Royals manager Matt Quatraro said Tuesday that Daniel Lynch IV will start in the Cactus League opener against the Rangers on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Lynch is expected to be followed by Noah Cameron and Chandler Champlain in the opener. The lefty made 16 appearances for the Royals last season with three of them being starts, posting a 3.32 ERA.
Daniel Lynch delivered a solid performance, allowing no earned runs and just one hit over three innings in Monday's 9-4 victory over the Guardians.
Fantasy Impact
He threw 34 pitches, walked one, and struck out one. This outing was a refreshing change of pace for Lynch, whose season has been marred by a high 5.61 ERA and a concerning 6.57 FIP in his previous starts. His performance on Monday, albeit in a limited role, could hint at an upward trend, especially considering his ability to maintain a low WHIP of 1.17. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Lynch's usage and effectiveness in future outings, as he could become a viable streaming option if he continues to show improvement and earns more innings.
The Royals have recalled Daniel Lynch from Triple-A Omaha.
Fantasy Impact
The 27-year-old will join the roster to provide depth in the bullpen. He has a 6.35 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP in five games this season.
The Royals have optioned Daniel Lynch to Triple-A Omaha.
Fantasy Impact
Lynch struggled in Wednesday’s loss to the Yankees, allowing six earned runs. The team has recalled Anthony Veneziano to provide depth in the bullpen.
Daniel Lynch had a rough outing in Friday's 10-9 victory over the Mariners, allowing eight earned runs on six hits and four walks while striking out four over four innings.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the Royals' offense bailing him out for a win, Lynch's performance was less than stellar, significantly impacting his season statistics. His ERA ballooned to 5.63, and with a FIP of 5.88 indicating underlying issues, fantasy managers might be wary. His strikeout rate remains mediocre at 6.8 K/9, and while his WHIP is decent at 1.19, the high earned runs and walks in this game highlight a potential risk for future outings. Fantasy managers should consider these factors heavily when deciding Lynch's role in their lineup.
