Royals' Daniel Lynch: Begins rehab assignment
Lynch (shoulder) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha on Thursday.
Lynch is on the 60-day injured list, and with just over a week left in the season, it seems unlikely he'll be able to get back to the majors. However, his rehab is far enough along that he should be good to go at the start of the 2024 campaign. He may be able to get in a couple of appearances with Omaha before shutting it down for the year.

Royals' Daniel Lynch: Nearing rehab assignment
Lynch (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session with Triple-A Omaha this week and is expected to make at least one rehab appearance there soon, MLB.com reports.
It does not sound like Lynch will make it back to the Royals' active roster this season, but making some appearances before the season comes to a close could give the lefty some peace of mind heading into the winter. Lynch has been limited to just nine starts for Kansas City along with five rehab starts in 2023 due to shoulder issues.

Royals' Daniel Lynch: Moves to 60-day IL
Lynch (shoulder) was transferred from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Lynch has been sidelined by a shoulder strain since mid-July, and the move to the 60-day IL likely won't affect his return timeline. The left-hander has been throwing bullpen sessions but traveled to the Royals' spring facility Wednesday and will soon face live hitters. He could soon be cleared for a minor-league rehab assignment if the session of live batting practice goes well.

Royals' Daniel Lynch: Bullpen session scheduled
Lynch (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Lynch has been shut down since late July after receiving an injection in his injured shoulder, but he resumed playing catch Aug. 11 and now appears ready to take another step forward by getting back on the bump. Since he'll require multiple bullpen sessions and then multiple live batting practice sessions to get stretched back out before he heads out on a minor-league rehab assignment, Lynch may not be a realistic option to start games for the Royals until mid-to-late September.

Royals' Daniel Lynch: Shut down for multiple weeks
Lynch received an injection in his shoulder Friday and will be shut down for 2-3 weeks, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
After suffering a setback during his bullpen session Monday, Lynch is now facing an extended absence. There is currently no timeline in place for his return, but one could come into focus once he's cleared to resume throwing in mid-August.

Royals' Daniel Lynch: Setback with shoulder
Lynch (shoulder) was unable to complete a scheduled bullpen session Monday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Lynch is scheduled to undergo follow-up testing later this week, and his IL stint is now certain to last longer than 15 days. He's been on the shelf since July 19 because of a left shoulder strain that was initially believed to be relatively minor.

Royals' Daniel Lynch: Back to IL with shoulder strain
Lynch was placed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a left shoulder strain.
It's the same injury which cost him the first two months of the season. Lynch had authored three quality starts in four tries prior to struggling Tuesday versus the Tigers (although he did get the win) and it appears he might have been pitching compromised. It's unclear at this point how long he might be on the shelf.

Royals' Daniel Lynch: Struggles in win
Lynch (3-4) earned the win Tuesday, allowing five runs on six hits and two walks over five innings in an 11-10 victory over Detroit. He struck out three.
Lynch struggled with the long ball Tuesday, surrendering a two-run home run to Spencer Torkelson in the first inning and then being tagged again by Torkelson in the fifth for a three-run homer. Despite Torkelson's efforts, Lynch managed to pick up the victory, his third in five starts. During that stretch (29 innings), Lynch owns a 3.72 ERA and a 14:9 K:BB. He's tentatively scheduled for a road meeting against the Yankers for his next start.

Royals' Daniel Lynch: Stuck with loss in quality start
Lynch (2-4) took the loss Friday, giving up three runs on six hits and a walk over six innings as the Royals fell 3-0 to the Guardians. He struck out three.
The quality start was the third in Lynch's last four outings, but he got no help from a Kansas City offense that managed only two hits all night. The southpaw has a 2.63 ERA and 1.04 WHIP over that four-start stretch, but an 11:7 K:BB in 24 innings puts a damper on his fantasy appeal heading into the second half of the season.

Royals' Daniel Lynch: Holds off Dodgers for victory
Lynch (2-3) earned the win over the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four batters over five innings.
Kansas City staked Lynch to a 5-0 lead after one inning, but he gave three of those runs back in the second. However, Los Angeles didn't score against him again, and the southpaw managed to finish five frames despite needing 108 pitched to do so. The victory was the second in three starts for Lynch after he failed to notch a win over his first four outings. He's been solid over his past three starts, posting a 2.00 ERA and 1.00 WHIP despite an unappetizing 8:6 K:BB over 18 innings.

Royals' Daniel Lynch: Limits Rays to one run
Lynch allowed one run on six hits and a walk while striking out two over six innings Sunday against the Rays. He did not factor into the decision.
The one run against Lynch came from a solo blast off the bat of Jose Siri in the third. The other five hits Lynch gave up all went for singles. He did register nine whiffs but had under five strikeouts for the fourth consecutive start. He's now allowed three earned runs or less in five of six starts this year and stands at a 3.96 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 24:10 K:BB over 36.1 innings. Lynch will hope to get back in the win column next weekend when the Dodgers come to town.

