Daniel Lynch to make his MLB debut Monday

The Royals announced that left-hander Daniel Lynch will make his Major League debut on Monday in Kansas City against the Indians. No corresponding move has yet been announced. Monday would be Jakob Junis’ turn in the rotation. Brad Keller struggled again in his start on Sunday, and Brady Singer is day-to-day with a heel injury after taking a line drive off the foot on Saturday, so the Royals may need more rotation options.

Lynch was originally the 34th overall pick in the 2018 draft out of the University of Virginia, but he improved his velocity upon joining the Royals and now throws in the high-90s.
