The Kansas City Royals this season have received great performances from most of their starting pitchers. Cole Ragans may have struggled, but Seth Lugo and Michael Wacha picked up where they left off last season. Kris Bubic and Noah Cameron have been excellent, while Michael Lorenzen has been cromulent in his role as the fifth starter.
With Ragans, Bubic, and Lorenzen all hurt, and Bubic done for the year, the strength of the Royals team for the first half of the year quickly became an issue. Kansas City came into the year expecting Alec Marsh and Kyle Wright to be available by now, but neither has been able to get healthy.
