Mon Feb 1919:36Daniel Lynch IV Healthy And Ready For 2024 Season
Kansas City Royals left-hander Daniel Lynch IV (shoulder), who was held to 52 1/3 innings in 2023 due to a left-shoulder injury that first popped up in spring training, is healthy in camp and is building up as a starter to compete for a spot in the rotation. Lynch has also moved slightly on the rubber toward the first base side, which has allowed him to create different angles with his pitches to "maximize my arsenal." The 27-year-old southpaw is far from a guarantee to win a rotation job, though, and isn't fantasy relevant in single-year leagues. "It's probably the best I've felt in two years," Lynch said. He said he's put on 25 pounds as part of his rehab process, and he was able to throw two innings of live batting practice on Sunday afternoon. At best, Lynch will probably be a streaming option in AL-only leagues in 2024 if he's making starts.

Wed Jul 19 202319:20Daniel Lynch IV Back On The Shelf With Shoulder Strain
The Kansas City Royals placed left-hander Daniel Lynch IV (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list on Wednesday with a left-shoulder strain and recalled left-hander Austin Cox from Triple-A Omaha in a corresponding move. The move comes after Lynch allowed five earned runs on six hits (two homers) while walking two and striking out three in five innings in a win over the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday. It's the same injury that kept him out for several months at the start of the 2023 season, so this is bad news for the 26-year-old southpaw. Don't be surprised if Lynch has an extended absence. He's been a low-upside, matchup-based streamer in deeper leagues this year and has gone 3-4 with a 4.64 ERA (5.21 FIP), 1.26 WHIP, 16 walks and only 34 K's in 52 1/3 innings over nine starts.

Sat May 27 202313:55Daniel Lynch Slated To Start On Sunday Against The Nationals
Kansas City Royals left-handed pitcher Daniel Lynch (shoulder) will start on Sunday against the Washington Nationals. The 26-year-old will be making his season debut after going down in spring training with a rotator cuff strain. Lynch has looked sharp in his minor league starts at Triple-A Omaha. He put together a rough 5-13 record, 5.13 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, and 122:52 K/BB ratio over 131 2/3 innings (27 starts) last season with the Royals.

Mon May 22 202312:33Daniel Lynch Strikes Out Eight In Rehab Outing
Kansas City Royals left-hander Daniel Lynch (shoulder) allowed five runs on nine hits (two homers surrendered) while walking none and striking out eight in 3 2/3 innings pitched in a minor-league rehab start last week for Triple-A Omaha. It wasn't all pretty in Lynch's fourth rehab start, but the eight punchouts in just over three innings was pretty impressive. The 26-year-old southpaw has yet to pitch this year, but he could be a candidate to be reinstated from the 15-day injured list in order to start on Tuesday against the Detroit Tigers. In 27 starts in his second major-league season in 2022, Lynch went 4-13 with a 5.13 ERA (4.63 FIP), 1.57 WHIP and 20.3 percent strikeout rate in 131 2/3 innings.

Tue Apr 25 202321:57Daniel Lynch Completes A Bullpen Tuesday
Kansas City Royals lefty Daniel Lynch (shoulder) threw a bullpen on Tuesday and will toss three innings in an extended Spring Training game on Thursday. If all goes well, the 26-year-old will likely appear in a couple of rehab starts, according to Anne Rogers, before returning from a shoulder strain that he experienced near the end of March. Lynch is a former 34th overall draft pick but hasn't shown his potential on the field yet over his two seasons in the big leagues. He owns a career 5.32 ERA, 19.4% strikeout rate, 8.7% walk rate, and 1.57 WHIP in 42 starts. Fantasy managers should wait and see if Lynch has made any adjustments before making a move.

Fri Mar 24 202319:43Daniel Lynch Has Shoulder Strain, Likely Injured List Bound
Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Daniel Lynch (shoulder) has a strain in his throwing shoulder and will be shut down for 7-10 days. Lynch is likely to start the season on the IL. He was removed from his appearance Thursday. Lynch was a high-draft pick with top-prospect status but hasn't panned out. He will be a non-player in fantasy leagues.

