Daniel Lynch IV - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Decent work in no-decision Lynch allowed two runs on seven hits and struck out two without walking a batter over 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Guardians on Sunday.

Impact Lynch made his last 10 appearances of the season as a starter, but he had some struggles. He allowed nine home runs over 40 innings in those games while posting a 6.53 ERA in a starting role. Overall, he finished the campaign at a 6-6 record, 4.08 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 56:26 K:BB through 86 innings over 56 appearances. Lynch's success out of the bullpen compared to his poor showings as a starter could make it tough for him to stick in the rotation in future seasons.

Impact Lynch threw his first scoreless outing as a starter for the Royals since joining the rotation on August 7. The 29-year-old has been better as of late, pitching five innings his last three times on the mound for seven earned runs. As a starter, he has allowed 19 runs (18 earned) over 30.2 innings across eight starts. The left-hander is slated to pitch next week against the White Sox.

Picks up win Lynch (5-5) allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three over five innings to earn the win over the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.

Impact This was Lynch's first win since moving into the rotation after the trade deadline. He has seen mixed results as a starter, allowing 19 runs (18 earned) over 25.2 innings across his seven starts so far, though he has gone five innings in each of his last two outings. For the season, he's at a 3.52 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 49:22 K:BB across 71.2 innings. He's projected to make his next start at Houston.

Hammered early in loss Lynch (4-5) took the loss against the Blue Jays on Friday, allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk without recording a strikeout over five innings.

Impact Lynch was tagged for four runs in the first inning but did manage to settle in and log a season-high five innings. The 29-year-old also failed to record a strikeout for the first time in six outings since entering the rotation Aug. 7, and he owns an uninspiring 11:8 K:BB over that span. He'll carry a 3.51 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 46:20 K:BB across 66.2 innings this season into a home matchup with the Diamondbacks next week.

Labors in no-decision Lynch didn't factor into the decision against Cleveland on Saturday, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks in 3.1 innings. He struck out three.

Impact Most of the damage came via a second-inning two-run home run by Angel Martinez, and Lynch wasn't particularly efficient either. The left-hander did make progress on building himself up, however, as he reached the 70-pitch threshold for the first time this season on a positive note. He'll be aiming to increase his pitch count his next time out against Toronto, but Lynch now has a 6.32 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 11:7 K:BB in 15.2 innings since joining the rotation Aug. 7.

Season-long outing in no-decision Lynch took a no-decision against the Tigers on Sunday, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk in 4.1 innings. He struck out three.

Impact Lynch worked rather efficiently, tossing 38 of his 59 pitches for strikes, but he's not quite yet built up to handle a traditional starter's workload. Sunday still marked a season-long outing for the southpaw, who has struggled to a 6.57 ERA and 1.38 WHIP in 12.1 innings as a starter versus a 1.96 ERA and 0.93 WHIP in 46 frames as a reliever. Lynch, who has a 2.93 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 43:17 K:BB for the season, will be looking to reach the 60-pitcher marker for the first time this year his next time out against Cleveland.

Posts season-high workload Tuesday Lynch did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Athletics, allowing one run on two hits and two walks with one strikeout over four innings.

Impact Lynch allowed a run in the first inning but held the Athletics scoreless from there while throwing 27 of 45 pitches for strikes and generating just two whiffs. It was the 29-year-old's third straight start, and he completed four frames in an outing for the first time in more than two years. He owns a 2.83 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 41:16 K:BB across 54 innings this season and lines up for a home matchup with the Tigers this weekend.
