Akin is slated to start Friday's game against Cleveland, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
Akin will be awarded a second turn through the Baltimore rotation after he limited the White Sox to one run over 4.2 innings in his first start of the season May 30. Over five outings in total with Baltimore, Akin maintains a 4.80 ERA, but a 3.59 FIP and 17.2 K-BB% suggest that he's pitched better than the ERA would imply.