Thu Mar 23 202320:16Daniel Lynch Removed Early On Thursday
Kansas City Royals pitcher Daniel Lynch (shoulder) was removed early during Thursday's Cactus League matchup against the San Diego Padres. The left-hander was pulled out from his relief appearance due to left shoulder discomfort. The assumption is that the organization is going to have Lynch undergo additional testing. There's a decent chance that Lynch begins the season on the injured list, but fantasy managers will have to check back for another update. Lynch struggled throughout most of the season in 2022, so it's hard to imagine him having much value to begin the season.

Mon Jul 25 202214:54Daniel Lynch Set To Begin Rehab Assignment Monday
Kansas City Royals left-hander Daniel Lynch (finger) is reportedly set to begin a rehab assignment on Monday with the organization's Triple-A affiliate. Lynch previously made 15 starts for Kansas City this season, pitching to a 5.05 ERA, a 4.24 FIP, 73 strikeouts, and 33 walks in 71.1 innings. He'd also registered three wins for the Royals. The 25-year-old previously went on the 15-day injured list due to a blister. Kansas City's current rotation options include Zack Greinke, Brad Keller, Brady Singer, and Kris Bubic.

Sun Jul 24 202214:16Daniel Lynch To Begin Rehab At Triple-A Monday
Kansas City Royals left-hander Daniel Lynch (finger) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Omaha on Monday. The 25-year-old landed on the 15-day injured list this past Sunday due to a blister on the middle finger of his left hand. While Lynch has made some strides since his bumpy rookie year in 2021, he's still been mostly struggling to keep opposing offenses at bay. Across 15 starts this season, he's gone 3-7 with a 5.05 ERA and a 1.58 WHIP. He's increased his strikeout rate from just 17.7% last year to 22.3% this season.

Mon Jul 18 202208:01Daniel Lynch Returns To Injured List With Blister
The Kansas City Royals placed left-hander Daniel Lynch (finger) on the 15-day injured list on Sunday. He developed a blister on the middle finger of his left hand during his start last Monday and he was forced to leave the start. He wound up making his next start on Saturday and the issue either got worse or just didn't go away like the team had hoped. This new blister is unrelated to the blister that forced him to miss time earlier this year. The 25-year-old has made 15 starts this season and he's gone 3-7 with a 5.05 ERA and a 1.58 WHIP.

Mon Jul 11 202222:08Daniel Lynch Exits Monday's Start Early
Kansas City Royals pitcher Daniel Lynch (finger) left Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the Tigers with a blister. He allowed two runs (one earned) on six hits and one walk while striking out three over four innings before exiting. The 25-year-old had his hand examined by the trainer in the fifth inning, and it appears a blister had resurfaced. The southpaw is considered day-to-day. He owns a 4.92 ERA, 1.55 WHIP, and 68 strikeouts over 67 2/3 innings. It's unclear if Lynch will make his next start Sunday against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Thu Sep 30 202119:12Daniel Lynch Placed On 10-Day Injured List
The Kansas City Royals placed starting pitcher Daniel Lynch (hand) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with a right hand contusion. Lynch suffered the injury during his start against the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday. He was hit in the hand by a comebacker off the bat of Indians catcher Austin Hedges. Lynch is done for the year, putting an end to a rough rookie season. The 24-year-old made 15 starts and went 4-6 with a 5.69 ERA and a 1.63 WHIP. He'll be one of many candidates to be part of the Royals rotation at the start of next season.

Wed Sep 29 202122:09Daniel Lynch Leaves Game With Apparent Injury
Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Daniel Lynch left Wednesday's start versus the Cleveland Indians after being struck by a comeback line drive off of his right arm. The 24-year-old took a line drive off the bat of Indians catcher Austin Hedges in the top of the fourth inning. Lynch finished with an official line of seven hits, two walks, and four earned runs while striking out two across three innings before exiting. More information should be available after the game, but it's safe to say Wednesday was the final appearance for the left-hander this season.

