Royals giving Lynch starting opportunities, will start vs. Cubs
KANSAS CITY – The Royals held onto a two-run lead entering the eighth inning Thursday night, and the top of the Twins order was due up. It was about as good of a spot as any for high-leverage lefty reliever Daniel Lynch IV.
But Lynch spent all of the Royals’ 4-3 loss to the Twins at Kauffman Stadium in the dugout and was unavailable out of the ‘pen. It wasn’t because of an injury, but because the Royals have a role shift in mind for the 29-year-old.
Lynch will start Friday night’s game against the Cubs and get an opportunity in the Royals’ rotation moving forward.
Royals To Give Daniel Lynch Rotation Opportunity
The Royals list southpaw Daniel Lynch IV as their probable starter for tomorrow’s series opener against the Cubs. He’ll oppose Kevin Gausman in the veteran righty’s team debut with Chicago.
It’s the first start of the season for Lynch. Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports that the Royals intend to give the 29-year-old lefty a legitimate rotation audition. Previous fifth starter Luinder Avila went down with an elbow injury and underwent Tommy John surgery.
The Royals needed someone to step into his rotation spot and essentially exhausted their depth. They’ve also lost Cole Ragans, Stephen Kolek, Ryan Bergert and Ben Kudrna for the season. Mitch Spence, who went on the Triple-A injured list on Monday, is their only depth starter on the 40-man roster.

Daniel Lynch tagged for four runs in loss to Cubs
Daniel Lynch allowed four earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out two in the Royals' 6-4 loss to Chicago.
After Friday's outing, Lynch has a 2.64 ERA and 1.01 WHIP with a 4-3 record, one save and 13 holds across 47 appearances. This was his first start since May 27, 2025. He made the rotation move amid all the Royals' injuries and couldn't keep his success going. He'll face the Dodgers next in a tough matchup.
