Dylan Axelrod allowed two runs in seven innings on Tuesday, helping the White Sox beat the Blue Jays.

The 27-year-old was good enough to get the win but took a no-decision, allowing just two solo home runs on the evening. He now owns a respectable 4.70 ERA on the young season. Still, his upside is low enough that he should only be rostered in AL-only leagues.

Dylan Axelrod was lit up for six runs in 3 2/3 innings by the Nationals on Thursday.

We're not sure what the White Sox were doing intentionally walking Bryce Harper with two outs in the fourth, but they were punished for it, as Ryan Zimmerman plated both Jayson Werth and Harper on his double. Axelrod was pulled immediately afterwards with the White Sox down 6-3. He wasn't very good at all tonight, but maybe he would have given up just the four runs if not for the over-managing from Robin Ventura.

The White Sox have named Dylan Axelrod their fifth starter.

He was expected to get the nod over Hector Santiago after John Danks was placed on the DL. Axelrod earned the gig by holding a 3.21 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 12/2 K/BB ratio over 14 innings this spring. His career 4.78 ERA is less than inspiring, but Axelrod has a nice minor league track record and could have some AL-only value.

Dylan Axelrod allowed two runs over three innings Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.

He surrendered four hits, didn't walk anyone and recorded three strikeouts. With John Danks slated to begin the season on the disabled list, Axelrod is looking like the favorite to fill in for him in the rotation. The right-hander boasts a 3.21 ERA and 12/2 K/BB ratio over 14 spring frames. He could receive a look in AL-only formats.

Dylan Axelrod started and gave up just one run over three innings in his start Sunday against the Mariners.

It was Axelrod's second win this spring. The 27-year-old is expected to open 2013 as a long reliever/sixth starter the White Sox.

White Sox recalled RHP Dylan Axelrod from Double-A Birmingham.

Axelrod was optioned to the minors after limiting the Orioles to just one run over 7 1/3 innings last Wednesday, but he's eligible to return now that Double-A Birmingham's season is over. He is expected to start Sunday against the Royals and is worth a shot in AL-only formats.

Dylan Axelrod is expected to be called up from Triple-A Charlotte to start Wednesday against the Orioles.

The White Sox were reportedly considering using Philip Humber or Hector Santiago, but Axelrod will get the nod. The 27-year-old right-hander has a 5.63 ERA and 31/12 K/BB ratio over 38 1/3 innings in six starts and four relief appearances with the White Sox this season and can be avoided in fantasy leagues.

Dylan Axelrod could be recalled Wednesday to start against the Orioles.

Axelrod was scratched from Monday's start at Triple-A Charlotte. He could conceivably remain in the rotation for a while if Gavin Floyd (elbow) ends up needing a trip to the disabled list.

Axelrod had been operating as the long man in the White Sox bullpen, but was the odd man out with Brett Myers coming in. Axelrod will likely be back with the big league club within the next several weeks.

Dylan Axelrod will start Monday against the Red Sox.

Gavin Floyd had been the scheduled starter, but he'll evidently be pushed back a day. It will likely be Axelrod's final start for a while, as Philip Humber is returning from the DL Wednesday.

Dylan Axelrod is expected to start against the Blue Jays Sunday on three days' rest.

White Sox manager Robin Ventura said that while Axelrod is the favorite to get the ball, it "can change at any moment." The right-hander threw 107 pitches in his outing Wednesday and would not exceed four innings against the Jays if he indeed does get the start.

Dylan Axelrod pitched extremely well against the Yankees on Thursday, allowing just two runs on six hits over seven innings of work.

Axelrod struck out four and walked three in the game. He surrendered a pair of RBI doubles in the fifth inning to Alex Rodriguez and Robinson Cano, leading to all of the damage against him. He left the game trailing 2-1, but a late rally from the White Sox took him off the hook for the loss. He makes for a decent speculative add while Phil Humber is on the DL and will take on the Rangers at home on Wednesday.

Dylan Axelrod will start Saturday against the Brewers.

He'll be starting in place of Phil Humber, who was placed on the disabled list Friday with a right elbow flexor strain. Axelrod has made three appearances at the major league level this season and had a 3.18 ERA and 66/18 K/BB ratio over 68 innings with Triple-A Charlotte. He's worth watching in AL-only leagues, but his upcoming matchups (including Thursday against the Yankees) don't inspire much enthusiasm.

Axelrod has posted a cool 3.18 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 66/18 K/BB ratio in 68 innings this season at the Triple-A level, and he's also had some past success in the bigs. He might be a decent streaming option in AL-only fantasy leagues if the Pale Hose grant him a start.

Axelrod was given first crack at Chris Sale's spot in the rotation and responded by allowing two runs on six hits and two walks over 4 1/3 innings in Sunday's loss to the Tigers. He heads to the minors with a 3.52 ERA and 1.57 WHIP. Chicago needed a reliever for Monday's doubleheader. Axelrod should be back soon enough, but the White Sox have an off-day Thursday and may not need a starter again until May 15.

The White Sox will option Dylan Axelrod to Triple-A Charlotte Sunday night.

With a doubleheader against the Indians scheduled for Monday, Chicago will summon a reliever in Axelrod's place. Axelrod gave up two runs on six hits and a pair of walks over 4 1/3 innings of Sunday's loss to the Tigers, raising his ERA to 3.52 and his WHIP to an unruly 1.57. He should be back on the roster in a few weeks.

Dylan Axelrod will take Chris Sale's spot in the rotation.

Axelrod's first chance to run with the job will come Sunday against the Tigers. The 2007 30th-round pick has started three career games, all with the White Sox late last season. He went 1-0 while giving up six earned runs, 16 hits and eight walks over 16 2/3 innings.

Dylan Axelrod will get a start during one half of next Monday's doubleheader against the Indians.

That's assuming he isn't needed in relief between now and then. Axelrod had an impressive 1.08 ERA and 26/4 K/BB ratio in 25 innings over his first four starts at the Triple-A level this season before allowing one run over 2 1/3 innings in his lone appearance for the Sox last week.

He'll replace the injured Jesse Crain (oblique) on the active roster. Axelrod, 26, had an impressive 1.08 ERA and 26/4 K/BB ratio in 25 innings over his first four starts at the Triple-A level this season and will pitch in middle relief with the big club.
