Jonathan Cannon

Jonathan Cannon had another rough outing, allowing four earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out five over five innings in Saturday's narrow 8-7 victory over the Rays.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the White Sox pulling off the win, Cannon's performance did little to reassure fantasy managers. His season ERA now balloons to 7.24 with a WHIP of 1.76, numbers that scream caution in all fantasy formats. His decent strikeout rate of 8.6 K/9 continues to be overshadowed by his overall ineffectiveness and high BABIP of .409, indicating he's been somewhat unlucky but also hinting at underlying issues. Fantasy managers should consider other more reliable options, as Cannon's current form presents too much risk for little reward.

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.

The White Sox have announced Jonathan Cannon as their starter for Monday’s game with the Twins.

Fantasy Impact

Cannon made his major-league debut Wednesday against Kansas City. Fantasy managers should expect Cannon to eventually be replaced by Mike Clevinger in the rotation.
