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

Faces 21 batters in spring finale
Lynn allowed two earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six across 4.2 innings in Saturday's Cactus League game against the Reds.
ANALYSIS
Lynn took the mound for the first time since returning from the World Baseball Classic. He was hit around initially but closed the outing with three shutout innings while retiring 10 of the final 11 batters he faced. Lynn is expected to start Chicago's second game of the regular season Friday against the Astros, and he should be able to work fairly deep into the game after facing 21 batters in his spring training finale.

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.
