\"\"<\/a>After nearly a seasons-worth of poor performances, the White Sox cut bait on Dallas Keuchel yesterday, designating the veteran left hander for assignment.\u00a0 Keuchel, 34, had a 2-5 record with a 7.88 ERA in eight starts this season and finished his White Sox career 17-16 with a 4.79 ERA in 51 appearances, 49 of them starts.<\/p>\n

Signed prior to the 2020 season, Keuchel looked like a steal during the pandemic shortened season.\u00a0 He went 6-2 with a 1.99 ERA in 11 starts, finishing fifth in Cy Young Award voting.\u00a0 He started strong in 2021, going 6-1 with a 3.78 ERA in his first 14 starts, but things went south quickly from there.\u00a0 In his last 18 appearances, he put up a 3-8 record with a 6.70 ERA.\u00a0 Things were bad enough that he was left off the playoff roster for the ALDS against the Astros.<\/p>\n

Keuchel said during spring training that the end of 2021 left a \u201csour taste\u201d in his mouth, so he started throwing earlier in the offseason than usual to in hopes of a rebound season.\u00a0 Unfortunately, it didn’t produce the results he was hoping for.\u00a0 He managed to go at least five innings in just half of his eight starts.\u00a0 In his last two starts, against the Yankees and the Red Sox, he gave up a combined 12 earned runs in just 6 innings pitched.<\/p>\n

Is this the end of the road for Keuchel?\u00a0 It certainly seems possible, given not just his poor results but also how he’s been getting them.\u00a0 His long-held ability to limit damage by not giving up free baserunners has left him, as he walked 20 batters in jut 32 innings this year.\u00a0 But, injuries have a way of making teams desperate for pitching, so his phone may ring sometime over the next few months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
