Earns second hold Staumont pitched a perfect eighth inning to earn a hold in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Blue Jays.
Impact Staumont needed only 10 pitches to get through this outing. He's yet to allow a run in 7.2 innings this season. The right-hander has given up only two hits and a walk with four strikeouts and two holds in six outings.

Logs hold Staumont pitched two scoreless innings, allowing one hit and striking out one to earn a hold in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Angels.
Impact Staumont entered the game with a one-run lead to protect. The Royals added four runs while Staumont was in the game, giving the right-hander a larger cushion, not that he needed it. He's allowed just one hit and one walk with four strikeouts in 5.2 innings this season, and he's yet to allow a run. He should be good to go after spending Tuesday on the COVID-19-related injured list.

Pérez delivers with bat to finish big series, KC tops Angels

Back from COVID-19 IL The Royals reinstated Staumont from the COVID-19 injured list Wednesday.
Impact Staumont was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday without a defined injury, but the Royals' ability to activate him a day later implies that he was sidelined due to COVID-19-related reasons. The hard-throwing right-hander has apparently cleared all health and safety protocols, so he should be be available out of the bullpen for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

Lands on injured list Staumont was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with an unspecified injury.
Impact The 27-year-old last pitched Sunday with a scoreless frame against the White Sox, but it's unclear if he suffered the injury during that contest. Staumont will be eligible to be activated April 23, though he doesn't have an official return timeline.

Perfect inning Saturday Staumont pitched a perfect ninth inning in Saturday's 11-4 win over the Rangers.
Impact It was a non-save situation, but Staumont still pitched well. He needed just nine pitches to retire the side and end the game. The 27-year-old right-hander posted a 2.45 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, eight holds and a 0.7 groundball-to-flyball ratio in 25.2 innings last year. Staumont is expected to see high-leverage work in 2021, including some save opportunities. Greg Holland, Wade Davis and Scott Barlow are also in the mix to close in a crowded Royals bullpen.

Had COVID early in camp Staumont revealed Monday that he contracted COVID-19 right before the start of camp, Lynn Worthy of The Kansas City Star reports.
Impact He lost weight and dealt with a high fever, which is why he is a little behind the rest of Kansas City's relievers in terms of getting spring work in. Staumont made his spring debut Sunday, striking out one while allowing zero baserunners in one inning against the Dodgers. He should work in the late innings and will compete with Greg Holland and Scott Barlow for save opportunities.

Gets in sim work Staumont threw one inning in a simulated game Thursday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Impact Staumont was delayed arriving to camp for undisclosed reasons and has been ramping up his workload slowly since joining the team. He had thrown bullpens and live batting practice prior to Thursday's simulated game, and the next step will be Cactus League action.

Picks up eighth hold Staumont gave up two hits with zero strikeouts but did not allow a run in one inning Saturday against the Pirates en route to his eighth hold of the season.
Impact Staumont has been a valuable setup man for the Royals, boasting a 1.80 ERA and 32 strikeouts in 20 innings, although his 14 walks and 1.40 WHIP still linger as negative aspects of his fantasy profile. Greg Holland has emerged as the team's top closing option.
