Danks (9-10) was hit hard Wednesday, coughing up seven runs on 11 hits with a walk and three strikeouts over 4.2 innings against the Twins. Five of the seven hits Danks allowed went for extra bases. The lefty's season is trending in the wrong direction. After a solid June (3.41 ERA), Danks was hit hard in July (5.15) and was even worse in August (6.75). He'll try to turn his season around Tuesday versus the A's.

Danks made a quality start against Cleveland on Thursday, allowing two runs and five hits in six innings. He walked two and struck out five, tossing 101 pitches. Danks got off to an ominous start, surrendering a leadoff triple to Michael Bourn, who scored on a RBI groundout. The veteran lefty settled down from there though, giving up just one more run until he was pulled in the seventh inning. Other than Thursday's start, Danks has really struggled since the middle of July though, posting a 7.98 ERA in his previous 38.1 inning. If you need him for innings or are in a super deep league, he'll get the Twins on the road in his next start.

Danks allowed three runs on six hits, walking three and striking out four over five-plus innings but was left with a no-decision in the White Sox 4-3 loss to the Yankees on Friday night. It wasn't exactly a dominating performance, but it was at least somewhat encouraging. He went through a stretch of five starts where he allowed 28 earned runs over 27.1 innings, but has looked a bit better in his last two. He remains a risky play for his next start against the Indians in Cleveland.

Danks pitched just 4.2 innings, allowing nine runs on eight hits (including four home runs) and five walks while striking out five batters in picking up his seventh loss (9-7) of the year in Tuesday's loss to the Rangers. Danks has been mired in a terrible slump of late. He has allowed 24 runs in his last four starts (spanning 23 innings) and has seen his ERA jump from 3.99 to 4.93 in the process. Couple that with an ugly 1.47 WHIP and 99:55 K:BB ratio and Danks is hard pitcher to trust these days. He will look to turn it around in his next start, which is set for Sunday on the road against the Mariners.

FOX Sports' Jon Morosi reports the Marlins and White Sox have discussed a possible trade involving John Danks. The Marlins are in a difficult position, stuck somewhere between a buyer and a seller. With their recent winning streak, though, it appears they've become buyers. Danks is signed through 2016, so any team taking him on would also have concerns about the $28.5 million he's owed over the duration of his deal.

Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News reports the Yankees aren't interested in the $28.5 million John Danks will make in the 2015 and 2016 seasons. Danks will make $14.5 million in each of the next two seasons before becoming a free agent, and the Yankees aren't wild about taking on that kind of salary. It appears the White Sox would need to be willing to eat some of that salary, and it's unclear whether they'd be willing to do that at this point. CBS Sports' Jon Heyman has reported the Yankees' continued interest in the left-hander in recent days.

According to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports, the Yankees remain interested in White Sox hurler John Danks. The idea to acquire Ian Kennedy from the Padres seems to be losing steam, which makes Danks among the most likely trade targets for the Yankees to acquire. The veteran southpaw is 9-6 on the season with a 4.40 ERA and 1.39 WHIP.

John Danks picked up his ninth victory of the season on Friday, limiting the Twins to four runs on six hits over seven innings of work. Danks punched out five on the night without walking a batter. Staked to a big early lead, Danks was in cruise control most of the night, throwing plenty of strikes and giving the White Sox bullpen a bit of a rest. He'll bring a 4.40 ERA and 1.39 WHIP into Thursday's matchup against the Tigers in Detroit.

CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that the Yankees have checked in with the White Sox about the availability of left-hander John Danks. There's nothing to indicate that the two sides are close to a deal, but Yankees general manager Brian Cashman hasn't made any secret about his desire to add starting pitching. Danks owns a 4.35 ERA and 87/46 K/BB ratio over 124 innings this season, so he's not quite the pitcher he once was. There's still around $34 million remaining on his contract, which runs through 2016. He has a six-team no-trade list, but it's unclear if the Yankees are on it.

John Danks allowed seven runs over 4 1/3 innings, but took a no-decision as the White Sox lost 11-7 on Sunday. Danks has been prone to this type of blow-up outing, but had looked better as of late, entering Sunday's start with a 2.73 ERA over his previous four outings. The Astros were able to bang out 12 hits, including home runs by Matt Dominguez and Jose Altuve. Danks did not issue a walk and struck out four as he watched his ERA balloon to 4.35. He'll try to bounce back against the Twins on the road on Friday.
