No Timeline For Jordan Lyles' Return

The Kansas City Royals placed right-hander Jordan Lyles (personal) on the inactive list on Saturday, and the team is not disclosing the reason for his absence other than describing it as a "personal matter." There's no timeline for his return, but because of the type of inactive list Lyles was placed on, it opened a 40-man roster spot for the Royals to call up veteran right-handed reliever Tyler Duffey. Lyles has thrown five scoreless innings with three strikeouts in five appearances out of KC's bullpen during the 2024 regular season, but he hasn't pitched since April 12. With no defined role and most of his work coming in mop-up duty this year, however, the 33-year-old journeyman belongs on fantasy waiver wires while he's unavailable. There's no clear-cut fantasy beneficiary of his absence, either.

Jordan Lyles Expected To Remain In Royals Rotation In 2024

Kansas City Royals right-hander Jordan Lyles is expected to remain in the club's starting rotation next season, as per general manager J.J. Picollo. Picollo also stated that Brady Singer and Cole Ragans will be in the rotation with the final two spots up for grabs. Singer and Ragans returning is hardly surprising but Lyles' inclusion is somewhat suspect considering his results this season. The veteran's 6.28 ERA in 31 starts was easily the worst mark among 44 qualified pitchers while his 1.98 HR/9 surrendered ranked 42nd. On the positive side, he made at least 30 starts for the third straight season and should be able to eat more innings for the rebuilding Royals in 2024.

Jordan Lyles Rocked For Four Home Runs Tuesday

Kansas City Royals pitcher Jordan Lyles struggled on Tuesday against the visiting Seattle Mariners, surrendering six earned runs on the back of four home runs in five innings of work. The veteran allowed nine total hits and one walk against three strikeouts in five innings, however, his offense took him off the hook for the loss with a three-run ninth inning that tied the game before eventually losing in 10 innings. The long ball continues to decimate Lyles as he sports a 1.92 HR/9 on the season, the second-worst mark in baseball among 62 qualified pitchers and he also sports an elevated 1.40 HR/9 clip for his career. After Tuesday's outing, the right-hander now sports a 6.30 ERA in 23 starts, easily the worst mark in the big leagues among qualified hurlers.

Jordan Lyles Agrees To Two-Year Deal With Royals

The Kansas City Royals and free-agent right-hander Jordan Lyles agreed to a two-year, $17 million deal on Tuesday. Lyles makes a lot of sense for a rebuilding team looking to eat up rotation innings. The 32-year-old had a 4.42 ERA (4.40 FIP), a 1.38 WHIP and an 18.6 percent strikeout rate while going 12-11 in 179 innings over 32 starts for the Baltimore Orioles. He was a little bit better than his career marks of a 5.10 ERA (4.68 FIP), a 1.43 WHIP and a 17.6 percent strikeout rate in 12 major-league seasons with seven different organizations. Lyles will move to a better division for pitchers in the American League Central, but he'll also be nothing more than a deep-league innings eater in fantasy.

Royals, Jordan Lyles Reportedly Close To Two-Year Deal

The Kansas City Royals and free-agent starting pitcher Jordan Lyles are reportedly close to a two-year deal, MLB.com's Mark Feinsand reported Monday. The 32-year-old journeyman provided valuable innings for the Orioles in 2022, going 12-11 with a 4.42 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and an 18.6% strikeout rate in 32 starts and 179 innings pitched. While these numbers are useful outside of fantasy consideration, they don't offer much in terms of fantasy upside, beyond occasional streaming opportunities in points leagues. Furthermore, the Royals offense would not provide much support if Lyles does sign there, further limiting his fantasy upside.

Orioles Declining Jordan Lyles' Option

The Baltimore Orioles are reportedly declining Jordan Lyles' $11 million option, per a tweet from The Athletic's Dan Connolly. Also per Connolly's tweet, regarding the Orioles and Lyles, "The sides will continue discussions, a source said, and so he could re-sign at a later date." The right-hander made 32 starts for the American League East club in 2022. He logged a 4.42 ERA and a 4.40 FIP in 179 innings and collected 144 strikeouts compared to 52 walks allowed. The veteran also tied a career-high with 12 wins. Baltimore's current rotation options include John Means, Tyler Wells, Kyle Bradish, Dean Kremer, Grayson Rodriguez, Austin Voth and Mike Baumann.

Jordan Lyles Tosses Complete Game

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Jordan Lyles was able to throw a complete game during Wednesday's contest against the Detroit Tigers. The 31-year-old struck out six batters, while allowing one run on three hits in the win. The veteran righty needed only 94 pitches to go the distance in this one. He has been pitching much better over his last 70 innings or so. There might be some streaming value in Lyles over the final few weeks of the regular season.

Jordan Lyles Scratched From Game 2 Start

Baltimore Orioles right-hander Jordan Lyles (illness) has been scratched from his scheduled start on Monday in Game 2 of a doubleheader against the Toronto Blue Jays. Instead, Keegan Akin will get the nod after Mike Baumann threw the opener. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues will have to make the adjustment. Lyles has gone 10-9 on the season in 27 starts with a 4.25 ERA (4.27 FIP), 1.44 WHIP, 123 strikeouts and 48 walks in 152 1/3 innings pitched. This will be Akin's first start of the year. In 37 relief appearances, he's been solid with a 2.70 ERA (3.70 FIP), a 1.00 WHIP, two saves and a 62:16 K:BB in 70 innings. He'll essentially serve as the team's opener in the nightcap, making him one to avoid in fantasy.

Jordan Lyles To Start Against Nationals

Baltimore Orioles right-hander Jordan Lyles (illness) will start on Tuesday against the Washington Nationals. Lyles was scratched from his scheduled outing on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays due to a stomach virus, but he'll toe the rubber on Tuesday. The 31-year-old has been mediocre from a fantasy perspective with Baltimore this year, going 4-5 with a 5.10 ERA, 1.52 WHIP, 62 strikeouts and 24 walks in 72 1/3 innings over his 13 starts, but his matchup against Washington is certainly more attractive than it would've been on Sunday against the Rays.

Jordan Lyles Scratched With Stomach Bug

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Jordan Lyles was scratched from his spring outing on Friday due to a stomach bug that is going around the clubhouse, according to manager Brandon Hyde. The Orioles are hoping Lyles can get into a game within the next couple of days. Chris Ellis will get the nod in the Grapefruit League game on Friday instead. The 31-year-old right-hander was pretty bad in his last two seasons with the Texas Rangers, and he had a 5.15 ERA and 1.39 WHIP while striking out 146 and walking 56 in 180 innings over 32 outings (30 starts) in 2021. Given Baltimore's lack of starting options, Lyles will be guaranteed a rotation spot this year, but fantasy managers in mixed leagues can do much better.
