Availability
Daniel Lynch allowed one run on two hits and two walks while striking out one over four innings in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Athletics.
Fantasy Impact
After Tuesday's win, Lynch now has a 7.88 ERA and 1.50 WHIP, with a 6.8 K/9 across his three starts. He gave up six hard hits and got just two whiffs over his 45 pitches, but at least he made it through the fourth inning. His next opportunity will come Sunday against the Tigers.
Daniel Lynch allowed four earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out two in the Royals' 6-4 loss to Chicago.
Fantasy Impact
After Friday's outing, Lynch has a 2.64 ERA and 1.01 WHIP with a 4-3 record, one save and 13 holds across 47 appearances. This was his first start since May 27, 2025. He made the rotation move amid all the Royals' injuries and couldn't keep his success going. He'll face the Dodgers next in a tough matchup.
Daniel Lynch will start against the Cubs on Friday night.
Fantasy Impact
Lynch will make his first start of the season Friday night, as the Royals will give him another shot at being a big-league starter. The 29-year-old southpaw has turned into an excellent reliever over the past couple of seasons, and currently sports a stellar 1.96 ERA across 46 appearances this year. Lynch largely failed to settle in as a starter for the Royals back in his first couple of seasons (2021, 2022). For his career, Lynch holds a 5.19 ERA as a starter compared to a 2.47 mark in relief.
Daniel Lynch tossed a scoreless frame on 12 pitches in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Tigers, allowing one hit with no walks and no strikeouts.
Fantasy Impact
After Saturday's win, Lynch now has a 2.08 ERA and 0.92 WHIP with a 7.1 K/9 and 12 holds across 43 appearances. Michael Wacha pitched seven innings, which allowed Lynch to get the eighth and give way to Alex Lange in the ninth. Lynch has been the best reliever for the Royals, but they won't commit to him as the ninth-inning closer.
Daniel Lynch allowed two hits over two scoreless innings in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Padres.
