Lynn won't start Wednesday against the Blue Jays because the game was postponed due to rain, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The White Sox and Blue Jays will play a doubleheader Thursday to make up for Wednesday's game, and Lynn figures to pitch in one of the two contests. The 36-year-old righty has struggled heavily this season, accumulating a 6.72 ERA and 1.56 WHIP through 96 innings across 17 starts.

Lynn (5-8) earned the win Thursday, allowing five runs on eight hits and two walks over six innings against the Angels. He struck out seven.
EDGE Analysis
It was a rough start for Lynn, as he allowed five runs on three homers in his first three innings. However, he'd manage to settle in and hold Anaheim scoreless over his final three frames as the White Sox rallied for a 9-7 win. The victory is Lynn's first since May 26, as he's struggled to a 7.79 ERA over his last six outings. Overall, the veteran right-hander sports a 6.47 ERA with a 1.50 WHIP and 116:26 K:BB through 17 starts (96 innings) this season. Lynn is lined up to face the Blue Jays at home in his next outing.

Lynn did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk over 5.2 innings against Boston. He struck out seven.
EDGE Analysis
Lynn came up one out shy of recording his second consecutive quality start, lasting 5.2 innings and being pulled after allowing a two-run homer to Triston Casas and a double to Christian Arroyo back-to-back. After finishing with six or fewer strikeouts in five straight starts, Lynn has posted strikeout totals of 16 and 7 across his last two appearances. Though the 36-year-old has had a rollercoaster 2023 campaign, his strikeout upside (10+ K's three times) gives him a fantasy ceiling that few other starters can reach.

The White Sox reinstated Lynn from the bereavement list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Lynn was placed on the bereavement list Monday and now returns in time to make his next scheduled start Saturday against Boston. The 36-year-old righty holds a 6.51 ERA and 1.51 WHIP with 102 strikeouts across 84.1 frames this season. Jimmy Lambert was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move.

The White Sox list Lynn (personal) as their starting pitcher for Saturday's game against the Red Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field.
EDGE Analysis
Lynn was placed on the bereavement list Monday and remains off the White Sox's 26-man active roster for the time being, but he's poised to be reinstated before his next turn through the rotation comes up this weekend. The veteran right-hander dropped to 4-8 on the season in his most recent start in Seattle this past weekend, but he still delivered what might have been one of the finer outings from any pitcher in 2023. He racked up a career-high 16 strikeouts in seven innings and induced an astounding 33 swinging strikes on his 114 pitches.

The White Sox placed Lynn on the bereavement list Monday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lynn was deactivated one day after posting a career-best 16-strikeout game against the Mariners. Per MLB rules, players have to spent at least three days and no more than seven days on the bereavement list, so Lynn could be ready to pitch the next time his turn in the rotation comes up this weekend versus the Red Sox. Even after his stellar outing Sunday, Lynn still holds a 6.51 ERA and 1.51 WHIP over 15 starts this season.

Lynn (4-8) allowed three runs on four hits and two walks over seven-plus innings Sunday, striking out 16 and taking a loss against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Lynn turned in his most impressive outing of the year, striking out 16 batters, the most of any pitcher in a single game this season, but still took his third straight loss. He forced an unbelievable 33 whiffs on 114 pitches while recording his third double-digit strikeout performance of the year. The veteran righty lowered his ERA to 6.51 with a 102:33 K:BB through 84.1 frames this season. Lynn's next outing is currently lined up to be at home against Boston.

Lynn (4-7) allowed five runs (four earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings, taking the loss Tuesday versus the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
The Dodgers did their damage early, as Will Smith and David Peralta each took Lynn deep in the first inning. It's another stumble in a season full of them for Lynn -- he's allowed at least four runs in nine of his 14 starts. He's pitched to an ugly 6.75 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 86:31 K:BB over 77.1 innings this season. Lynn's projected for a road start in Seattle this weekend.

Lynn allowed five runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out four batters over five innings in the first game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Yankees. He did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Half of the eight hits Lynn allowed in the outing went for extra bases, including a fourth-inning homer off the bat of Willie Calhoun. This was the fifth time in 13 starts the right-hander has given up at least five runs, which has resulted in an unsightly 6.72 ERA. Lynn had appeared to be putting things together during a three-start stretch between May 16 and May 26 during which he went 3-0 with a 1.89 ERA and 1.11 WHIP over 19 innings, but he's since regressed by allowing 13 runs over nine frames in his past two outings. The veteran had finished a season with an ERA over 4.00 just once over 11 big-league campaigns coming into 2023, but it would take a drastic turnaround him for to get below that mark over the remainder of the current season.

Lynn won't start Wednesday's against the Yankees after the game was postponed due to poor air quality in New York on account of smoke.
EDGE Analysis
Lynn will instead get the ball for the first half of Thursday's doubleheader in The Bronx, assuming the hazardous air from Canadian wildfires dissipates to the point where both games can be played. The 36-year-old righty gave up eight earned runs on eight hits, two walks and two hit-by-pitches in his last turn through the White Sox rotation May 31 versus the Angels as his season ERA climbed to 6.55.
