventually lose 11-9. He's now had two shaky starts in his last three, as he'd previously allowed six runs against the Blue Jays in his final start in May, another outing in which he struck out eight. He'll face a tough task next week as he aims to reverse the slump, as he's expected to face the Astros in Houston on Friday.

Giolito (4-2) earned the win Sunday in Tampa Bay, striking out three in six innings while allowing five runs (two earned) on eight hits and two walks.

EDGE Analysis

Giolito held the Rays scoreless through the first four innings but struggled in the final two frames. In the fifth, he allowed a homer to Isaac Paredes, and in the sixth, following an error, allowed a two-out two-run homer to Mike Zunino. It was the first time all season that he struck out fewer than five batters. The 27-year-old has allowed an alarming 10 homers in 48.1 innings this season across nine starts. His next start will likely be next weekend against Texas.

Giolito (3-2) allowed six earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out eight across 4.2 innings to take the loss Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Giolito surrendered a pair of home runs to Alejandro Kirk, which accounted for four of his six earned runs. He allowed an additional three extra-base hits and turned in his worst outing of the season. Though there weren't many positives, Giolito did induce 14 swinging strikes across 99 pitches, and he has struck out at least seven batters in six of his eight starts. Overall, he has a 3.61 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and a 59:17 K:BB across 42.1 frames on the campaign.

Giolito (3-1) earned the win Wednesday after he tossed six innings of one-run ball, allowing five hits and four walks while striking out seven versus the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Giolito surrendered his only run in the first inning after three straight reached with two outs in the frame, finishing his start with five scoreless innings. The right-hander logged his third quality start of the season while he also ended a four-game streak of giving up at least one home run. Since returning from the COVID-19 injured list May 18, he has given up three runs while striking out 14 over 11 frames in two outings. Giolito now owns a 2.63 ERA and 1.27 WHIP with 51 punchouts over 37.2 innings in seven starts this season.

Giolito registered a no-decision during Wednesday's 6-2 loss to Kansas City, allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks with seven strikeouts in five innings.

EDGE Analysis

Giolito struggled early, surrendering a combined six baserunners in the first two innings and a solo home run in the third, but the damage only amounted to two runs, and he departed with the score tied. The 27-year-old was making his first start since May 10 due to a brief stint on the COVID-19 injured list and the rust showed with Giolito tossing only 55 of 92 pitches for strikes with 10 of the swinging variety. He's yet to allow more than three runs in a game through six turns and will take a solid 2.84 ERA into a projected start against Boston early next week.

The White Sox reinstated Giolito (illness) from the COVID-19 injured list ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday against the Royals in Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

In order to clear room for Giolito on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster, the White Sox transferred right-hander Lance Lynn (knee) from the 10-day IL to the 60-day IL and optioned right-hander Davis Martin to Triple-A Charlotte. Giolito was on the COVID-19 IL for five days and hasn't pitched since May 10, so it's possible that he faces some light restrictions with his workload as he returns to the mound Wednesday.

Giolito (illness) rejoined the White Sox in Kansas City on Tuesday and is expected to come off the COVID-19 injured list to start Wednesday's game against the Royals, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

When asked Monday about his rotation plans for this week, manager Tony La Russa left the door open for Giolito to start one half of Tuesday's doubleheader, but the White Sox will instead opt to give the right-hander an additional day of rest before working him back into the mix. Since Giolito was first placed on the IL on Friday and didn't require an extended period to clear COVID-19-related protocols, he shouldn't face any major restrictions with his pitch count if he is in fact activated ahead of Wednesday's contest. Over his first five starts of the 2022 season, Giolito has posted a 2.70 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 37:9 K:BB across 26.2 innings.

Giolito could return from the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday or Wednesday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Giolito was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Friday, but it looks like he won't wind up requiring a long absence. He could be called on to pitch the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Royals or could get the ball Wednesday instead if he needs one more day to get up to speed.

Giolito was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Giolito began experiencing symptoms last week, but the White Sox are hoping the right-hander will be able to rejoin the team sometime next week, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports. It's possible the 27-year-old will miss a turn through the rotation, but it doesn't sound as though the team anticipates a lengthy absence. Giolito has posted a 2.70 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 26.2 innings over his first five starts in 2022.

Giolito (2-1) earned the win after striking out five in seven innings, allowing one run on six hits and a walk in a 4-1 victory Tuesday over Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Giolito cruised through the first six innings, holding Cleveland scoreless and inducing two double-play ground balls. The lone run against him came on a solo shot by Josh Naylor in the seventh. The righty was efficient, needing 91 pitches to finish seven frames in his best start of the season. He's allowed three runs or less in all five starts, resulting in a solid 2.70 ERA.
