Adam Dunn went 2-for-3 with a homer and a walk Thursday against the Royals.

The slumping Dunn has suddenly turned into a part-time player down the stretch here, even though he's far and away the White Sox's leader with 33 homers and 84 RBI this season. The Royals throw righties the next two days, so perhaps he'll start both games.

Adam Dunn - DH - White Sox

Adam Dunn was not in the White Sox' lineup Monday for the third straight game.

Manager Robin Ventura thinks Dunn has looked tired recently, and the big man's .104/.211/.194 batting line over the last 21 games is also surely a factor. Dunn will be back in the lineup Tuesday. "Just giving a lot of guys some really good looks against some really good teams," said Dunn. "That's the good part about, if there is a good part, evaluating what you have against good competition. That's also the bad part. Some people have to sit and watch. I understand, and it's good to kind of evaluate the kids, too."

Adam Dunn - DH - White Sox

Adam Dunn is not in the White Sox starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Orioles.

The veteran slugger is getting a day of rest against opposing southpaw Wei-Yin Chen. Dunn is hitting .225/.325/.445 with 30 homers, 80 RBI and a 69/162 BB/K rate on the year, and has recently hinted at the possibility that he could retire after the conclusion of this season.

Adam Dunn - DH - White Sox

Adam Dunn told FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal Tuesday that he could retire after the season.

Dunn is just 33, is guaranteed $15 million next season and is within shouting distance of 500 homers, but he indicated that a lack of enjoyment for the game could lead him to walking away. "I’m not coming back just to come back for money or because I have one year left (on his contract)," Dunn said. "I’m not coming back to chase home-run numbers or whatever. If I end up with 499 and I’m not having fun, see ya — 499 it is." It's certainly something to file away, but it's hard to see Dunn giving up a guaranteed $15 million.

Adam Dunn - DH - White Sox

Adam Dunn is not in the White Sox starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Red Sox.

It's merely a day of rest for the monstrous slugger against left-hander Felix Doubront. He's having a productive season for the White Sox, hitting .228/.331/.456 with 30 homers and 79 RBI in 128 games.

Adam Dunn - DH - White Sox

Adam Dunn reached 30 homers for the ninth time in his career Monday against the Astros.

Dunn took Brett Oberholtzer deep in the sixth for No. 30. His homer pace has actually slowed down as the year has gone on, though his batting average keeps going up. He's at .235 right now, which is a huge improvement considering he finished May at .156 and didn't get over .200 for good until July 4.

Adam Dunn - DH - White Sox

Adam Dunn slugged his 29th home run of the season Saturday as the White Sox beat the Rangers 3-2.

It was the seventh win in eight games for the out-of-contention Pale Hose, who are doing a good job of playing spoiler. Dunn has an .803 OPS in 122 games.

Adam Dunn - DH - White Sox

Adam Dunn went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, a walk, and two runs scored in Friday's win over the Twins.

Dunn is hitting .313 through 28 games since the All-Star break, though he has just four home runs during that timespan. The 33-year-old slugger reportedly passed through waivers earlier this month, so he can be traded to any team, but his remaining salary would likely be a big obstacle to a potential deal.

Adam Dunn - DH - White Sox

CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that Adam Dunn has passed through waivers.

He can now be traded anywhere. Dunn is batting .227/.332/.465 with 26 homers and 69 RBI this season but is still owed close to $20 million through the end of next season. Heyman lists the Rangers and Orioles as two teams that might have interest, though the Rangers would prefer a right-handed bat.

Adam Dunn finished 4-for-5 with a solo homer in Sunday's loss to the Tigers.

Dunn's second four-hit game of the season spiked his batting average from .218 to .226. The slugger's awful averages have always hurt his fantasy value, but he's still on pace for 39 homers and 100 RBI. Dunn's 26 bombs rank fifth in the American League.
