Kansas City Royals right-hander Brady Singer allowed one run on five hits across five innings of work during Thursday's win over the Houston Astros. Singer struck out four in the contest while walking two. The 27-year-old is now 2-0 on the season with a sparkling 0.98 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 18/4 K/BB rate. Singer was a sizeable disappointment for fantasy managers in 2023, but he has passed all the tests thus far in 2024. He is set to face the lowly Chicago White Sox in his next projected start and should be rostered in all formats while his resurgence continues.

Kanas City Royals right-hander Brady Singer will look for his second straight excellent outing on Friday when he and the Royals play host to the Chicago White Sox. The 27-year-old dominated the Minnesota Twins in his first outing of the season, tossing seven scoreless innings with just three hits and one walk allowed while he stuck out 10 Twins on the day. It was certainly an encouraging start to the season for Singer who struggled to a 5.52 ERA in 29 starts last season, although his 4.29 FIP, 4.46 SIERA, and 7% BB% all suggest he wasn't as poor as his surface ERA indicates. A drop to an 18.9% K% was concerning, however, as Singer's mediocre 22.1% K% for his career puts a cap on his fantasy value.

In Kansas City Royals right-hander Brady Singer's Cactus League debut on Wednesday against the Seattle Mariners, he showcased two new pitches -- a four-seam fastball and a sweeper. Singer had an up-and-down year in 2023, posting a career-worst 5.52 ERA in a career-high 159 2/3 innings pitched. His sinker remains his bread and butter, but mixing in a four-seamer and sweeper now could make the young starter more effective. All three of Singer's strikeouts on Wednesday came on his sweeper in two innings of work. His four-seamer has good carry and "explodes on the hitter because of the true backspin," pitching coach Brian Sweeney said. Perhaps the new pitches will give the 27-year-old more strikeout potential after being mostly a two-pitch guy up to this point in his career. Fantasy managers in shallow-mixed leagues can be patient.

Kansas City Royals right-hander Brady Singer (back) is scheduled to make his Cactus League debut next Wednesday, Feb. 28, against the Seattle Mariners. Singer isn't limited at all at spring training this year despite ending the 2023 season on the injured list with a back strain. The 27-year-old former first-round pick by the Royals in 2018 out of Florida went 8-11 with a career-worst 5.52 ERA (4.29 FIP) and 1.45 WHIP with 49 walks and 133 strikeouts in a career-high 159 2/3 innings over 29 starts in his fourth year in the big leagues. It was a highly disappointing year for the former top prospect just hasn't fooled hitters much and probably needs to add to his arsenal in order to become interesting to fantasy managers in mixed leagues.

The Kansas City Royals have shut down starting pitcher Brady Singer (back) for the rest of the season, according to Anne Rogers of MLB.com. The right-hander started Monday's game against the Cleveland Guardians and experienced back tightness afterward. Following a breakout 2022 campaign in which he registered a 3.23 ERA, Singer struggled over 159 2/3 innings this year, posting a 5.52 ERA, 1.45 WHIP, and 18.9% strikeout rate. Fantasy managers who still own the 27-year-old can easily replace that kind of production with someone on the waiver wire.

The Kansas City Royals reinstated right-hander Brady Singer (arm) from the paternity list on Monday and optioned infielder Samad Taylor to Triple-A Omaha in a corresponding move. Singer is on track to make his next start on Tuesday against the Chicago White Sox. In addition to being away from the team for the birth of his child, Singer hasn't pitched since Aug. 25 due to arm fatigue. Even though the White Sox are a great matchup in fantasy, the 27-year-old will come with some extra risk after the longer-than-usual layoff. Singer struggled in his previous two starts against the Cubs and Mariners, allowing 10 runs (eight earned) on 18 hits (three home runs) while walking three and striking out nine in 7 2/3 innings.

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Brady Singer (arm) remains on the paternity leave list, but could be activated this week. The organization is hopeful that Singer will be available for their upcoming series against the Chicago White Sox. The team has already confirmed Cole Ragans and Jordan Lyles as their starters for Monday and Wednesday. The assumption is that Singer will pitch Tuesday, but he hasn't started since August 25 due to arm fatigue. He was shut down from throwing and then went on the paternity leave list on Friday. The right-hander is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Sunday. It's assumed he'll start on Tuesday, but fantasy managers will have to check back for another update on his status. The 27-year-old has not pitched well this season and can be avoided in most fantasy formats.

The Kansas City Royals are planning on skipping right-hander Brady Singer's next start due to a velocity drop and some arm fatigue, so he won't pitch until next week now. Scans have all come back clear. "Late in the year fatigue, we thought it was smart to skip one. And then get back to it next time," Singer said. The 27-year-old has really labored in his last two starts against the Chicago Cubs and Seattle Mariners, surrendering 10 runs (eight earned) on 18 hits (three homers) while walking three and striking out nine in 7 2/3 innings. He's now sporting a career-worst 5.15 ERA (4.07 FIP), 1.39 WHIP, 44 walks and 125 strikeouts in 143 1/3 innings over 26 starts in his fourth MLB season. Singer is just 10 innings short of his career-high (set last year) for innings pitched and one start short of his career-high 27 starts in a single season.

