Lynn (9-9) allowed an unearned run on four hits and a walk while striking out nine over five innings to earn the win Friday over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Lynn worked his pitch count up quickly, throwing 94 pitches (62 strikes) over his five frames, but it was solid work. He's pitched to a 2.00 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 22:4 K:BB over 18 innings across his three starts with the Dodgers, a vast improvement on his 5.88 ERA for the year. Lynn's next outing is projected to be a home start versus the Brewers next week.

Lynn (8-9) allowed one run on four hits and two walks over six innings Sunday, striking out six and earning a win over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Lynn faced little trouble while tossing a quality start Sunday. In two outings since being traded to the Dodgers, he's gone 2-0 with a 13:3 K:BB. He's also lowered his season ERA from 6.47 to 6.11 in the process. Lynn coughed up 17 earned runs in just 16.2 frames over his last three starts with the White Sox prior to the trade. His next appearance is lined up to be at home against the Rockies.

Lynn (7-9) allowed three runs on five hits and a walk while striking out seven over seven innings, earning the win Tuesday over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Lynn completed seven frames for the fourth time this year, earning himself a quality start in his Dodgers debut. He'd given up 20 runs (17 earned) over his last 16.2 innings with the White Sox prior to getting traded out west. Lynn is at a 6.32 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 151:46 K:BB through 126.2 innings over 22 starts this season. He's lined up for a road start in San Diego over the weekend.

Lynn will make his first start with the Dodgers on Tuesday versus the Athletics in Los Angeles, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though he'll be taking a 6.47 ERA and 1.46 WHIP into his Dodgers debut, Lynn could be worth activating in the majority of leagues with weekly lineups. After drawing the home matchup with one of baseball's worst teams, Lynn will tentatively line up for a second start next Sunday in San Diego. Even with the unsightly ERA and WHIP during his time with the White Sox, Lynn wasn't a total zero for fantasy mangers this season, as he's currently holding down a career-best 10.8 K/9 that's backed by a career-high 13.9 percent swinging-strike rate.

The White Sox traded Lynn to the Dodgers alongside Joe Kelly on Friday in exchange for Trayce Thompson (oblique), Nick Nastrini and Jordan Leasure, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lynn hasn't exactly been at his best this season, holding a 6.47 ERA and 1.46 WHIP through 119.2 frames. However, the Dodgers have developed a reputation for rejuvenating pitchers' careers, so it's not ridiculous to think Lynn could return to his old form with his new team.

The Dodgers are close to an agreement to acquire Lynn and Joe Kelly from the White Sox, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
There's no word yet on what the White Sox will be receiving in return, but it sounds like Lynn is willing to waive his no-trade clause. The veteran right-hander has posted an unsightly 6.47 ERA and 1.46 WHIP this season but also a 144:45 K:BB through 119.2 innings over 21 starts. Given the Dodgers' excellent reputation with pitching, the move could be just what Lynn needs to rehabilitate his fantasy value.

Lynn allowed seven runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Cubs on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Lynn has been tagged for 20 runs (17 earned) over 16.2 innings since the All-Star break, continuing a season that's had far more downs than ups. The 36-year-old right-hander was off to a decent start aside from a difficult second inning, but he completely unraveled as the Cubs rallied for six runs -- five charged to him -- in the fifth. Lynn is now at a 6.47 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 144:45 K:BB through 119.2 innings over 21 starts. He remains a potential trade target, but it's unclear if any interest will turn into an offer for a pitcher enduring his worst major-league season. If he remains with the White Sox, Lynn is tentatively scheduled for a road start versus the Rangers next week.

Lynn (6-9) yielded nine runs (six earned) on eight hits and three walks over 6.2 innings Friday, striking out six and taking a loss against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Lynn was taken deep four times, including twice during Minnesota's five-run opening frame. He's allowed 16 home runs over his last nine starts while raising his season ERA to 6.18. Lynn has now been charged with at least four runs in 12 of his 20 starts this year. The veteran righty has been the subject of trade rumors, but he hasn't been of much use to fantasy managers outside of the occasional dominant performance. Lynn's next start is currently lined up to be at home against the Guardians.

Lynn (6-8) earned the win over Atlanta on Saturday, allowing four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out six batters over 5.1 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Lynn gave up a pair of homers and needed 97 pitches to get through 5.1 frames, but he got just enough run support to pick up the win. The right-hander was coming off a one-hit, 11-strikeout, seven-inning gem in his final start before the All-Star break, and while Saturday's performance was certainly not at that level, it's promising that he was at least able to depart with the lead against one of the league's top offenses. Lynn's season ERA remains unappealing at 6.06, but he's racked up at least six punchouts in each of his past six starts and has shown some improvement with a 4.75 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 53:11 K:BB across 36 innings over that stretch.

Lynn did not factor in the decision in Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader against Toronto, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out 11 batters over seven scoreless innings.
EDGE Analysis
Lynn and Toronto starter Jose Berrios dueled head-to-head for seven innings, with each pitcher allowing just one hit and no runs. Lynn was the more dominant of the pair, racking up an astounding 25 swinging strikes and tallying 11 punchouts. However, his ability to miss bats also played a part in driving up his pitch count to 102, and he had to exit with a no-decision to show for his efforts. Lynn has taken his fantasy managers on a roller-coaster ride this season -- he's tallied 10 or more strikeouts on four occasions (including a 16-punchout effort June 18) but has also given up five-plus runs six different times. Even with Thursday's sterling start, his overall ERA sits at an ugly 6.03, though that comes with the fifth-most strikeouts in the league (127).
