Lance Lynn - Page 6 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Debuting Tuesday 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.

Impact 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.

Officially dealt to LAD The White Sox traded Lynn to the Dodgers alongside Joe Kelly on Friday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Impact 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 self with his new team.

Close to being dealt to Dodgers The Dodgers are close to an agreement to acquire Lynn and Joe Kelly from the White Sox, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Impact 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 and this thing will get done. Lynn 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, it could be just what he needs to rehab his fantasy value.

Dodgers Rumors: Lance Lynn Addresses Trade Chatter with LA He seems optimistic!

JULY 28, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Another poor start 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.

Impact 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.

Hammered for nine runs 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.

Impact 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.

JULY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Beats Atlanta for sixth victory 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.

Impact 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.

Fans 11 over seven one-hit frames 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.

Impact 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).

Wednesday start postponed Lynn won't start Wednesday against the Blue Jays because the game was postponed due to rain, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Impact 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.

Why Lance Lynn's criticism of Angels' Andrew Velazquez's bunt makes absolutely no sense Lynn said of infield single: “That was embarrassing. Some people search for hits.” Some people? How about all batters.

JULY 1, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Grinds out fifth win 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.

Impact 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.

JUNE 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Falls short of quality start 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.

Impact 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.

JUNE 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back from bereavement list The White Sox reinstated Lynn from the bereavement list Thursday.

Impact 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.

JUNE 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Expected back for next start The White Sox list Lynn (personal) as their starting pitcher for Saturday's game against the Red Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field.

Impact 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.

JUNE 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Goes on bereavement list Lynn was placed on the bereavement list Monday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Coming off a 16-strikeout game against the Mariners on Sunday, Lynn should be ready to go for his scheduled start this weekend versus the Red Sox. He holds a 6.51 ERA on the season even after Sunday's stellar effort.

JUNE 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Fans 16 in loss 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.

Impact 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.

JUNE 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Labors in first inning 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.

Impact 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.

JUNE 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Has another rough outing 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...

Impact 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.

JUNE 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Start postponed Lynn will not start Wednesday against the Yankees after the game was postponed due to smoke.

Impact Lynn should instead get the ball in one half of Thursday's doubleheader in the Bronx, assuming the hazardous air 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.
