Vasil (5-3) earned the win Wednesday over the Phillies, allowing three hits while striking out three over four scoreless innings.
EDGE Analysis
Vasil managed to keep a high-powered Phillies offense at bay before the White Sox rallied for seven runs in the seventh inning en route to a 9-3 victory. The 25-year-old Vasil has been excellent of late, posting a 0.61 ERA over his last seven appearances (14.2 innings). Overall, his ERA sits at an impressive 2.35 with a 1.22 WHIP and 51:36 K:BB across 69 innings in his rookie campaign.

Vasil picked up the save Sunday against the Giants, allowing one walk and no hits with one strikeout over 1.2 scoreless innings.
EDGE Analysis
Vasil has been a multi-inning option for the White Sox recently, going at least three innings in each of his last seven appearances (three starts). However, he got the ball in a high-leverage scenario Sunday, taking over for Tyler Gilbert in the eighth inning with one out and the bases loaded. Vasil induced a double play to escape from the jam and then shut the door on the Giants in the ninth frame for his second save of the campaign. Vasil's been one of the White Sox's most reliable arms this season, holding a 2.73 ERA over 56 innings.

Vasil (3-3) took the loss Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and no walks while striking out one in 5.1 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Vasil was very efficient out of the bullpen after the White Sox went with an opener. He needed just 54 pitches to complete five scoreless innings but was pulled in the seventh after the Diamondbacks put two on with one out, leading to a three-run frame. It was a career-long effort from Vasil, who's now pitched at least three innings in seven straight outings. Vasil lowered his ERA to a 2.82 across 54.1 innings and has been effective as a long reliver for the majority of the season.

Vasil is a candidate to serve as a bulk reliever behind opening pitcher Jordan Leasure in Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Jack Ankony of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After opening the season in the White Sox bullpen, Vasil has started in each of his last three appearances, covering 11 innings and allowing eight earned runs on 14 hits and six walks while striking out 11. The rookie right-hander is expected to move back into a more traditional relief role once Jonathan Cannon (back) returns from the injured list, but Vasil will likely be called upon to cover multiple innings out of the bullpen Tuesday once Leasure exits the contest. Tyler Alexander will also be available Tuesday on three days' rest and could be another candidate to cover multiple frames in relief, if needed.

Vasil did not factor into the decision in Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, allowing six runs on seven hits and one walk with six strikeouts over 3.2 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Vasil opened with two scoreless innings but was tagged for six runs before failing to escape the fourth. He recorded a season-high six strikeouts but also surrendered two home runs for the first time in 21 appearances. On the season, the rookie owns a 2.94 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and a 38:27 K:BB across 49 innings. It has yet to be confirmed whether he will make another start or return to his long relief role.

Vasil picked up a no-decision after throwing four shutout innings, allowing two hits and four walks while striking out four during Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Walks were an issue for Vasil, but he battled through it to post four zeros on the scoreboard. Four innings was his longest outing on the season, and he sports a very solid 1.99 ERA in 45.1 innings, but the 25-year-old seems destined to head back to the bullpen with the White Sox rotation suddenly getting very crowded with the addition of Aaron Civale via trade Friday.

Vasil is slated to start Saturday's game against the Rangers in Arlington.
EDGE Analysis
Vasil will make his second straight start and his third turn in a row through the rotation after making a bulk-relief appearance June 4, but he could soon be headed back to the bullpen. With the acquisition of Aaron Civale on Friday, the White Sox now have six starters, and the rotation will become more crowded once Jonathan Cannon (back) returns from the injured list. Vasil has yet to work more than four innings in an appearance this season, but he's recorded between nine and 11 outs in each of his last four outings.

Vasil did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 7-5 loss to the Royals, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk with one strikeout over 3.1 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Vasil threw 33 of 50 pitches for strikes but managed just two whiffs in his first major-league start. The rookie has yet to allow more than two earned runs in any of his 19 outings this season and now sports a 2.18 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 28:22 K:BB across 41.1 innings. If he gets another turn in the rotation, it would likely come on the road against the Rangers next weekend.

Vasil will start Sunday against the Royals, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vasil has worked multiple innings as a reliever throughout the season, and has thrown 9.2 consecutive scoreless frames across his last three outings. He's also maintained an impressive 10:2 K:BB in that span, so he should be able to work relatively deep into Sunday's matchup, if he remains effective.

Vasil didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against Detroit, allowing two hits and no walks with three strikeouts over 3.2 scoreless innings.
EDGE Analysis
Vasil followed opener Jared Shuster, who allowed four runs in his lone inning of work, and steadied the ship for the White Sox. The outing marked Vasil's third consecutive scoreless appearance, each of which lasted at least three innings. The 25-year-old rookie has been great to start 2025, owning a 1.89 ERA across 37 innings, though he could improve upon his 27:21 K:BB.