Royals' Daniel Lynch: Blanks Detroit for first win
Lynch (1-3) earned the win Tuesday, allowing just one hit and two walks over seven scoreless innings against the Tigers. He struck out two.
Lynch was superb in a bounce-back performance that came in the wake of the southpaw surrendering seven runs and four homers to the Reds in his most recent start. Lynch lowered his ERA to 4.45 with a 1.19 WHIP and 22:9 K:BB across five starts (30.1 innings) this season. The veteran is currently in line for a tough road matchup with the Rays in his next outing.

Royals' Daniel Lynch: Surrenders season-high seven runs
Lynch (0-3) took the loss Wednesday, allowing seven runs on seven hits and two walks over seven innings against Cincinnati. He struck out three.
Lynch missed the first two months of the season with a strained left shoulder but was solid through his first three starts (16.1 innings), posting a 4.41 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 17:5 K:BB. However, he fell flat versus Cincinnati and gave up four home runs, recording season-worst marks in runs allowed and strikeouts. The left-hander did complete seven innings Wednesday for the first time this year and continues to be efficient in that regard (23.1 innings through four starts). Despite his struggles, Lynch figures to remain in the starting rotation until either Brad Keller (shoulder) or Ryan Yarbrough (head) is activated off the injured list.

Royals' Daniel Lynch: Takes loss despite quality start
Lynch (0-2) took the loss Friday, allowing three runs on eight hits and one walk over six innings. He struck out four.
Lynch made his third start of the season Friday after missing almost two months due to a strained left shoulder he suffered in the spring. The southpaw threw 58 of his 88 pitches for strikes while inducing an impressive 15 swinging strikes on the evening. Lynch has now gone at least five innings in all three of his starts, and he has yet to allow more than three earned runs in any outing. He is tentatively lined up to face the Reds next week.

Royals' Daniel Lynch: Up-and-down outing Saturday
Lynch (0-1) took the loss Saturday, allowing five runs (three earned) on six hits and one walk over five innings in a 6-4 loss to Colorado. He struck out seven.
Lynch was strong outside of a nightmare first inning where all five runs were scored against him, as he allowed just three hits over his final four frames. After suffering a strained left shoulder in spring training and missing early portions of the season, the left-hander owns a 4.35 ERA and 1.45 WHIP over 10.1 innings through two starts. Lynch also has an 11.3 K/9, though he's faced off against two of MLB's worst offenses (Washington and Colorado) and may have a tougher time in his next time out, which is likely to come next weekend in Baltimore.

Royals' Daniel Lynch: Allows two runs in no-decision
Lynch allowed two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out six over 5.1 innings Sunday against the Nationals. He did not factor into the decision.
Lynch had a pretty successful season debut. He stretched out to 95 pitches in the outing and induced 14 whiffs. He blanked the Nationals through the first three innings but ran into some trouble in the fourth. Lynch allowed three straight hits and a walk but was able to strike out the next two batters to escape with just allowing two runs. The Royals figure to give Lynch a run in the rotation as long as he can stay healthy and he'll line up for a home matchup against the Rockies next weekend.

Royals' Daniel Lynch: Activated for season debut
The Royals reinstated Lynch (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Nationals.
Lynch will be making his 2023 debut for the big club after he missed just under two months to begin the season while recovering from the left shoulder strain he suffered late in the Cactus League slate. The southpaw steadily built up his pitch count over five minor-league rehab outings and delivered his sharpest effort to date in his most recent start with Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday, when he struck out five over six scoreless frames. Lynch tossed 61 pitches in that outing, so he could have a light workload restriction in place as he slots back into the big-league rotation Sunday.

Royals' Daniel Lynch: Lined up for Sunday's start
Lynch (shoulder) appears to be on track to return from the 15-day injured list to start Sunday's game versus the Nationals, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Kansas City hasn't yet announced a starter for Sunday, but Lynch looks like an excellent candidate to fill the opneing after delivering six scoreless innings in his latest rehab outing this past Tuesday with Triple-A Omaha. The 26-year-old southpaw was poised to be a part of the Opening Day rotation before he suffered a left shoulder strain in late March. Lynch compiled a 5.32 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 177:83 K:BB across his first 199.2 major-league innings between 2021 and 2022.

Royals' Daniel Lynch: Making another rehab start
Lynch (shoulder) is making another rehab start with Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.
Lynch had been mentioned as a candidate to return from the 15-day injured list to start for the Royals on Tuesday against the Tigers, but that's now out the window as he gets another tune-up in the minors. He could make his 2023 big-league debut as soon as Sunday at home versus the Nationals, or perhaps early next week in St. Louis. Kansas City has yet to announce a starter for Tuesday's game, though Mike Mayers could be the top candidate to start or serve as a bulk reliever.
