Falls to Cleveland Cease (4-4) took the loss Thursday, allowing four runs on nine hits and two walks over 5.2 innings against Cleveland. He struck out five.

Impact Cease's final line certainly could've been uglier as he surrendered nine hits, including four for extra bases. Still, it was a tough outing for the 27-year-old right-hander after he allowed just two runs over his previous two starts (11 innings). Cease now sports a 4.15 ERA with a 1.34 WHIP and 143:49 K:BB across 22 starts (119.1 innings) this season.

Strikes out nine Cease allowed a run on three hits and two walks while striking out nine over six innings in a no-decision versus the Twins on Saturday.

Impact Cease pitched well enough to win, but Keynan Middleton and Gregory Santos couldn't preserve the lead in the seventh inning. This was Cease's first quality start in four July outings -- he's given up 10 runs over 22.1 innings in that span. The right-hander is now at a 4.04 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 138:47 K:BB through 113.2 innings over 21 starts this season. He's projected for a home start versus the Guardians next week.

Stymies Atlanta for fourth win Cease (4-3) earned the win Sunday, allowing a run on three hits and three walks over five innings against Atlanta. He struck out six.

Impact It was a strong bounce-back performance from Cease against a powerful Atlanta lineup after he allowed five runs on 11 hits to the Cardinals in his last start before the All-Star break. Overall, the 27-year-old right-hander has been solid of late, allowing two runs or fewer in six of his previous eight outings. Cease lowered his ERA to 4.18 with a 1.34 WHIP and 129:45 K:BB across 15 starts (81.1 innings) this season. He's tentatively lined up to face the Twins on the road in his next start.

Tagged with five runs Cease allowed five runs on 11 hits over six innings in Friday's win over St. Louis. He struck out eight and did not factor in the decision.

Impact Cease coughed up five runs in the first three innings but turned in three shutout frames to end his outing. He tossed 107 pitches and forced 17 whiffs. While his command has been shaky at times throughout the season, Cease has posted an impressive 23:3 K:BB over his last three starts. His ERA jumped to 4.30 alongside a 123:42 K:BB across 102.2 frames.

What we learned in MLB this week: Bryce Harper's power is missing

Logs no-decision Saturday Cease allowed three runs on six hits and three walks while striking out five batters over 5.1 innings in a no-decision against the White Sox on Saturday.

Impact Cease had struck out at least nine batters in three straight games coming into Saturday, but he punched out just five against Oakland. The right-hander entered the sixth inning with a one-run lead, but he was pulled after giving up a one-out triple followed by a double that tied the score. Cease logged his seventh straight no-decision, though he's pitched well with a 3.32 ERA and 55:17 K:BB over 38 innings during that span.

JULY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Strikes out 10 in quality start Cease did not factor in the decision against the Angels on Monday, allowing one run on five hits and no walks while striking out 10 batters over six innings.

Impact Cease racked up an impressive 17 swinging strikes en route to his second 10-punchout performance over his past three starts, but Angels starter Reid Detmers matched him in both whiffs and strikeouts, and neither hurler factored in the decision. For Cease, the outing was the culmination of a strong June during which he has allowed two or fewer runs in each of his five starts, compiling a 2.20 ERA and 42:10 K:BB across 28.2 frames over that stretch. That's a vast improvement over the 5.57 ERA and 31:14 K:BB over 32.1 innings he registered in May.

JUNE 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Fans nine in no-decision Cease did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over six innings against the Rangers. He struck out nine.

Impact Cease turned in another impressive outing Tuesday, marking his fourth straight appearance allowing two or fewer runs. Over that stretch, Cease owns a 2.38 ERA with a 32:10 K:BB and 15 hits allowed across 22.2 innings. Cease's nine strikeouts also moved him into a tie for the ninth most strikeouts in MLB. The White Sox ace is tentatively scheduled to make his next start during a three-game home series against Boston.

JUNE 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Disappointing end to strong outing Cease allowed two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out 10 batters over 5.1 innings in a no-decision against the Dodgers on Thursday.

Impact For five innings Cease looked every bit the pitcher who finished second in AL Cy Young voting last season, giving up just two hits while punching out out nine batters. However, the right-hander was lifted after giving up two singles around another strikeout in the sixth, and both runners came around to score when reliever Reynaldo Lopez surrendered a game-tying grand slam to Chris Taylor. That prevented Cease from getting the win, but he nonetheless continued his nice turnaround in June. Through three starts this month, Cease has posted a 2.16 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 23:8 K:BB over 16.2 frames.

JUNE 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Punches out seven Cease yielded one run on four hits and two walks over six frames in Friday's win over Miami. He struck out seven and did not factor in the decision.

Impact Cease rolled through four shutout frames before coughing up a solo homer in the fifth inning. The 27-year-old has been shaky all season but has allowed just two runs over 11.1 innings in his last two starts. He's given up three or fewer runs in five of his last six starts, posting a 2.94 ERA during that span. Cease is now sporting a 4.38 ERA and an 81:34 K:BB through 74 innings. He's projected to face the Dodgers on the road next week.

JUNE 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Stingy in no-decision Cease didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Tigers, allowing one run on two hits and three walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out six.

