Chicago White Sox

Jonathan Cannon struggled mightily in Monday's 7-0 loss to the Twins, surrendering six earned runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out five over just 3.2 innings.

Fantasy Impact: This performance inflated his ERA to an unsettling 7.27 and WHIP to 1.62 through his first two starts of the season. Fantasy managers should be wary of starting him until he shows signs of real improvement.

Fantasy Impact: Vaughn is back after receiving Sunday’s contest off for rest reasons, batting fifth and starting at first base against the Twins Monday.

Nick Nastrini took the loss on Sunday against the Phillies, allowing six runs (five earned) on six hits across three innings with three strikeouts and five walks.

Fantasy Impact: Nastrini was hit hard all afternoon, while also walking five hitters. He is scheduled to face the Rays next.

Michael Soroka struggled mightily in Saturday's 9-5 loss to the Phillies.

Fantasy Impact: He allowed five earned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out only two over 4 2/3 innings. This performance continues a troubling trend for Soroka, whose season ERA ballooned to 7.50 with a WHIP of 1.79 across five starts. His strikeout rate remains anemic at 4.5 K/9, and a FIP of 6.97 suggests his struggles are not solely due to bad luck. Fantasy managers should be wary of relying on Soroka in any format given his current form, as both his lack of strikeouts and high rate of runs allowed severely limit his upside.

Garrett Crochet endured a rough outing, surrendering seven earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three over three innings in Friday's 7-0 loss to the Phillies.

Fantasy Impact: This performance significantly inflates his ERA, which was already teetering above the league average. Despite a strong start to the season with a commendable WHIP and an impressive strikeout rate, Crochet's latest start raises concerns about his consistency and ability to handle pressure situations. His high K/9 rate continues to be a silver lining for fantasy managers, but this blowup highlights the volatility in relying on him as a consistent starter. Moving forward, fantasy managers should tread cautiously, considering matchups and perhaps relegating Crochet to a streamer rather than a mainstay in rotations.

Erick Fedde delivered a solid outing, allowing no earned runs on three hits and three walks while striking out five over 5.2 innings in Wednesday's 2-1 win against the Royals.

Fantasy Impact: This performance marked a significant improvement for Fedde, who entered the game with a concerning 4.30 ERA and 1.43 WHIP from his first three starts of the season. His ability to keep runs off the board in this outing should provide a slight boost to his fantasy value, especially in leagues where ERA and WHIP are critical factors.

Gavin Sheets went 1-for-3 with a home run and an RBI in the White Sox's narrow victory over the Royals.

Fantasy Impact: His solo shot contributed crucially to the team's win, showcasing his potential to deliver in key moments. With this performance, Sheets continues to build on a solid start to the season, now boasting a .250 average and a .915 OPS through 14 games. His power has been evident with three homers and four doubles, indicating potential for significant RBI totals if he maintains this pace. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Sheets for consistent power contributions, though his high strikeout rate could be a concern.

Fantasy Impact: Colas was recalled for just one game before being sent back down. The White Sox will likely recall another position player on Friday.

Despite a solid performance where he fanned five over 2.1 innings, Tanner Banks couldn't steer the Chicago White Sox clear of a 4-0 defeat at the hands of the Cleveland Guardians.

Fantasy Impact: Banks, who threw 43 pitches and allowed just two hits and one earned run, continues to showcase his strikeout capabilities, maintaining an impressive 16.6 K/9 rate that fantasy managers have come to covet. His ERA slightly ticked up to 2.08, but with a WHIP standing strong at 0.92, Banks is emerging as an asset in leagues that reward pitching efficiency and strikeouts. As the season progresses, if he maintains these metrics, don't be surprised to see him climb the ranks in fantasy relevance.

Fantasy Impact: Lee didn't start Sunday's series finale with the Royals but went 0-for-1 in a pinch-hitting appearance in his team's 5-3 loss. Lee is 3-for-9 with a homer on the young season.
