Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Dylan Cease wasn't his sharpest on Thursday, allowing six earned runs over four innings during his club's 15-7 loss to the Yankees. He did strike out 11 batters on the night, but the two walks and six hits, including two homers off the bat of Giancarlo Stanton, was enough to keep him from going out for the fifth inning. Luckily, his offense was able to bail him out for a no-decision to keep his record at 3-1, but he did see his ERA jump from 2.38 to 3.55 after this game. It's still been an impressive year for the 26-year-old who owns a 58/15 K/BB through 38 IP as he'll look to right the ship in his next start versus the Royals.

The 26-year-old was stellar over his first two outings of the year, allowing just two earned runs over 10.2 innings. Now, however, his ERA is up to 3.38, while his WHIP is sitting at 1.25.

He's pitched a total of seven innings and allowed three hits, two walks and one earned run while striking out eight. The 26-year-old had a breakout season in 2021, leading the majors with 12.3 K/9. He stayed healthy throughout the year and made 32 starts while going 13-7 with a 3.91 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP. There are few potential red flags for Cease going into 2022. He gave up a lot of hard contact with a 9.9% barrel rate that ranked in the bottom 15% of the league. However, he had a HR/FB rate of just 11.3%. That was a significant decrease from 2020, when he had an 18.2% HR/FB rate despite allowing a lower barrel rate (8.8%). RotoBaller has him ranked as the 23rd overall starting pitcher. He's a solid target as a No. 2 or No. 3 starter. His strikeout potential and win potential are elite, but he's got a little risk attached to him.
