Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lance Lynn will take the ball Thursday as the White Sox play host to the visiting San Francisco Giants. Lynn was solid in his first outing of the season on March 31 against the Astros in Houston as he turned in 5 2/3 innings of two-run ball on three hits -- albeit with four walks -- against six strikeouts but did not factor into the decision. The veteran right-hander worked to a 3.99 ERA across 21 starts last season, the second-highest mark of his career as he'll enter Thursday's contest with a career 3.52 mark. The Giants have been a solid offense in the early going but their 31.7% K% as a team is the second-worst mark in baseball.

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lance Lynn will start for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic in the quarterfinals against Team Venezuela on Saturday. Lynn allowed just one run in five innings for a win on Monday against Team Canada, and he will be back on the bump this weekend in a much stiffer test. If the US comes out victorious, they will face off against Team Cuba in the semifinals on Sunday. Lynn had a late start in 2022 due to an injury and made only 21 starts in total. The 35-year-old right-hander got off to a rough start, but he finished strong with a 2.18 ERA and 62 strikeouts in his final 10 starts. He's looked good this spring as well, so his fantasy stock is rising ahead of upcoming drafts.

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lance Lynn was firing on all cylinders for Team USA In Monday's 12-1 World Baseball Classic win over Team Canada. Lynn pitched 5 innings, allowing one run on two hits (including a solo home run) and no walks with six strikeouts. The veteran had a decent 2022 season overall despite missing time recovering from right knee surgery, going 8-7 with a 3.99 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and 24.2% strikeout rate in 21 starts. While he has never been flashy, Lynn has been a consistent fantasy contributor throughout his career. Age is of course a concern, but Lynn's high floor makes him a solid middle-of-the-rotation option for fantasy managers.

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lance Lynn picked up the win Thursday after tossing 6 1/3 innings against the Cleveland Guardians, giving up two runs on six hits while striking out six and walking one. It was his fourth win in a row and seventh of the year across 18 starts. Lynn doesn't have the ERA fantasy managers were hoping for, posting a 3.99 mark, but his 1.07 WHIP and 113:16 strikeout-to-walk numbers are dominant. Fantasy managers should continue playing the 35-year-old veteran in every league.

The Chicago White Sox reinstated right-hander Lance Lynn from the bereavement list on Wednesday for his scheduled start against the Kansas City Royals. Left-hander Tanner Banks was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move. Lynn was away from the team for four days, but he'll return to the starting rotation on Wednesday. The 35-year-old overall numbers don't look great, but he's been much better in the second half of the season, going 2-2 with a 2.83 ERA (3.75 FIP) with a .210 batting average against and 48 strikeouts in 41 1/3 innings over seven starts. Lynn is 3-5 on the season with a 5.00 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 83 K's in 77 1/3 innings over 14 starts. He's a good play against the rebuilding Royals.

Lynn allowed two runs on five hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out seven batters. Over his last six starts, Lynn has walked just two batters against 40 strikeouts.

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lance Lynn (knee) will make his season debut on Monday against the Chicago White Sox. The team had originally announced that Lynn would be activated prior to Tuesday's game, but they've decided to bump him up a day. Dylan Cease is now starting on Tuesday and the team has yet to announce a starter for Wednesday's game. Lynn had surgery on his knee back in April and has been working his way back ever since. With his debut bumped up to Monday, he is now in line to make two starts this week as he'll face the Houston Astros on Sunday. The 35-year-old veteran figures to be on a bit of a pitch count over his first few starts, but he's still a strong fantasy option this week.

Chicago White Sox skipper Tony La Russa said that starting pitcher Lance Lynn (knee) felt good after his minor league rehab start on Wednesday night and is optimistic about being ready to return to the big-league roster. The White Sox will evaluate how Lynn feels in a day or two before making the final call on whether to activate him from the injured list. The 35-year-old right-hander has allowed 10 earned runs on 15 hits while walking two and striking out eight over 10 innings in his three rehab starts, but he's feeling ready to make his 2022 season debut for the Pale Hose. Lynn was an All-Star for the second time in his career last year, when he went 11-6 with a 2.69 ERA and 1.07 WHIP with 176 K's and 45 walks in 28 starts. He needs to be rostered everywhere.

