DANIEL LYNCH NEWS

Listed as Friday's starter Lynch (finger) is listed as the probable starting pitcher for Friday's game against the Twins, Lynn Worthy of The Kansas City Star reports.

Impact Lynch lasted just 2.2 innings in his Saturday start against the White Sox, allowing six runs on five hits and three walks. It was later revealed that the southpaw was pitching through a cut on his finger that made it difficult for him to deliver his pitches. It's not clear if the issue has entirely subsided, but the plan as of now is for him to toe the rubber Friday. Lynch allowed just three earned runs across his previous 16.2 innings before Saturday's shaky outing.

Leaves game with finger injury Lynch exited Saturday's start against the White Sox in the third inning due to a cut on his finger, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Impact Lynch's injury played a role in his struggles Saturday since he had trouble finishing his pitches due to the cut on his finger. Prior to his departure, he allowed six runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three in 2.2 innings to take the loss. The southpaw lines up to make his next start on the road against Minnesota on Friday, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to pitch.

Lasts 4.2 innings Lynch didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Mariners after allowing one run on seven hits and three walks while striking out four across 4.2 innings.

Impact Lynch pitched in normal rest despite the fact that his start was moved up to Saturday, and he continued the series of strong performances he's been hurling of late. He has gone 4-1 with a 2.24 ERA across his last seven starts.

Start moved up to Saturday Lynch, who was originally scheduled to start Sunday's game against Seattle, will instead start Saturday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Impact The shifting of the starting rotation became a necessity when Saturday's projected starter, Carlos Hernandez, was called upon to hurl 5.2 innings in Friday's extra-innings win. Lynch's last start was Monday at Houston, so he will be pitching on normal rest. The left-hander has been on a roll of late, posting a 2.27 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 4-1 record over his past six starts.

Tames Houston again Lynch (4-3) picked up the win in Monday's 7-1 victory against Houston, allowing one run on six hits and three walks with five strikeouts in five innings.

Impact Lynch toed the rubber against Houston for the second straight start and quieted its potent offense once again en route to the victory. The rookie lefty escaped jams in the third and fifth -- when the top of Houston's order saw him for the second and third time -- to permit just a single run across both frames. Lynch departed with a 2-1 lead that Kansas City quickly extended to erase any doubts about his fourth win in six turns. He tentatively lines up to face Seattle on Sunday.

Impressive versus Astros Lynch (3-3) earned the win over Houston on Tuesday, allowing one run on four hits and three walks while striking out five over seven innings.

Impact Facing MLB's top run-scoring team, Lynch posted one of the best starts of his young career, as he held Houston to a single run over seven frames while matching his season low with four hits allowed. The left-hander surrendered three baserunners and a run in the third frame but bounced back from there, facing the minimum three batters in each of the fourth, fifth and sixth innings. After looking lost in his first call-up to the big leagues -- Lynch gave up 14 earned runs across eight innings in May -- he has been substantially better in his second go-round with the Royals, registering a 2.35 ERA and 1.14 WHIP over five starts since July 25. That has earned him a stable role in the Royals rotation, and he's slated to get another chance to tame the Astros -- this time on the road -- early next week.

Whiffs six in no-decision Lynch did not factor in the decision against the Yankees on Tuesday. He pitched 4.2 innings, allowing three runs on four hits and four walks while striking out six.

Impact The rookie was wildly inefficient in the outing, needing 100 pitches -- only 58 of which were strikes -- to get through 4.2 frames. He tied his season high with four walks but managed to keep the Royals in the game thanks in part to six strikeouts and 17 swinging strikes. Lynch has posted an unappealing 5.97 ERA over seven big-league outings, but he has been better since his most recent promotion, posting a 2.66 ERA and 1.18 WHIP across 23.2 innings since July 25. His next start is tentatively slated to come against Houston early next week.
