Tagged with loss Wednesday Burke (0-2) was tagged with the loss Wednesday against the Rays after allowing four runs on seven hits and three walks across 5.1 innings. He struck out two.

Impact Burke looked in cruise control early on, but he gave up homers to Junior Caminero and Jake Fraley, as well as an RBI double to Jonathan Aranda, en route to his second loss of the season. The 26-year-old right-hander has completed at least six innings in just one of his four starts and has allowed 11 runs (10 earned) in 20.1 frames, so he's far from being a reliable option in most formats, although the 17:6 K:BB does give him some appeal as a low-end starting option. Still, it's hard to trust Burke to pitch deep into games, which limits his upside considerably.

Settles for no-decision Wednesday Burke didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Orioles, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out three.

Impact It was the second straight solid performance from the right-hander, who tossed 58 of 92 pitches for strikes and left the mound with a 3-2 lead before watching the White Sox bullpen cough it up in the top of the sixth. Burke is still looking for his first win of 2026, but he'll take a 3.60 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and sparkling 15:3 K:BB through 15 innings over three outings (two starts) into his next trip to the mound, which is set to come at home early next week against the Rays.

Impressive in bulk relief Burke did not factor into the decision in Friday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Blue Jays, allowing one run on four hits and no walks with seven strikeouts over six innings.

Impact Burke entered in the second inning and allowed a run before settling in with five scoreless frames. He generated an impressive 15 swinging strikes on 85 pitches, including nine on his fastball. The 26-year-old has yielded four runs through two appearances (one start) to open the season while posting a strong 12:1 K:BB across 10 innings. If he draws a start next week, it would likely come at home against the Orioles.

Following an opener Friday Burke will be used in a bulk relief role for Friday's home opener versus the Blue Jays, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Grant Taylor will serve as an opener for the White Sox before handing things off to Burke. The 26-year-old Burke fared quite well in 2025 when used as a bulk reliever, posting a 2.97 ERA and 38:10 K:BB over 30.1 innings covering six outings. Burke yielded four runs (three earned) with a 5:1 K:BB over four frames in a traditional start versus the Brewers this past weekend.

CWS-TOR postponed Thursday Burke won't start Thursday against the Blue Jays after the game was postponed to Friday due to a forecast inclement weather in Chicago.

Impact The White Sox are likely to push Burke and the rest of their rotation back a day as a result of the postponement, so the right-hander should still be lined up to start the team's home opener Friday.

Struggles early in loss Burke (0-1) took the loss against the Brewers on Saturday, allowing four runs (three earned) on seven hits and one walk while striking out five over four innings.

Impact Burke was tagged for four runs over his first two innings before settling in with back-to-back scoreless frames. He threw 59 of 91 pitches for strikes but generated just five whiffs. The 26-year-old is coming off a 2025 campaign in which he posted a 4.22 ERA and 1.44 WHIP across 134.1 innings and will look to build more consistency moving forward. He lines up for a home matchup against the Blue Jays next week.

Locked into rotation Burke has earned a spot in the White Sox's rotation to begin the regular season, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact The White Sox have been purposefully vague about their rotation to begin the regular season, and Burke has been inconsistent this spring. However, he allowed only one earned run with four strikeouts and three walks across 4.2 innings Monday against the Rangers. Burke is expected to make his regular-season debut in Chicago's opening series against the Brewers.

Bumpy start to spring Burke allowed four earned runs on five hits while striking out three across 3.0 innings in Thursday's Cactus League game against the Guardians.

Impact This was Burke's third outing of the spring, and he's allowed a combined six earned runs across his last six innings. Despite the poor line Thursday, he did manage to settle in after allowing all four of his runs to the first six batters he faced. While Burke is expected to land a spot in the rotation to begin the season, manager Will Venable has been purposely non-committal about the roles of his pitchers to this point in the exhibition season.
