Adam Dunn blasted a home run for the third consecutive game, powering the White Sox to a 2-1 victory over the Royals on Sunday. |
Dunn finished the day 1-for-3 and also walked twice. He now leads all of baseball with his 28 homers on the season and has driven home 65 runs. At this pace, Dunn should seriously challenge his career bests of 46 homers and 106 RBI achieved in 2004 and 2007 respectively. |

Fri Jun 15 2012 | 00:42 | Dunn hits 22nd homer in loss to Cardinals |
Adam Dunn launched his 22nd home run of the season, a moonshot to center field, in a losing effort against the Cardinals on Thursday. |
Dunn finished the night 1-for-3 with the three-run shot off Jake Westbrook in the sixth inning. Though he's still hitting just .227, his 22 bombs and 50 RBI are exactly the type of numbers the White Sox were expecting to see and a big part of the reason for their early season success this year. It would have been Dunn's fourth consecutive game with a homer had he not gone 0-for-1 in a pinch hit appearance on Wednesday. |

Wed Jun 13 2012 | 18:39 | Dunn scratched because of slight ankle sprain |
Adam Dunn has been scratched from Wednesday night's game against the Cardinals due to a sprained ankle. |
The White Sox are calling it a "slight" sprain, but Dunn seems likely to sit out of Thursday's series finale as well. The slugger hit his 21st home run of the season in Tuesday night's 6-1 victory over St. Louis. Dayan Viciedo is batting third and playing left field in Dunn's place Wednesday. |

Tue May 15 2012 | 12:23 | Dunn to play left field vs. Cubs this weekend |
White Sox manager Robin Ventura said that Adam Dunn will play left field in all three games against the Cubs this weekend. |
Dunn is an obviously liability on defense, but the White Sox can't afford to keep his potent bat out of the lineup. The resurgent slugger has 12 homers, 28 RBI and a 1.003 OPS through his first 36 games this year. It would be pretty nice if he gets his outfield eligibility back. |

Adam Dunn connected on his 11th home run of the season, helping the lead the White Sox to a 5-0 victory over the Royals on Friday. |

Wed Apr 18 2012 | 23:12 | Adam Dunn has three-RBI night |
Adam Dunn roped a three-run double in Wednesday's 8-1 win over the Orioles. |
Thine eyes have seen the glory. Dunn also drew a trio of walks, upping his triple slash from a calamitous .179/.256/.333 to merely disastrous .195/.313/.366. Chicago's 32-year-old designated hitter has a long way to go before proving he's over the hitting woes that have plagued him since the beginning of the 2011 season. |

Tue Apr 3 2012 | 12:32 | Adam Dunn to bat third for White Sox |
White Sox manager Robin Ventura indicated Monday that he is leaning toward using Adam Dunn in the third spot in the batting order. |
"He gets on base a lot," said Ventura. "Even though he might strike out a little bit, he does walk a lot. To me, that's a good thing in front of Paul (Konerko)." Dunn probably won't stay there for long if he reverts to his 2011 form, but he is hitting .255/.415/.569 with five homers, 14 RBI and a 14/10 K/BB ratio this spring. Given the minimal price tag, he makes plenty of sense as a late-game bounce back pick in fantasy leagues. |

Thu Mar 22 2012 | 19:11 | Adam Dunn homers twice, drives in six |
Adam Dunn had his power stroke Thursday, belting a two-run homer and a grand slam against the Royals. |
Both longballs came off left-hander Bruce Chen, which is notable given how horrendous he was against left-handed pitching last season. His other two dingers this spring came off of Jordan Walden and Neftali Feliz. The DH is now batting .333 with a ridiculous 1.390 OPS this spring and has also walked nine times while striking out just once. He's still a fantasy risk because of last year, but we like him to bounce back. |
