  • Thornton not helping chances: White Sox relief pitcher Matt Thornton (1-3) suffered his third loss in four outings during Chicago's 9-1 defeat to Kansas City on Sunday. Thornton replaced starter Philip Humber in the seventh inning and permitted a run and a hit while also walking one batter. He faced three batters before recording the third out of the inning. It was the fourth time in five outings this month he has yielded a run as his ERA has swelled to 4.61.

    Fantasy Analysis
    Thornton's habit for bad outings lately is not improving his chances to see time in the ninth inning. With the White Sox returning to a closer-by-committee approach after Chris Sale was moved back to the rotation, the left-hander was expected to receive save opportunities along with Addison Reed and Hector Santiago. But Thornton's effectiveness has waned since he posted a 0.82 ERA with 17 strikeouts and no walks over 11 innings during the first month of the season. Fantasy owners should consider Reed and Santiago better candidates for saves over Thornton.