Tue Sep 21 202122:02Daniel Lynch Allows Four Runs In Loss To Indians
Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Daniel Lynch suffered his sixth loss of the year as the team fell 4-1 to the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday. He pitched six innings and allowed four hits, three walks and four earned runs while striking out five. The majority of the damage came in the first inning when Lynch gave up a three-run triple to Indians shortstop Yu Chang. Over 14 starts on the year, the rookie left-hander has gone 4-6 with a 5.40 ERA and a 1.57 WHIP. He should make two more starts on the year as he's lined up to face the Indians again next Tuesday and then the Minnesota Twins in the team's season finale.

Thu Sep 16 202117:08Daniel Lynch Exits Thursday's Start With Calf Tightness
Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Daniel Lynch (calf) was removed from his start against the Oakland Athletics after two innings due to left calf tightness. Joel Payamps entered the game in the third inning to take over. Lynch struggled over the two innings he was able to pitch on Thursday, allowing two hits, one walk and three runs (one earned) while striking out one. We don't know anything about the severity of the injury at this point, but we should get an update from the team after the game. Going into Thursday's game, the rookie left-hander had started 12 games on the year, posting a 5.37 ERA and a 1.61 WHIP.

Sun Aug 29 202109:31Daniel Lynch Allows One Run Over 4 2/3 Innings
Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Daniel Lynch had a decent outing against the Seattle Mariners on Saturday. He pitched 4 2/3 innings and allowed seven hits, three walks and one earned run while striking out four. Lynch has now allowed exactly one earned run in four of his past five starts. He's only gone past five innings once over that stretch, but he's pitching well enough to warrant the attention of all fantasy managers. Over five starts in August, he posted a strong 2.39 ERA. His next start will be next Saturday against the Chicago White Sox.

Tue Aug 24 202109:23Daniel Lynch Holds Astros To One Run Over Five Innings
Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Daniel Lynch had a solid outing against the Houston Astros on Monday. He pitched five innings and allowed six hits, three walks and one earned run while striking out five. He earned the win to improve to 4-3 on the year. Lynch has been pitching extremely well for about a full month now. He's earned wins in three of his last four starts and he has a 2.49 ERA over that four-start stretch. The Royals are going with a six-man rotation, which limits his opportunities and his upside, but he's worth a look in AL-only leagues and deep leagues. His next start will be a favorable one against the Seattle Mariners on Sunday.

Wed Aug 18 202100:21Daniel Lynch Goes Seven Strong On Tuesday
Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Daniel Lynch spun seven innings of one-run ball during a 3-1 victory over the Houston Astros on Tuesday.

In five starts since the All-Star break, the left-hander is 3-1 with a 2.35 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and 24 K across 30 2/3 innings. Lynch will look to build on his rookie season next Sunday in a solid matchup against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.

Wed Aug 11 202107:22Daniel Lynch Allows Three Runs Over 4 2/3 Innings
Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Daniel Lynch had some trouble on the mound in Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees. He pitched 4 2/3 innings and allowed four hits, four walks and three earned runs while striking out six. He was pulled after throwing 100 pitches. The Royals have had no problem extending Lynch in his starts. He's now thrown at least 95 pitches in each of his last four starts. However, this was the shortest start of that stretch in terms of innings. Lynch has shown a lot of improvements since his second call-up to the majors in July. He has a 4.60 ERA over his last four starts, far superior to his 15.75 ERA over his first three starts this year. He's worth keeping an eye on, but isn't a must-add in any redraft league at this point. He'll make his next start on Tuesday against the Houston Astros.

Fri Aug 6 202109:35Daniel Lynch Holds White Sox To One Run
Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Daniel Lynch had his third straight solid outing against the Chicago White Sox on Thursday. He pitched five innings and allowed four hits, two walks and one earned run while striking out seven. He earned the win to improve to 2-3 on the year. Lynch notched a pair of quality starts over his previous two outings before this one. It's been a tale of two seasons so far for Lynch. He allowed 14 earned runs over his first eight innings this year, then was sent back down to Triple-A. Since his last call-up in late July, he has allowed just four earned runs over 19 innings. He's worth adding in all leagues of 12 teams or deeper in case he can keep this up. His next start will be on Tuesday against the New York Yankees.
