The Royals have announced they have optioned rookie left-hander Daniel Lynch to Triple-A Omaha and have recalled right-handed reliever Jake Newberry. Catcher Cam Gallagher was also activated off the Injured List and Sebastian Rivero was optioned to Triple-A.
Lynch struggled in his three starts with the Royals, giving up 15 runs (14 earned) in just eight innings with five walks and seven strikeouts. It is the second-most runs given up in a Royals pitcher’s first three MLB games behind only Dan Reichert giving up 20 runs in his first three games in 1999. Lynch is ranked by many publications as the top pitching prospect in the Royals organization after being the 34th overall pick in the 2018 draft. Jakob Junis will start the evening game of Friday’s doubleheader against the White Sox, and would presumably replace Lynch in the rotation.