Impact The right-hander took a shutout into the sixth inning before Zach McKinstry tripled to lead off the frame and scored on a Cease slider that was nowhere near the plate and got away from catcher Yasmani Grandal -- part of a bizarre contest that saw all three runs in the game score on wild pitches. Cease exited after 99 pitches (62 strikes), coming just short of his sixth quality start of the year. He'll take a 4.63 ERA and 74:32 K:BB through 68 innings into his next outing, likely to come at home next weekend against the Marlins.

JUNE 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Mixed results Sunday Cease did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing four runs on four hits and four walks over four frames during a 6-5 loss against the Tigers in 10 innings. He struck out eig...

Impact Cease has given up a home run in seven of his past eight appearances and sports a 6.47 ERA and 1.59 WHIP during that stretch. The right-hander started the season strong, allowing just three runs over his first 16.1 innings with 24 strikeouts during that stretch, but he's struggled to find any consistency recently. Cease's eight strikeouts through four innings is encouraging, but he likely needs to make a few more adjustments to get back to where he was last year when he finished second in the AL Cy Young voting.

MAY 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs third win Cease (3-3) earned the win Tuesday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over 6 innings in a 4-2 win over Cleveland. He struck out three.

Impact It's Cease's first win since April 10, though he's now logged quality starts in three consecutive outings, allowing five runs in that span (18.1 innings). He's found success recently despite a decline in strikeout rate -- he hasn't recorded more than six punchouts in a start since April 5, sporting a subpar 19 percent K-rate since the beginning of May. Overall, Cease has a 4.60 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 60:25 K:BB over 11 starts (58.2 innings) this season.

MAY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pitches well, but takes loss Cease (2-3) took the loss Thursday, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk over 6.1 innings against the Guardians. He struck out three.

Impact Cease didn't get much help Thursday. With the infield drawn in, Tim Anderson misplayed a ground ball that allowed the go-ahead run to score. Then Gregory Santos gave up a single to plate Cleveland's third run charged to Cease. The righty has had a wild month of May, allowing 11 runs in his first two starts, but just three in his last two outings. Cease is still sitting on a bloated 4.78 ERA, as he tries to regain his form that led to a 2.20 ERA last season.

MAY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Next start coming Thursday Cease is scheduled to make his next start Thursday versus the Guardians at Guaranteed Rate Field, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Cease was initially slated to start in the White Sox's series opener with the Royals on Friday, but manager Pedro Grifol will instead use Monday's off day to reorder the rotation. Michael Kopech -- who had been in line to start Thursday's series finale with Cleveland -- will be bumped back a day to start Friday.

MAY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Bounces back Saturday Cease did not factor in the decision against Houston on Saturday, allowing four hits and two walks while striking out five batters over six scoreless innings.

Impact Cease was in dire need of a strong performance after allowing 20 earned runs over 18 innings across his previous four starts. The right-hander got back on track against the Astros, yielding just four hits -- all singles -- while notching his first scoreless outing of the campaign. Cease wasn't able to end a five-start winless streak because Chicago scored just once while he was in the game; however, this was an enormously positive appearance for him and the White Sox considering his struggles of late. Cease began the campaign pitching well, so his ERA still sits at a non-catastrophic 4.86 despite the recent rough patch.

MAY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles again Monday Cease (2-2) took the loss against Kansas City on Monday, allowing seven runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out six batters over five-plus innings.

Impact On paper, this looked like a good bounce-back opportunity for Cease, as KC entered the contest in the bottom third of the league in runs scored. However, the right-hander gave up a season-high seven earned runs, three of which crossed the plate after he departed. The White Sox bullpen can't be entirely blamed for that -- Cease allowed all three batters he faced in the sixth to reach base, handing over a bases-loaded, no-out situation. Cease was exceptional through four starts this season, posting a 2.01 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 29:12 K:BB. He's struggled since then, however, yielding 20 earned runs across 18 innings over his subsequent four starts. Things may not get any easier in his next outing, as he's tentatively lined up for a home matchup against the Astros.

MAY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Fans six in no-decision Cease didn't factor in the decision against Minnesota on Wednesday, allowing four runs on five hits and four walks while striking out six batters over five innings.

Impact Cease was spotted a three-run lead after the first inning, but he fell behind by allowing four runs between the third and fourth frames. However, Chicago came back to earn the victory and take Cease off the hook for a second straight loss. The right-hander continued to struggle with his control in Wednesday's outing, and he's now issued four or more walks in three of his seven starts this season. Cease has managed a strong 11.0 K/9 through 35.1 innings, but the walks have played a big part in his disappointing 4.58 ERA and 1.44 WHIP.

MAY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes first loss of season Cease (2-1) took the loss Thursday, allowing seven runs on nine hits and two walks over four innings in a 14-5 loss against the Rays. He struck out three.

Impact Cease had his worst start of the season against the first-place Rays. The right-hander has now lasted just four innings in each of his last two starts. On the bright side, the 27-year-old currently ranks eleventh in the league with 37 strikeouts. The fifth-year veteran is tentatively slated to face the Twins at home in his next appearance.

APRIL 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pulled after four innings Cease did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk over four innings during a 4-3 loss to the Rays in extras. He struck out five.

Impact Cease allowed a two-run home run to Randy Arozarena in the first and was pulled with 101 pitches after he surrendered back-to-back singles to start the bottom of the fifth. The right-hander has given up two or fewer runs in each of his first five starts, but his four innings Saturday was a season low. He currently sports a 2.73 ERA and has a 34:13 K:BB through 26.1 innings.
