Impact Tapia has made five relief appearances at Triple-A Omaha this year, and he's allowed two runs in five innings. He'll lose his spot on the 40-man roster after the Royals traded for Matt Peacock on Sunday, but Tapia will likely remain in the organization if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

The reliever was an effective bullpen option for the Mariners and Royals last season, posting a 2.67 ERA and 1.19 WHIP. He'll look to recapture his control from 2021 while in the minors and return to the big-leagues at some point in the coming weeks.

Slips up in loss Tapia (4-1) gave up three runs on four hits in one-third of an inning, taking the loss Saturday versus Detroit.

Impact The right-hander has had few missteps this year, but he endured a big one during an ugly sixth inning Saturday. Tapia allowed consecutive singles before Miguel Cabrera and Jeimer Candelario combined to plate three runs on back-to-back doubles. That was enough to give Tapia his first big-league loss while ballooning his ERA to 2.61 with a 1.19 WHIP and 25:13 K:BB across 31 innings this season. He's now given up runs in each of his last two outings, but he was on a 13-inning scoreless streak prior to this series versus the Tigers.

Tapia saw his 13-inning scoreless streak end Friday, but he's still given up just three runs with a 20:11 K:BB in 25.2 innings since the start of August. He owns a 1.76 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 25:13 K:BB over 30.2 innings overall while gradually working into more high-leverage spots.

Collects third win Tapia (3-0) picked up the win in the second game of Monday's doubleheader sweep of Cleveland, striking out four over 1.2 perfect innings of relief.

Strong pitching lately Tapia logged a scoreless inning with one hit allowed and two strikeouts during Sunday's 6-0 win over the White Sox.

Impact The right-hander has yielded just two runs on six hits and 10 walks while striking out 13 in his last 15.1 innings. While the walk rate is concerning, Tapia has been successful at limiting the damage recently. He's pitched to an unsustainable 2.21 ERA with a 1.28 WHIP and 18:12 K:BB through 20.1 innings between Kansas City and Seattle this year. He's added a win and three holds with the Royals, but he's not likely to be in the closer committee despite the decent results.

Snares win over Houston Tapia (1-0) retired the only batter he faced to earn the win Wednesday versus Houston.

Impact The right-hander needed only four pitches to induce a fielder's choice off the bat of Jose Altuve to end the seventh inning. Tapia became the pitcher of record when Hunter Dozier restored Kansas City's lead in the home half of the frame. Through 13.1 innings between the Royals and the Mariners, Tapia has a 2.70 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 13:6 K:BB. He's become a fairly reliable low-leverage option for manager Mike Matheny.
