The long-awaited debut of the KC Royals’ No. 1 pitching prospect is about here.

Some of the KC Royals may not sleep well tonight.

Heading the list of potentially sleepless Kansas City ballplayers is Daniel Lynch, the promising young lefthander who just happens to be the organization’s premier pitching prospect according to MLB Pipeline’s latest rankings. That’s because Lynch, 24, won’t be preparing to start his 2021 season Tuesday at Triple-A Omaha; instead, he’ll take the mound at Kauffman Stadium Monday night.

The Royals have called him up.
