Noah Cameron Fantasy Stats

Kansas City Royals left-hander Noah Cameron will start against the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday, manager Matt Quatraro announced. The Royals had planned to start righty Seth Lugo (back), but he's dealing with tightness in his lower back and will need at least a couple of days to recover. With Lugo unavailable, the Royals will turn to Cameron, who has been one of the majors' best rookie pitchers this season. The 26-year-old has gone 7-6 with a 2.92 ERA, a 1.09 WHIP, and 83:31 K:BB over 19 starts and 108 innings. Cameron appears to have a favorable matchup against the Angels' offense, which ranks 21st in the league in runs and has sputtered over the past few weeks.

Kansas City Royals pitching prospect Noah Cameron was dominant in his most recent outing on Sunday afternoon against the New York Mets. In this outing, Cameron was given a no-decision as he tossed 6 2/3 shutout innings. He allowed seven hits and served up two free passes. He matched a season-high eight strikeouts. Since allowing five runs to the Los Angeles Dodgers on June 27, the southpaw has found his footing, logging 18 1/3 innings (three starts) to the tune of a stellar 0.98 ERA and a 0.98 WHIP. Through 70 total innings in the major leagues, the rookie has held his own, posting a 2.31 ERA with a 1.00 WHIP. During this stretch, he has struck out 58 batters while posting an above-average 8.0% walk rate. Given his strong debut, he will likely remain in the Kansas City rotation during the entire second half.

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Noah Cameron struck out seven over five shutout innings in a 3-2 loss to the Athletics. He allowed four hits and one walk. This was a nice bounce-back outing after giving up six runs in his last time out against the Yankees. Besides that one bad start, Cameron has allowed one run or less in all six of his other starts. The 25-year-old has been excellent to begin his big league career, posting a 1.91 ERA and .90 WHIP with 32 strikeouts in 42 innings. He'll look to keep things going in his next start, which is currently scheduled to be against the Padres.

Kansas City Royals rookie left-hander Noah Cameron will remain in the team's starting rotation for at least one more turn and face off against the visiting New York Yankees at Kauffman Stadium on Tuesday. The Royals are going with a six-man rotation for the time being after left-hander Cole Ragans returns from a stint on the injured list recently. Cameron, 25, has been outstanding for KC in his first five MLB starts, allowing only three earned runs on 15 hits (two homers) while walking 10 and striking out 19 in 31 2/3 innings pitched. However, his lack of control and 3.64 FIP how that he's been pretty fortunate to get away with a 0.85 ERA to this point. The young southpaw will look to keep things rolling this week, but fantasy managers should consider better streaming options than Cameron against the first-place Yankees.

Kansas City Royals left-handed pitching prospect Noah Cameron continued his incredible start to his MLB career on Thursday. Facing the St. Louis Cardinals, the southpaw tossed six shutout frames with two hits and two free passes. He struck out three. Through his first 31 2/3 innings in the majors, Cameron has posted a stellar 0.85 ERA with a 0.79 WHIP. Across this stretch, he has struck out just 19 batters but allowed just two long balls. While the 25-year-old has looked quite strong, his underlying metrics suggest he could be due for some regression. He currently sits with a 3.19 xERA and a .230 xBA. In addition, he has allowed hard contact at a modest 40.0% rate. With Cole Ragans back in action, the Royals could opt to send Cameron back to Triple-A to continue his development or shift Michael Lorenzen to a long relief role. However, given his productive start, fantasy managers should continue to hold Cameron on their bench as he will likely be given more opportunities in the major leagues.

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Noah Cameron tossed 6 1/3 innings of one-run ball in Wednesday's 3-2 win against the Cincinnati Reds. The rookie yielded six hits while striking out and walking two to notch his fourth straight quality start -- improving to 2-1. He was again solid, as he's allowed one earned run or fewer and gone more than six innings in each of his first four starts. Cameron may not miss many bats, but the 6.52 K/9 he bolstered heading into this start is much lower than the 10.42 he held last season. He may be slightly out-pitching his 1.05 ERA and 0.82 WHIP, but an xERA of 2.89 says regression may not hit him too hard. He'll look to keep the impressive start to his career going his next time out -- next week on the road against the St. Louis Cardinals. However, it's worth mentioning that's not a guarantee with teammate Seth Lugo (finger) set to return from the IL.

Kansas City Royals left-handed pitching prospect Noah Cameron is set to make a spot start on Saturday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Cameron will take the spot of Seth Lugo (finger), who is being given the weekend off due to inflammation in his right finger. Cameron made his MLB debut earlier this season and performed very well, tossing six 1/3 one-hit innings against the Athletics. In this start, he struck out three batters and walked five. Through 32 2/3 innings at Triple-A this season, the southpaw has posted a 3.31 ERA with a 1.13 WHIP. He has tallied 38 punchouts and walked 13 batters. Fantasy managers in deeper formats should view Cameron as a viable streaming option given his strong debut, but should not expect him to remain on the MLB roster following this start.

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Noah Cameron made his MLB debut against the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday. The 25-year-old earned the call-up after posting a 3.22 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, and 27/8 K/BB ratio across 22 1/3 innings in Triple-A. Cameron looked impressive on Wednesday as he tossed 6 1/3 scoreless innings against the Rays. He allowed only one hit in this outing, but he also walked five batters. The rookie southpaw clearly had some command issues, but that shouldn't take away from his solid outing. He figures to have some streaming appeal for a favorable matchup against the Chicago White Sox, assuming Cameron stays in the rotation.

The Kansas City Royals have officially promoted left-handed pitching prospect Noah Cameron from Triple-A Omaha ahead of his MLB debut on Wednesday. Cameron is slated to fill in for the injured Cole Ragans (groin) during Wednesday's contest against the Tampa Bay Rays. Cameron has enjoyed a solid start to the Triple-A regular season. Through his first 22 1/3 innings of work, the Central Arkansas product has held a 3.22 ERA with a strong 1.03 WHIP. He has struck out 27 batters and shown strong command as he has served up eight free passes. Last season at Triple-A, the southpaw posted an impressive 2.32 ERA with a 1.01 WHIP across 54 1/3 innings of work. Given his steady production at Triple-A, fantasy managers should consider adding Cameron as a streaming option on Wednesday ahead of his outing against the Rays.

Kansas City Royals pitching prospect Noah Cameron will be called up from Triple-A Omaha to make a spot start for the Royals on Wednesday against the Rays, which will be his major league debut. He'll take the place of Cole Ragans, who was originally scheduled to start but is dealing with a mild groin strain. It sounds like Ragans will avoid the IL for now, which means Cameron isn't expected to stick with the big league club beyond this start. Cameron just missed making the Opening Day roster and has been pitching well at Triple-A to start the year, posting a 3.22 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, and a 21.3 percent K-BB% across five starts (22 1/3 IP). The southpaw showed well at Triple-A last season as well, registering a 2.32 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, and a 23.8 percent K-BB% across nine starts (54 1/3 IP), so regardless of what happens Wednesday, we'll likely see him in the majors again later this season. The Rays have one of the lowest team batting averages against lefties, so Cameron could be a sneaky low-end DFS play for this contest.