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lance Lynn (knee) will make his third minor league rehab start for Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday and is scheduled to go five innings, according to skipper Tony La Russa. There's a chance that Lynn's rehab start on Wednesday will be his final one before he makes his 2022 season debut in the White Sox's starting rotation. June 13 against the Detroit Tigers would be the earliest possibility. The 35-year-old right-hander allowed three runs on four hits with one walk in four innings in his last start for Charlotte on Friday and built up to 62 pitches. After going 11-6 with a 2.69 ERA and 1.07 WHIP with 176 K's and 45 walks in 157 innings over 28 starts as an All-Star in 2021, Lynn should be stashed everywhere with his season debut around the corner.

The 35-year-old right-hander gave up two hits in three scoreless innings while walking none and striking out three.

He has yet to make his 2022 season debut in the big leagues after making the All-Star team for the second time in his career in 2021.

The 35-year-old right-hander isn't eligible to return from the 60-day injured list until June 6, but he should be able to return around that date, barring any setbacks on his rehab assignment. An All-Star for the second time for Chicago in 2021, Lynn has yet to make a major league start this year, but he should be stashed in all fantasy leagues with his season debut right around the corner.

On Tuesday, Chicago White Sox General Manager Rick Hahn stated that Lance Lynn (knee) would begin a rehab assignment later this week. This is a major development for Lynn, who underwent knee surgery in early April.

He made 28 starts and went 11-6 with a 2.69 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP.

Lynn has been out all year to this point after having surgery in early April to fix a slight tear in his right knee. The two-time All-Star is making an important step this week, and he could make his season debut in early June, barring any setbacks when he embarks on a minor league rehab assignment eventually. After posting a career-low 2.69 ERA and 1.07 WHIP over 28 starts in his first year in Chicago for his second All-Star appearance, Lynn should be universally rostered and stashed in fantasy leagues for the anticipation of his season debut at some point next month.

Lynn posted a 2.69 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and a 176:45 K: BB across 157 innings in 2022. Fantasy managers should continue to stash the right-hander as, barring a setback will return to action soon.

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lance Lynn (knee) is expected to make his 2022 debut in early June, according to White Sox general manager Rick Hahn. Lynn underwent knee surgery just before the season began and he has been rehabbing ever since. There had been some discussion of a late May return for the 34-year-old over the past few weeks, but that doesn't appear to be in the cards anymore. Lynn had a fantastic debut season with the Sox in 2021, going 11-6 with a 2.69 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP. We'll likely see him sent out on a rehab assignment at some point in the next few weeks.

The 34-year-old spoke to reporters on Wednesday and stated that he was "ahead of schedule." He also added that there was still a lot of work left to be done.

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lance Lynn (knee) has been diagnosed with a slight tear in his right knee tendon. He will undergo surgery to repair the tear this week. Following the surgery, he will be shut down for four weeks. Lynn will of course need to work his way back up to game form after he starts throwing again, which means the best case scenario for him would be a late May debut to the season. The 34-year-old should come crashing down draft boards in the coming days. Formerly a clear top-20 starting pitcher going into the year, he is now someone who you won't want to draft until the double-digit rounds.

The White Sox will know more on his status on Sunday. The right-hander allowed seven runs (four earned) and seven hits while striking out four and walking one before departing. Even if the 34-year-old's injury isn't all that serious, he could be in danger of missing a couple turns in the rotation with Opening Day less than a week away. Lynn was an All-Star for the second time in his career in his first season with the White Sox last year, going 11-6 with a 2.69 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, 176 K's and 45 walks in 28 starts over 157 innings pitched.
