Cueto (illness) is not starting Sunday against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
He won't end up making a start this weekend after getting scratched from his scheduled start Saturday. Cueto is still dealing with dizziness, but he was in the clubhouse Sunday and is feeling better than he was Saturday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports. Vince Velasquez is starting a bullpen game Sunday.

Cueto was scratched from his scheduled start Saturday against the Tigers due to illness, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cueto's absence complicates an already difficult starting pitching situation for the White Sox. Michael Kopech hit the injured list earlier Saturday with shoulder inflammation, with Davis Martin getting called up in his place. Martin will take Cueto's scheduled Saturday start, but that leaves Kopech's scheduled turn Sunday unfilled. If Cueto's illness is a minor one, it's possible he's pushed back just one day, but it's also possible he misses an entire turn in the rotation, forcing the White Sox to call up another arm or go with a bullpen game.

Cueto (7-8) gave up five earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out three over 4.2 innings to take the loss in a 10-3 defeat against the Athletics on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Cueto got off to a decent start and came into the fifth inning having only given up one run, but his appearance quickly unraveled from there. He allowed three straight hits to make it a 5-2 game for the Athletics. Cueto's defense didn't do him any favors. He appeared to be out of the inning on a routine foul popup by Ramon Laureano, but Leury Garcia dropped the ball and Laureano took advantage by hitting a two-run home run. Cueto now has a losing record on the year despite 2022 being his best season since 2016. He will look to bounce back in his next expected start at Detroit.

Cueto (7-7) allowed one run on five hits, three walks and a hit batsman with three strikeouts in six innings, taking the loss Tuesday versus the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Cueto was solid Tuesday, but the one run he allowed in the fourth inning sent him to the loss when the White Sox failed to score. This was the fourth time in five starts he's limited an opponent to one earned run or fewer. The righty now has a 2.87 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 85:30 K:BB through 135 innings across 21 appearances (20 starts). He's projected for a more favorable road start in Oakland this weekend.

Cueto (7-6) allowed one earned run on six hits and no walks while striking out five across 5.1 innings to earn the win Thursday against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Cueto held the Royals in check, and his only earned run came in the third inning when he allowed consecutive singles to open the frame. It was a bounceback effort for Cueto -- he allowed seven earned runs his last time out -- and he has now allowed two or fewer earned runs in eight of his last 11 starts. Cueto has turned in a vintage season, maintaining a 2.93 ERA with an 82:27 K:BB across 129 frames.

Cueto (6-6) took the loss to the Diamondbacks on Friday, allowing seven runs on five hits while striking out four and walking two over five innings.
EDGE Analysis
Cueto was knocked around for seven runs in Friday's contest in his worst game of the season. The righty was on a streak of 10 quality starts until Friday's clunker. He was burned for two home runs, a two-RBI double and another run on a sac fly. Cueto's still impressive ERA moved from 2.58 to 2.98.

Cueto (6-5) earned the win Saturday, allowing zero runs on five hits and one walk over 8.2 innings against the Guardians. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
Cueto allowed just one extra-base hit, in the form of a double from outfielder Oscar Gonzalez, during his dominant performance. The righty has been particularly effective recently with a 1.84 ERA in 58.2 innings over his last eight games, pitching eight innings or more four times and allowing zero homers seven times during that span. The 36-year-old veteran has been awesome on the road this season with a 1.81 ERA in 59.2 innings compared to a 3.36 ERA in 59 innings at home.

Cueto (5-5) earned the win Monday, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk over eight innings against Houston. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran righty held the Astros in check Monday to earn his fifth win of the season and ninth straight quality start. His 2.78 ERA this season has been a welcome surprise for Chicago as, if it holds, it will be the first time that he has finished a season with an ERA below 4.00 in a full season since 2016. Cueto will look to keep things rolling in his next scheduled start against Cleveland this weekend.

Cueto pitched six innings, surrendering three runs (two earned) on nine hits and a walk while striking out four in Wednesday's loss to the Royals. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Cueto was not his sharpest Wednesday, allowing the Royals to reach base 10 times, but he was able to hang in there for a quality start. The right-hander allowed one run in the bottom of the third before two more runs came around to score in the sixth frame. Cueto has now produced eight straight quality starts, though he has allowed 20 hits over 14 innings in his last two starts. He now owns a 2.91 ERA and 1.22 WHIP with 68 strikeouts over 102 frames in 16 outings this season.

Cueto (4-5) took the loss during Thursday's 3-2 defeat at the hands of the White Sox, allowing three runs on 11 hits with four strikeouts in eight innings.
EDGE Analysis
Cueto kept the ball in the zone all game with 76 of 106 pitches going for strikes and issued zero walks for the third time in 15 turns, though the 11 hits are the most the 36-year-old has surrendered. Still, he induced an impressive 12 swinging strikes and was only done in by a rough seventh inning that featured two runs and four singles with two failing to leave the infield. Despite the loss, Cueto still features a 2.91 ERA and 1.19 WHIP and lines up to face off against Kansas City midweek.
