Royals place Hahn on IL, recall Newberry KANSAS CITY -- The Royals placed right-handed reliever Jesse Hahn on the 10-day injured list with right shoulder impingement syndrome, the c...
APRIL 12, 2021 • MLB.COM
Placed on 10-day injured list Hahn was placed on the 10-day injured list due to right shoulder impingement syndrome Monday.
Impact Hahn took blown saves in each of his past two relief appearances, but some of his struggles could have been attributed to his shoulder issue. The right-hander will be eligible to return from the injured list April 22, although it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to do so. Right-hander Jake Newberry was recalled from the Royals' alternate site to serve as bullpen depth in Hahn's absence.

Takes second blown save Hahn allowed two runs on a hit and two walks and failed to record an out while taking a blown save in Sunday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the White Sox.
Impact Hahn walked Yermin Mercedes and allowed a two-run homer to Adam Eaton to take his second blown save of the year. After Hahn walked Zack Collins to meet the three-batter minimum, Greg Holland was brought on in relief. The 31-year-old Hahn has one save, one hold and two blown saves across five appearances this season. He's posted a 13.50 ERA, 2.70 WHIP and 3:4 K:BB in 3.1 innings. If he continues to pitch ineffectively, he may see lower-leverage assignments.

Allows two-run homer Hahn gave up two runs on two hits over one inning in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to Cleveland. He was charged with a blown save.
Impact Hahn entered the game in the sixth inning and gave up a two-run homer to Jose Ramirez. Across four outings this season, Hahn has a save, a hold and a blown save. He's allowed three runs, four hits and two walks in 3.1 innings, which makes him a bit volatile early in the year. The 31-year-old isn't expected to be in the closing conversation this season, but he could still see some work in high-leverage situations.

Notches first save Hahn earned the save by allowing one walk and one hit in a scoreless inning Monday against Cleveland.
Impact Hahn issued a walk and surrendered a single to begin the bottom of the ninth, but he quickly settled down, inducing a double play followed by a groundout to end the game. It was a bit surprising to see Hahn get the call in the ninth, though Greg Holland did struggle on Opening Day in a save situation. Hahn has allowed one run on two hits and two walks while fanning three over 2.1 frames in three relief appearances so far this season.

Earns hold Hahn allowed one run on a hit and a walk and struck out two in one inning during Thursday's 14-10 win over the Rangers. He earned a hold in the appearance.
Impact Hahn was given the ball for the sixth inning, allowing an RBI single to Rangers designated hitter Eli White. The 31-year-old Hahn isn't expected to see much work in the late innings to start this season. He posted an impressive 0.52 ERA, 0.69 WHIP, three saves and five holds in 18 appearances last season. Should the likes of Greg Holland, Scott Barlow or Josh Staumont falter, Hahn could begin to take higher-leverage assignments.

Avoids arbitration with Royals Hahn agreed to a one-year, $1.75 million contract with the Royals on Tuesday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
Impact He will avoid arbitration with the Royals and will hit the open market after the 2021 season. Hahn logged a 0.52 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 19:8 K:BB in 17.1 innings (18 appearances) out of the bullpen last season and should compete for a high-leverage role in camp.

Earns save in season finale Hahn fired one scoreless inning Sunday as he earned the save against the Tigers. He allowed no hits and one walk while striking out three.
Impact Hahn was dominant throughout the 2020 season as he allowed just one run over 17.1 relief innings. During his final three outings, he was rewarded with a win and two saves. Although he had a smaller sample during the abbreviated season, the 31-year-old could compete for a fairly prominent role in the bullpen in 2021.

Picks up second save Hahn pitched a scoreless ninth inning with one walk and two strikeouts to earn the save in Friday's 3-2 win over the Tigers.
Impact Hahn walked Niko Goodrum, but whiffed Brandon Dixon and Eric Haase after that to escape the danger. It was Hahn's second save of the season to go with five holds, a 0.55 ERA and 0.67 WHIP in 16.1 innings. With Greg Holland (oblique) on the injured list to close out the year, Hahn could be in the mix if any save opportunities arise over the last two days of the season.
