| News: Dunn is still feeling some of the effects of his back spasms but says it hasn't presented any issues with his hitting, the CSN Chicago reports. | Impact: Though his .168 batting average might suggest that Dunn has a very loose definition of "issues with hitting," he characterized the pain as mostly "vertical," presenting more problems in the field for him in getting his body loose. He'll continue to play exclusively at DH until his back feels a bit better.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Dunn belted a three-run homer during Monday's 6-4 win over Boston. | Impact: Dunn has been on fire over the last week, going 9 for 25 (.360) with five long balls and 13 RBIs over seven games.(STATS, 11:51am) |

| News: Dunn continued his recent power surge Monday, smacking his 11th home run of the season as the White Sox defeated the Red Sox 6-4. | Impact: Dunn's batting average is unsightly and he has more than twice as many strikeouts as he does hits this season, but the DH/1B has been a constant source of power. Dunn now has five home runs in his last seven games. If you can live with the batting average, Dunn will provide the power numbers.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Dunn (back) is in the lineup Sunday at the Angels, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. | Impact: After tweaking his back in the on-deck circle Saturday, Dunn tested it in batting practice and emerged unscathed. He'll bat his typical cleanup and man the DH slot for the White Sox.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Dunn (back) revealed he tweaked his back while stretching in the on-deck circle Saturday. He said he will play Sunday, but the team has not officially announced his status, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. | Impact: Either way, Dunn seems unlikely to miss more than a game or two with the ailment, but take his optimism with the appropriate grain of salt considering his past willingness to rush back from various ailments.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Dunn left Saturday's game in the fifth inning due to back spasms, FOXSports.com reports. | Impact: Though it doesn't appear to be anything serious, the injury comes at a poor time for Dunn, who is hitting .438 with four homers and eight RBI over the last four games. His average for the season remains very low (.168), but he's contributed 10 home runs and 20 RBI.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Dunn went 1-for-4 and belted his 10th home run of the season, a solo shot in the ninth inning of the White Sox win over the Angels on Monday. | Impact: Dunn has been absolutely on fire these last four games going 7-for-16 (.438) with four home runs, eight RBI and five runs scored. He's still batting just .168 on the year, but if you can withstand some batting average problems, his 10 home runs and 20 RBI will certainly prove to be a substantial help.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Dunn had two hits in a 5-4 loss to the Angels on Thursday night. | Impact: Dunn did not homer after doing so three times in his previous two games.(STATS, 4:39pm) |
| Thu. May 16, 2013 | |
| News: Dunn went 2-for-4 with a double and RBI single Thursday. | Impact: Dunn is hitting well under .200 on the season, but he seems to be coming around a bit, with five hits in his last eight at-bats. Keep an eye on him, as he could provide cheap power for your team if he's available on the waiver wire.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Dunn homered twice, doubled and drove in five runs, powering the Chicago White Sox past the Minnesota Twins 9-4 on Wednesday. | Impact: Dunn hit a pair of two-run shots for his 35th career multihomer game. He's hit three home runs in the last two games and has nine this year. Dunn went 3 for 4 with a walk and still has the third-worst batting average in the majors, at .156, for players with the minimum amount of at-bats. But the White Sox didn't sign him to hit singles, and the 6-foot-6, 285-pound first baseman can still drive the ball with the best of them. Nine of his 20 hits this season are homers.(STATS, 3:26pm) |
| Wed. May 15, 2013 | |
| News: Dunn was locked in Wednesday, going 3-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI. | Impact: Dunn's three hits nearly matched the number of hits (four) he had the rest of May. Dunn won't provide owners much in the way of batting average - he's hitting just .156 this year - but he still has significant power, as evidenced by his nine home runs.(RotoWire, ) |
| Wed. May 15, 2013 | |
| News: Dunn homered Tuesday in a 4-2 win over the Twins. | Impact: Dunn entered the game hitting a league-worst .133, and fantasy owners have to know what to expect from the strikeout machine at this point.(STATS, 1:44pm) |
| May 12, 2013 | |
| News: Dunn is not in the lineup Sunday against the Angels. | Impact: With left-hander C.J. Wilson on the mound, Dunn will get the day off so as not to further compound his struggles. Dunn is batting a feeble .137 on the season.(RotoWire, ) |
| Wed. May 8, 2013 | |
| News: Dunn is out of the White Sox's lineup Wednesday at the Mets, the Chicago Tribune reports. | Impact: Dunn is putting up a typical line -- a .145 average with six homers and 41 strikeouts in 110 at-bats -- so far this season. However, the lack of the DH in a National League park will hold him to the bench, as Paul Konerko covers first base.(RotoWire, ) |
