2025 Fantasy Outlook
Burke turned heads with how well he pitched for the White Sox in September 2024, and he wound up being named the team's Opening Day starter in 2025. He held the Angels scoreless over six frames that day, but it was mostly a bumpy ride after that for the right-hander. Home runs (23 in 134.1 innings) and control (10.6 percent walk rate) were issues for Burke, and he had problems with both in the minors, too. Burke did strike out 53 in 37.1 innings after the All-Star break, but he also walked 20 and spent time back in the minors during that stretch. Being able to avoid the injured list and log 147 innings was encouraging for Burke after he had shoulder issues the previous two seasons. Burke is an intriguing project for new pitching coach Zach Bove, but the righty's supporting cast was among the league's worst on defense and offense in 2024. Read Past Outlooks

Strikes out 10 in bulk role
PChicago White Sox
September 28, 2025
Burke did not factor into the decision Saturday against the Nationals, allowing two runs on three hits and a walk across 4.1 relief innings. He struck out 10.
Analysis
Working in a bulk role, Burke logged a season-high 10 punchouts while allowing just a pair of runs on a Daylen Lile homer. The 25-year-old Burke was solid down the stretch, posting a 3.65 ERA over his last three appearances (12.1 innings). He'll finish the year at 4-11 with a 4.29 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 133 strikeouts across 134.1 innings.
