Royals fans have received some tough news today about their rotation depth. As Anne Rogers of MLB.com pointed out Alec Marsh After he has been nursing a shoulder injury throughout the season, he hasn’t made a good progress on his throwing. at the same time, Kyle Wright Yesterday, he started triple A Omaha from the beginning due to his left tilt tightening.
Marsh, 27, was the Royals’ second round draft pick in 2019, but didn’t make his first appearance in Major League Baseball (MLB) until the 2023 season. He wasn’t particularly impressive in the rookie year, with ERA having an ERA of 5.69 in 74 1/3 innings, almost matching 5.70 FIP. However, he followed up with that pretty consistent season’s pedestrian performance, the Royals’ fifth starter last year. During the work of Bureau 129, Marsh released 4.53 ERA (92 ERA+) with a FIP of 4.34. Overall, it’s sufficiently stable to produce spinning, and the swamp’s season is more complicated than that.
The right-hander started with a strong 3.63 ERA, with FIP initially 3.84 FIP in his first 12 games of the 2024 campaign, but he surrendered 26 shots in the next 34 1/3 frames before being drafted as Triple-A. Nearly a month after being in minors, the swamp resurfaced and released a 3.90 ERA with a 4.76 FIP in the final six games of the season. His up and down seasons made him the periphery of the Kansas City rotation and led the club to start listening to his offer in the offseason. The final shipment of the royal family Brady Singer Instead, keep the swamp in folding state, but right-handers have been bound by shoulder soreness since the start of spring training.
Since then, Marsh has tried to start the throwing program several times, but has suffered setbacks each time and has been forced to stop his progress. In this latest attempt to make a comeback, the swamp has abandoned the mound but has not advanced to the batsman before he is closed. According to Rogers, he hasn’t been thrown for a few weeks and was scheduled to be re-evaluated on July 9.
As for Wright, right-handed never showed up among royals. He made his debut in Atlanta back in 2018 and spent part of six seasons in the organization’s Grand Slam, but various injuries have left him with just 60 appearances in those six years. 30 of those appearances were in his 2022 season, when he released a 3.19 ERA and 3.58 FIP in 180 1/3 innings, finishing tenth in the NL CY Young Award vote. He was once again designated as a fixture for Atlanta rotation in 2023 but was eliminated due to shoulder issues that ultimately require surgery.
Shortly after the program, he was exchanged for Kansas City, which would cost his entire 2024 campaign. He hasn’t returned to professionalism yet, as he was selected as Triple-A earlier this week after a long recovery process. Unfortunately, the above tilt tightness allowed him to get rid of his first post-running start. Wright is expected to travel to Kansas City for an MRI on Monday, and the royals will determine what to do next, Rogers wrote. Wright has been struggling to reach a 5.48 ERA in eight games between Double-A and Triple-A this year, but there is expected to be some rust given his nearly two-year layoff. If Wright’s tilt problem doesn’t pull him back further, it won’t be a shock to see the right royal debut later this year.
In more positive news, MLB.com points to right-handed Hunter Harvey He made progress in his return from the heavy pressure of Teres. Harvey was released in early April and won’t be back until August, but he’s still ready for a big step in his recovery process tomorrow “Light” Throw the meeting. While it sounds like he won’t go all out at this point, it’s a complete step for batsmen, a major step for a pitcher who is restricted to recovery. Harvey was a major acquisition by the Royals last summer, but Kansas City has thrown only 11 innings since the deal, including 5 1/3 of this year’s frames.
