John Danks picked up a win after allowing three runs in six innings Thursday against the Indians.

Danks no longer possesses the upside to be one of the AL's better lefties, but he's looking pretty solid in his first full year back from shoulder surgery. He allowed six hits, walked two and struck out four tonight.

John Danks allowed three runs (one earned) in 6 1/3 innings in Wednesday's start against the Reds.

Danks allowed four hits, walked one, and struck out five. His Cactus League ERA lowered to 2.96. He finally got his control problems solved, at least for one start. Overall, he has walked nine in 24 1/3 innings.

John Danks was roughed up in Friday's loss to the Cubs, allowing four runs on six hits over his five innings of work.

The 28-year-old lefty fanned a pair without walking a batter on the afternoon. All of the damage came in a four-run fourth inning, highlighted by a three-run blast from Luis Valbuena. Even with the rough day, he still owns a 3.50 ERA on the spring season, but his 8/8 K/BB ratio isn't desirable.

John Danks struggled a bit in Sunday's Cactus League outing against the Rangers, surrendering three runs on seven hits over five frames.

The veteran southpaw walked three and struck out three. He now owns a 2.08 ERA on the spring, but has posted a troubling 6/8 K/BB ratio over 13 innings of work. He'll take the ball every fifth day in the White Sox rotation, but his fantasy upside is limited.

John Danks blanked the Rangers for five innings in Tuesday's start.

Danks allowed four hits and three walks, but was able to dance his way out of danger. The lefty hasn't been much help out of the rotation over the last two seasons due to injuries, but recently expressed satisfaction with his progress in spring training. The White Sox could certainly use a rebound season from Danks in the middle of their rotation.

John Danks was clocked at 90-91 mph during his three scoreless innings in his Cactus League debut Thursday.

It's a tick harder than what he was throwing last season, when his velocity dipped to a career-low 89.3 mph, according to FanGraphs. Danks was also pleased with his cutter, which is his best pitch when he's right. "It's just strengthening, being able to get my arm where it needs to be and have enough behind [the cutter] to spin it right and make it move,'' Danks said. "Last year, I had trouble spinning it, and it was backing up on me and getting hit. This year, I'm able to drive the ball where I want, and that was proved by being able to throw it to both sides of the plate with the sharp break on it.'' Now one and a half years removed from shoulder surgery, Danks is a bounce-back candidate after last season's 4.75 ERA.

John Danks pitched three scoreless innings in Thursday's start against the Mariners.

Danks looked solid in his Cactus League debut, allowing only one hit while walking two and striking out two. The lefty has dealt with shoulder problems in each of the last two seasons and is looking to rediscover the success he had from 2008-10.

John Danks said Saturday that he currently feels great, and is not concerned about his velocity at this point in spring camp.

Once he gets his arm strength back up, the velocity should come with it. More important in his mind, is making sure his cutter is sharp again, as it's a major weapon for him when he's going right.

John Danks declared Saturday that he's healthy and that the ball is coming out of his hand much better than it did a season ago.

The 29-year-old southpaw feels rejuvenated and is locked into a spot in the White Sox starting rotation. For a three-year stretch from 2008-2010 he did own a 3.61 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 6.95 K/9, so he has displayed the skills before, however with the White Sox anemic offense working behind him his outlook for victories doesn't look good.

Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports says the White Sox "would love to offload" John Danks' contract.

But Passan then notes that they're unlikely to find any takers. Danks posted a 4.75 ERA and 89/27 K/BB ratio in 138 1/3 innings this year for Chicago after returning from left shoulder surgery in late May. He is owed $14.25 million per season through the 2016 campaign. The White Sox are expected to unload a starter -- possibly Chris Sale -- at some point this winter.

John Danks will likely be shut down for the rest of the season.

Danks is healthy, but the White Sox would prefer to give him an early start on his offseason. The southpaw made it back from shoulder surgery in late May and ended up posting a 4.75 ERA and 89/27 K/BB ratio over 138 1/3 innings. Perhaps he'll gain more strength in the shoulder in time, but he's off the mixed league radar entering 2014.

John Danks allowed four runs, including three home runs, over 5 1/3 innings in a loss to the Orioles on Friday.

Danks has now allowed 26 homers through 20 starts this season. The southpaw gave up seven hits and a walk in all, dropping to 4-12 with a 4.45 ERA on the year. His job doesn't get any easier when he faces the Tigers on Wednesday.

Danks struck out five and walked one. He's strung together a pair of strong outings after hurling eight scoreless innings Tuesday against the Royals.

John Danks tossed eight scoreless innings Tuesday as the White Sox defeated the Royals 2-0.

Danks scattered seven hits -- six of them singles -- and issued just one walk. Addison Reed closed the game with a scoreless ninth inning to preserve the shoutout and earn his 32nd save.

John Danks was tagged for five runs on seven hits over seven innings Friday in a loss to the Braves.

He struck out four, walked zero and coughed up two homers. Danks posted a 33/6 K/BB rate in 46 2/3 innings over his last seven starts, prompting Chicago manager Robin Ventura to name him starter for the club's first game of the second half. The former ace wasn't up to the task against a strong Braves offense and fell to 2-7 with a 4.52 ERA.
