Jordan Lyles News
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.
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.
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.
