Anthony Kay - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Handed fifth loss Kay (7-5) took the loss Tuesday against the Yankees, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk over 5.1 innings. He struck out seven.

Impact The Bronx Bombers brought across three runs on two singles, two doubles and a wild pitch during the second inning, which was enough to saddle Kay with the loss. The left-hander has just one victory in his past eight appearances, though he's pitched well enough for a back-end starter during that span with a 4.10 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 34:14 K:BB. The major limiting factor is his workload, as he has failed to complete five frames in half of those outings and has done so 10 times in his 22 appearances this season.

Collects seventh win Kay (7-4) allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings to earn the win over the Rangers on Wednesday.

Impact Kay gave up a home run for the third straight outing, but he was otherwise good enough to get the win as the White Sox did enough damage against the Rangers' bullpen game. In July, Kay has allowed seven runs over 18.1 innings across four outings, but he's fallen short of the five-inning mark twice -- though one start was shortened by rain. For the season, he's at a 4.21 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 80:40 K:BB through 98.1 innings over 21 games (19 starts). Kay is also far and away the major-league leader in hit batsmen with 19, six more than the Mets' Nolan McLean in second place. Kay is projected to make his next start at home versus the Yankees.

No-decision against Toronto Kay did not factor into Friday's decision against the Blue Jays, allowing two runs on two hits and three walks while striking out five across four innings.

Impact It wasn't the cleanest outing from Kay, who was pulled following the fourth inning after tossing 83 pitches (47 strikes), though he did induce 11 whiffs. It's the second time he's failed to go beyond four innings over his last three starts, and he has a 4.24 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 76:38 K:BB across 93.1 innings this season. Kay is lined up to start next week on the road against the Rangers.

Serviceable in fourth loss Kay (6-4) took the loss Thursday against the Red Sox, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks in 5.1 innings. He struck out four.

Impact Kay got through three scoreless frames to begin the afternoon but fell apart a bit in the fourth inning, when he gave up both of his runs. Lack of control has been a recurring theme in the first half of the campaign for the 31-year-old left-hander amid his transition to the rotation, as he's issued multiple walks in 12 of his 19 outings while hitting at least one batter in 11 of them as well. Through 89.1 frames, Kay has a middling 4.23 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 71:35 K:BB.

Start shortened by rain delay Kay did not factor into the decision of Friday's extra-inning loss to the Guardians, when he allowed one run on one hit and two walks while striking out two across four innings.

Impact Kay kept the Guardians in check for most of Friday's start outside of an RBI single to Travis Bazzana in the third inning. Kay tossed only 48 pitches (27 strikes), but his outing was cut short by a two-hour rain delay, resulting in Jordan Hicks and the White Sox's bullpen taking over in the fifth inning. Kay will take a 4.39 ERA and 1.39 WHIP over 84 innings into his next start, which is slated for next week at home against the Red Sox.

Knocked around in loss Kay (6-3) took the loss Sunday against the Royals, allowing five runs (four earned) on seven hits while striking out two and walking one over 3.2 innings.

Impact Kay threw 44 of his 73 pitches for strikes and was unable to slow Kansas City's offense, allowing at least one run in every inning he pitched. The outing continued what has been an up-and-down season for the left-hander, who has alternated strong performances with difficult ones. After striking out eight over six scoreless innings in his previous start, Kay followed it up with Sunday's rough outing. He'll carry a 4.50 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 65:31 K:BB across 80 innings into a rematch against Cleveland, this time on the road.

Tosses six scoreless frames Monday Kay did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing three hits, two walks and a hit-by-pitch over six scoreless innings against the Guardians. He struck out eight.

Impact Kay pitched well enough to earn the win Monday, recording a season-high eight strikeouts and not allowing an earned run for the third time this season, though bullpen troubles ultimately cost the southpaw a victory. The outing marked a positive step in the right direction for the 31-year-old, who entered with an 8.31 ERA and 1.62 WHIP across 13 innings in his first three starts of June. He'll take a 6-2 record with a 4.24 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 63:30 K:BB across 76.1 innings (16 appearances) into his next outing, which is lined up for the weekend against the Royals.

Jumped early in second loss Kay (6-2) took the loss Wednesday against the Yankees, allowing four runs on six hits and one walk in four innings. He struck out two.

Impact The Yankees immediately got all over Kay on Wednesday, tagging the hurler for a pair of runs in the first and second innings each. The 31-year-old left-hander continues to struggle to find the plate consistently -- he's now issued at least one walk in all 15 of his appearances and also hit at least one batter in five of his last seven starts. Kay has an uninspiring 4.61 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 55:28 K:BB over 70.1 innings, but he's next set to face a Cleveland lineup that will be without superstar Jose Ramirez (hand).
