The Kansas City Royals have named southpaw Daniel Lynch IV as their starting pitcher for tomorrow’s game against the Cubs, marking his first start of the season. With previous fifth starter Luinder Avila sidelined due to Tommy John surgery, the Royals are giving Lynch a chance to secure a rotation spot, despite their depleted pitching depth. Lynch has excelled in a relief role this season with a 1.96 ERA, and his performance will be critical as the team looks to rebuild its rotation for the future. As Lynch aims to prove himself, he faces a competitive field for starting positions next season, along with offseason acquisitions.
