Mauled by Cubs Burke (2-5) took the loss Saturday, coughing up six runs (five earned) on seven hits and five walks over 4.2 innings as the White Sox were downed 7-3 by the Cubs. He struck out fou...

Impact It's the third time in nine starts that Burke has been tagged for at least five earned runs, and the 25-year-old righty's control continues to desert him -- he's issued a career-worst five free passes in back-to-back outings, and multiple walks in eight straight. Burke will carry a 4.69 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 33:27 K:BB through 48 innings into his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Rangers.

Struggles with command Burkes did not factor in the decision during Sunday's win over Miami. He allowed a run on four hits and five walks over four innings while striking out two.

Impact Burke didn't give up a run until the fourth inning but he was not efficient enough to pitch into the fifth frame. He threw just 49 of 91 pitches for strikes while issuing a season-high five free passes. Burke did not walk a batter through 10.1 innings in his first two starts of the season but has since posted an unsightly 25:22 K:BB over his last seven appearances. He'll carry a 4.15 ERA into his next outing, which is lined up to be a road matchup with the Cubs next weekend.

Bullpen spoils strong start Burke allowed one run on four hits and three walks while striking out two in 6.1 inning Tuesday against the Royals. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Burke held the Royals scoreless through five innings and held them without an extra-base hit until Kyle Isbel took him deep to lead off the sixth. Burke finished the frame and exited in line for a win that was eventually squandered by the bullpen in the ninth inning. Burke's now posted back-to-back quality starts and has given up three runs or fewer while going at least five innings four straight times. He'll aim to close out a strong two-start week at home this weekend against the Marlins.

Tosses six scoreless innings Burke (2-4) earned the win against the Brewers on Thursday, allowing two hits and three walks while striking out five over six scoreless innings.

Impact Three of the six baserunners Burke allowed came in the first inning, but he was able to escape the bases-loaded situation after getting Rhys Hoskins to fly out. Burke proceeded to retire the minimum number of batters in four of the next five frames, coming away with his second quality start of the season on 94 pitches (58 strikes) while generating 10 whiffs. His efforts Thursday dropped his ERA and WHIP to 4.91 and 1.36, respectively, over 33 innings. Burke will look to make it two wins in a row in his next start, tentatively slated for next week on the road against the Royals.

Stuck with loss as primary pitcher Burke (1-4) took the loss Friday as the White Sox were downed 6-5 by the A's, giving up four runs (three earned) on five hits and two walks over 5.1 innings of relief. He struck ou...

Impact Entering the game to begin the second inning behind opener Tyler Gilbert, Burke kept the A's off the board for three frames before the wheels began to fall off. The 25-year-old righty tossed 86 pitches (49 strikes) before getting the hook as he lost his fourth straight decision, a stretch in which he's stumbled to a 7.71 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 17:11 K:BB over 21 innings. Burke will try to get back in the win column in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come at home next week against the Brewers.

Working behind opener Friday Burke is expected to serve as a bulk reliever behind opening pitcher Tyler Gilbert in Friday's game against the Athletics in Sacramento, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact The White Sox's Opening Day starter, Burke began the season on a high note, holding the Angels scoreless over six innings en route to picking up a win. Things have gone south for the young right-hander ever since, with Burke going 0-3 with an 8.62 ERA, 1.91 WHIP and 12:9 K:BB in 15.2 innings over his subsequent four outings. White Sox manager Will Venable will deploy Burke behind an opener with the hope that the arrangement yields better results from the 25-year-old, whose chances of claiming his second win of the season should increase if he's able to exit the game with a lead.

Strikes out five in no-decision Burke did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 8-4 win over the Red Sox, allowing four runs (one earned) on five hits and three walks with five strikeouts over five innings.

Impact Burke wasn't helped by his defense, as he surrendered a three-run home run following two consecutive errors in the first inning. He managed 14 swinging strikes on a season-high 94 pitches and completed five frames for just the second time in five outings. On the year, the 25-year-old owns a 6.23 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 15:9 K:BB across 21.2 innings and lines up for a road matchup with the Athletics next weekend.

Struggles with loud contact in loss Burke (1-3) took the loss Tuesday against the Athletics after giving up five runs on six hits and two walks in 3.1 innings. He struck out two.

Impact Burke struggled with his command Tuesday, serving up two home runs while allowing at least one run in each of his three full innings pitched. He was pulled after 69 pitches (44 strikes) in the fourth inning when the Athletics' lineup was set for its third time through the order. Burke won't be a recommended fantasy option in his next scheduled start in Boston, where he'll take a 7.56 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 10:6 K:BB over 16.2 innings (four starts) this year.
