Snags rare save Banks struck out the only batter he faced to earn the save in Friday's 4-3 win over the Athletics.

Impact The Phillies grew their lead from 1-0 to 4-0 in the ninth inning, taking a save situation off the board for Jordan Romano, who entered the game anyway in the bottom of the ninth. He struggled, allowing a three-run home run to Nick Kurtz, and Banks entered after that, striking out Luis Urias to avoid an epic collapse. This was Banks' fourth career save and his first this season. He's mostly pitched in a middle-relief role, compiling a 3.91 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 26:5 K:BB over 23 innings. While he was successful Friday, Banks is unlikely to challenge Romano for the closer role, while Matt Strahm and Orion Kerkering have been the Phillies' primary setup options.

Continues to work in middle relief Banks threw a scoreless sixth inning in Wednesday's 9-5 win over the Rockies. He struck out one.

Impact That's now seven scoreless outings out of nine appearances in May for Banks, but he's still given up five runs this month. On the season, the 33-year-old owns a 3.97 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 25:5 K:BB. With Jose Alvarado out of action due to an 80-game suspension, Banks could see more action as a setup man as opposed to a middle reliever, but he remains well out of contention for regular save chances.

Dealt to Philly The White Sox traded Banks to the Phillies on Tuesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Impact Through 48 innings with the White Sox, Banks has posted a 4.13 ERA and 1.29 WHIP. Chicago's lack of reliever depth has forced him to work often in high-leverage situations this season, though it's likely he moves into a middle relief role upon joining a more talented Phillies bullpen.

JULY 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Secures roster spot Banks will be a member of the White Sox's bullpen to begin the regular season, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Banks has been a key contributor out of the team's bullpen for the last two seasons, throwing a combined 124 innings. He hasn't been used in high-leverage roles, however, as he has just one career save and two career holds. Even so, manager Pedro Grifol has stated that the White Sox will not enter the season with a defined closer, so Banks could enter the picture if he starts the season well.

MARCH 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Collects first career save Banks walked two batters and struck out one in two-thirds of an inning Saturday to record his first career save in a 7-6 win over the Twins.

Impact The White Sox held a 7-1 lead heading into the eighth inning, but after Gregory Santos and Lane Ramsey made a mess of things, Banks took over and escaped with the win barely intact despite walking in a run, which got charged to Ramsey. Banks hasn't had a run added to his own ledger in seven straight appearances, posting a 0.75 WHIP and 9:4 K:BB through 10.2 innings over that stretch, but the southpaw is unlikely to be a regular part of the high-leverage mix down the stretch -- he has more losses (three) than saves and holds combined (one of each) this season.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to bullpen Banks worked in relief in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Cardinals, covering two innings and striking out four while allowing one earned run on one hit and one walk.

Impact Banks was making his first appearance since June 30, when he started in Oakland in what ended up being a tandem arrangement with Jesse Scholtens. The White Sox elected to hand Scholtens a start this past week against Toronto, so he looks as though he'll retain a back-end rotation spot over Banks for the time being.

Takes loss against Athletics Banks (0-3) allowed four earned runs on five hits and a walk while striking out three to take the loss Friday against the Athletics.

Impact Banks started his third consecutive game, with Friday's outing marking the longest appearance of his season. He's had poor results in the new role, allowing eight earned runs across 10.1 innings to go along with a more impressive 10:3 K:BB. It's unlikely that Banks will be stretched out as a traditional starter, though he may continue in the hybrid role so long as Mike Clevinger (biceps) is out.

JULY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Drawing start Friday Banks will start for the White Sox on Friday in Oakland, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact It will be Banks' third straight appearance that's a start, although he hasn't gone more than 3.2 innings in any outing so it could essentially be an extended opener situation. Jesse Scholtens followed Banks the last time out and is a candidate to do so again Friday.

JUNE 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Opening Sunday Banks will start Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Impact The left-hander allowed three runs across 3.2 frames as an opener last week and will make another start versus Boston. Banks threw a season-high 63 pitches in that outing and isn't likely to work much deeper Sunday before giving way to the bullpen.

JUNE 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Coughs up three runs Banks (0-2) allowed three runs on five hits over 3.2 innings Monday, striking out three and taking a loss against Texas.

Impact While Banks was listed as an opener Monday, he took care of a bulk of the work for the White Sox's bullpen game. He gave up a run in each of the first, third and fourth innings, raising his season ERA to 4.70 across 15.1 frames. On a more positive note, he has a solid 13:2 K:BB and should continue working in a bulk bullpen/opening role.

JUNE 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Opening Monday's contest Banks will serve as the White Sox's opening pitcher for Monday's game against the Rangers, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact During stops in the majors and minors this season, Banks has made 11 appearances spanning between two and three innings, and while he shouldn't be expected to work deep enough into Monday's contest to qualify for a win, he'll likely offer more length than the typical opener. Once Banks exits the contest, the White Sox could turn to Jesse Scholtens to cover multiple innings behind him.
