2023 Fantasy Outlook
Less than a week before Opening Day, Lynn suffered a knee injury in a Grapefruit League game, requiring surgery for a torn tendon. The procedure knocked him out for the first two months, with Lynn making his season debut for the White Sox on June 13. He looked like a pitcher coming off a long-term absence, allowing 30 earned runs -- including seven home runs -- in his first seven starts (36 innings) back from the injured list. Eventually Lynn was able to right the ship. The right-hander posted a 2.18 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 62:8 K:BB over his final 62 innings spanning 10 starts. With his fantastic finish to the season, Lynn's stock is trending up again. He's a huge man at 6-foot-5, 280 pounds, but that does not make him immune to injuries as we've seen over the years. This is the final guaranteed year of his current deal, so Lynn would likely be a hot trade chip if the White Sox were to fall out of contention. Read Past Outlooks

Pitches well in no-decision
Lynn allowed two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out six over six innings in a no-decision against the Giants on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
This was Lynn's third straight win and his second quality start in his last five outings. He limited the damage to a two-run home run by LaMonte Wade in the fifth inning. Lynn is at a 5.83 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 187:63 K:BB through 177.2 innings over 31 starts between the Dodgers and the White Sox this year. He's projected for a road rematch with the Giants to finish his regular season, and he'll likely be in the Dodgers' postseason rotation.

While the scenery around him changed in 2021, Lynn remained a sturdy pitcher that relied primarily on his fastball and complementary sinker and cutter to pave his way to success. The result was his first sub-3.00 ERA since the 2014 season, which was backed by a .193 xBA, .313 xSLG and .250 xwOBA. Given that success, there doesn't appear to be many reasons to doubt Lynn going forward. There are a few areas to do so however, particularly a flyball rate that has stuck at over 40 percent for multiple seasons and a pull rate that rose to a career-high 39.9 percent in 2021. That combination could prove problematic for a pitcher who calls Guaranteed Rate Field home, one of the most homer-friendly parks in the league. Lynn had topped 150 innings in each of the last four full MLB seasons, but he'll be forced to miss the start of the 2022 campaign after being diagnosed with a slight tear in a tendon by his knee in early April. However, once he's healthy, even if his 2.69 ERA moves closer to his 3.72 SIERA, Lynn has established himself as a steady pitcher in recent years.
