The 7-6 Royals open a 10-game roadtrip in the eastern time zone tonight against the 6-6 Cleveland Guardians at 5:10pm US Central time. They’ve got three against CLE, three against NYY, and four against DET before coming back home on April 22.
Hunter Harvey was placed on the 15-day IL this afternoon, and Steven Cruz was called up in his place. I wonder if this means Daniel Lynch IV gets more high-leverage situations? I don’t know who’s next up in the bullpen.
Kris Bubic, who has allowed only one run so far this season, takes the hill for the Royals.
