White Sox manager Robin Ventura indicated on Friday that he's "very interested" in seeing Adam Dunn's new, more aggressive approach on display during the Cactus League season.

While Dunn had a bounce-back season with 41 homers and 96 RBI in 2012, he still hit just .204 and struck out a league-high 222 times. He also led the league in walks with 105, but has vowed to become a more aggressive hitter in 2013. Even with the re-vamped approach, Dunn will be a huge batting average liability in fantasy drafts.

Adam Dunn launched a solo homer in the sixth and a go-ahead, three-run homer in the eighth in Monday's win over the Indians.

He took an 0-2 mistake from Vinnie Pestano just over the right-center field wall, allowing the White Sox to retain a one-game lead over the Tigers in the AL Central. Dunn entered the game with just three hits and no homers over the last seven games, but he came up huge for the Sox in this one. With the two longballs, Dunn now has 41 for the season, 30 more than he hit last year.

Adam Dunn went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts Saturday in the loss to the Angels.

Don't look now but Dunn might yet finish another season with a sub-.200 average. He's currently in a 1-for-18 slump, putting him at .207. The White Sox have 11 games left, which should mean about 40 more at-bats for Dunn. If he were to go 4-for-40, he'd end the season at .199.

Adam Dunn will serve as the designated hitter Tuesday against the Royals.

The White Sox have used Dunn at first base since his oblique injury in an effort to keep him loose, so this is a sign that he's feeling better. Paul Konerko is back at first base Tuesday.

Adam Dunn (oblique) went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run scored in his return to action Saturday.

Dunn missed the previous seven games with a strained right oblique. He probably won't be 100 percent the rest of the way, but fantasy owners shouldn't hesitate putting him back in their lineups.

Adam Dunn returned to the White Sox lineup Saturday.

Adam Dunn (oblique) hopes to return Saturday.

Dunn is out of the lineup for the eighth straight game Friday, but says that this is the best he has felt since the injury. Dayan Viciedo will DH again on Friday while Alejandro De Aza plays left field and Dewayne Wise starts in center.

Adam Dunn (oblique) is out of the lineup for the seventh straight game Thursday.

Dunn reported no improvement with his oblique on Wednesday, but was scheduled to hit again on Thursday. There's a chance he could be back this weekend. Dayan Viciedo will serve as the DH on Thursday while Alejandro De Aza plays left field and Dewayne Wise starts in center.

White Sox manager Robin Ventura said Adam Dunn has not progressed as hoped but will try to hit again Thursday.

Dunn received a pain-killing injection Tuesday but reported no improvement with his oblique Wednesday. He's tried to hit a couple times but simply doesn't feel well enough and conceded that one swing and miss could cause him to tear his oblique. We'll see how Thursday's hitting session goes, but it's sounding like he might not return this week.

Adam Dunn (oblique) is not in the White Sox' lineup Wednesday for the sixth straight game.

Manager Robin Ventura expressed hope after Dunn was given a pain-killing injection on Tuesday that the slugger would be back in there Wednesday. He seems likely to be ready in another day or two. Dan Johnson is in the DH slot Wednesday.

White Sox manager Robin Ventura told reporters that Adam Dunn (oblique) might be ready on Wednesday.

Dunn got a pain-killing injection on Tuesday afternoon and it's apparently doing the trick. He'll take batting practice on Wednesday before deciding whether he's ready. The slugger has been out for the past week.

Adam Dunn (oblique) got a pain-killing injection on Tuesday and will try to swing a bat Wednesday.

Dunn hasn't appeared in a game since last Wednesday because of a strained right oblique. The 32-year-old slugger might not be ready to rock until the weekend.

Adam Dunn (oblique) is out of the White Sox starting lineup again Tuesday.

Dunn hasn't played since last Wednesday due to a nagging oblique injury. While he reported improvement on Monday, he has yet to begin swinging a bat. He'll continue to be evaluated on a day-to-day basis for now.

Adam Dunn spoke of "marked improvement" with his strained right oblique Monday.

Dunn was out of the lineup for the fourth straight game Monday. He still hasn't swung a bat, but there's a chance he could be available on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Adam Dunn (oblique) could be sidelined for another five days.

The means he would miss the critical four-game series against the Tigers that begins Monday. Dunn returned last week for three games but aggravated his oblique injury on Wednesday. ``He still has a strain, and it will be [at least] a couple days,'' White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. ``It's when he [feels he's] ready to go.''

Adam Dunn is not in Friday's lineup against the Royals.

No word on if his absence is related to his recent oblique tweak, but it wouldn't be surprising. Dayan Viciedo will serve as the DH on Friday while Dewayne Wise plays left field.

Adam Dunn (ribs) is back in the White Sox starting lineup on Monday night against the Twins.

Dunn was a late scratch Saturday and also sat out Sunday because of a minor oblique tweak. The 32-year-old slugger has 38 homers and 88 RBI in 130 games this season despite a .205 average and .337 OBP.

Adam Dunn was a late scratch to Saturday's lineup against the Tigers, as he apparently tweaked his oblique.

Dan Johnson will replace him and serve as the designated hitter. He's delivered elite power production in the middle of the White Sox lineup this season, hitting .205/.337/.483 with 38 homers and 88 RBI. His bat will surely be missed in a crucial divisional matchup against the Tigers.

Adam Dunn blasted a pair of home runs and drove home three, powering the White Sox to a wild 9-8 victory over the Mariners on Friday.

Both of the taters were served up by Jason Vargas, a solo shot in the first inning and a two-run bomb in the third. He's now hitting .207/.339/.500 with 38 homers and 87 RBI in a true resurgent season. He's also struck out 180 times and has the same amount of singles (38) as he does long balls.

Adam Dunn hit the 400th home run of his career in a loss to the Royals on Saturday in Kansas City.

Dunn's towering shot to center field in the top of the eighth inning scored Kevin Youkilis and brought the White Sox within one run of the Royals. But a late Kansas City rally ended any hope of a comeback. Dunn has 35 home runs and 83 RBI in 118 games this season. He's batting .209.