Kansas City Royals pitcher Brady Singer got through six innings on Thursday, permitting only a single run and fanning four batters in a no-decision against the Chicago White Sox. He "lowered" his ERA to 7.71 with the outcome. The 2018 first-rounder has been a massive disappointment thus far after a breakout 2022 when he assembled a 3.23 ERA across 153.1 innings. Singer has given up five runs or more in five of his eight starts in 2023. Fantasy managers are seeking some more consistency out of the 26-year-old, but Singer can't be trusted for his next start on Tuesday versus Yu Darvish and the San Diego Padres, even with the Friars offense vastly underperforming.

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Brady Singer was outstanding on Thursday as he held the Yankees to one hit over seven scoreless frames. Unfortunately, his offense couldn't muster up any support, and he settled for a no-decision in what ended up being a 1-0 walk-off win for New York. Singer struck out 10 on the evening and walked just one batter in his 99-pitch effort, giving him a superb 22/3 K/BB over his last two games combined. The 25-year-old is starting to put it together in his third big-league season, as he currently sits with a 3.51 ERA and 1.13 WHIP with 91 K's through 84 2/3 innings of work. Singer will look to keep up his momentum for his next scheduled start versus the White Sox next week.

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Brady Singer earned a quality start Friday, throwing seven innings of three-run ball against the Cleveland Guardians. He gave up six hits and no walks while striking out five, taking a no-decision in the contest. It's Singer's first quality start since May 22, and just his third on the year in 10 starts. He carries a 4.25 ERA and 1.17 WHIP on the season, but he's been a bit less productive of late with a 5.36 ERA over his last seven games. Fantasy managers will want to pick their spots carefully.

Kansas City Royals right-hander Brady Singer is being called up from Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday to start the second game of a doubleheader against the Chicago White Sox. Jonathan Heasley will get the nod in Game 1. Singer could stick around in KC's starting rotation if he has a solid outing on Tuesday. The 25-year-old will be making his first start of the season after allowing four earned runs on seven hits while walking one and striking out six in 5 2/3 relief innings over three appearances earlier this year. He has started 39 games for the Royals in the last two season and was doing well in Omaha's rotation before his call-up. Singer is a more attractive option than Heasley in deeper fantasy leagues.

The Kansas City Royals placed starting pitcher Brady Singer (arm) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. The 25-year-old right-hander is dealing with right arm inflammation. The injury came up during his start against the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday. He wasn't able to make it out of the first inning in the start as he felt what he described as a "grab" in his upper arm. Singer is officially done for the 2021 season. He made 27 starts this year and went 5-10 with a 4.91 ERA, a 1.55 WHIP and a 22.4% strikeout rate. The team called up pitcher Tyler Zuber from Triple-A to fill his roster spot.

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Brady Singer (arm) was removed in the first inning of Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Indians due to upper right arm discomfort. After the game, he told reporters that he felt a grab in his upper arm, around the biceps area, after throwing a slider to Bradley Zimmer. He explained that he'd felt a similar pain before, but that it was a bit too much for him in this particular instance. He also added that he was feeling better and said that he's "not overly concerned about it." We likely won't see Singer again in 2021. Over 27 starts this year, he's gone 5-10 with a 4.91 ERA and a 1.55 WHIP.

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Brady Singer (arm) left Tuesday's start versus the Cleveland Indians with upper right arm discomfort, according to the team. The 25-year-old surrendered three hits, a walk, and three earned runs before being pulled after 2/3 innings. More information should be available after the game, but it would be a safe assumption to say the right-hander's season is over. Provided the injury isn't major, Singer poses an intriguing back-of-the-rotation option for redraft leagues next season.

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Brady Singer had a strong outing in Game 1 of the team's doubleheader against the Cleveland Indians on Monday. He pitched all seven innings of the game and allowed six hits, one walk and two earned runs while striking out seven. The 25-year-old has now notched quality stars in four of his last six outings. He is 5-10 with a 4.72 ERA and a 1.53 WHIP on the year. His recent success makes him someone worth targeting for fantasy managers in need of pitching help in the final weeks of the season. He has another favorable matchup coming up against the Detroit Tigers on the road on Sunday.

The Kansas City Royals placed starting pitcher Brady Singer on the injured list on Friday. No injury was disclosed for him so the speculation is that the move was COVID-19-related.

The team called up Jon Heasley from Double-A to fill Singer's roster spot and to make the start in Friday's game. Over 25 starts on the year, Singer has gone 4-10 with a 4.85 ERA and a 1.56 WHIP. We should know more about the reason for the IL move and the expected length of his absence soon.

He pitched six innings and allowed three hits, three walks and two runs (one earned) while striking out five. He wound up with a no decision in the game. Singer posted a 3.80 ERA over his four starts in August. He settled in a bit this month after giving up five runs to the New York Yankees in his first start of the month. Two of his last three starts now have gone for quality starts. He's been too inconsistent to trust for fantasy purposes on the year, but we'll see if he can find some consistency going into the final stretch of the year. He'll take a 4.87 ERA and a 1.60 WHIP into his next start against the Chicago White Sox next Sunday.

It was just his second quality start since June 11 and it was his second-longest outing of the year. The 25-year-old had really struggled over his last two outings, allowing 12 earned runs over just 5.2 innings. He has a 5.23 ERA and a 1.60 WHIP on the year. He shouldn't be trusted for fantasy purposes at this point, but we'll see if he can build off of Wednesday's outing. His next start will be on Tuesday against the Astros once again.
