The Kansas City Royals have swapped pitchers with the Astros, sending right-hander Dylan Coleman to Houston in exchange for minor league right-hander Carlos Mateo

Optioned to Triple-A Coleman was optioned to Triple-A Omaha after Monday's game.

Impact Coleman's season struggles continued Monday when he allowed a walk-off home run after hitting a batter in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Athletics. With his demotion, Zack Greinke was reinstated off the injured list in a corresponding move.

AUGUST 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets walked off Coleman (0-2) allowed two runs on one hit and a hit-by-pitch without recording an out to take the loss Monday versus the Athletics.

Impact Coleman plunked Ryan Noda and then served up a walk-off two-run home run to Brent Rooker in the ninth inning. The right-hander has nine appearances in August, but he's completed an inning in just three of them. He's given up five runs (four earned) over 5.2 frames this month, and a 7:7 K:BB and four hit batsmen indicates unsteady control. Overall, Coleman has an 8.84 ERA, 2.02 WHIP and 21:19 K:BB through 18.1 innings this season.

AUGUST 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes first loss Coleman (0-1) allowed an unearned run on a hit and a walk while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning, taking the loss Wednesday versus the Mariners.

Impact Coleman loaded the bases with an error, a hit and a walk, and then yielded a sacrifice fly. The Mariners held the lead the rest of the way, sticking Coleman with his first loss in 21 major-league appearances this year. He's avoided taking more defeats simply because the Royals are often already behind when he pitches. For the year, he's managed an awful 8.31 ERA, 2.02 WHIP and 20:18 K:BB through 17.1 innings, though he's also managed to earn four holds. Coleman could still see some high-leverage work, as the Royals' bullpen has been a weakness from top to bottom all year.

AUGUST 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Opening Friday Coleman will serve as the Royals' opener for Friday's game against the Cardinals, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Impact Coleman will be making his first career major-league start Friday, though he will likely only remain in the game for an inning or two before handing things over to Angel Zerpa, who will pitch bulk innings. Coleman hasn't performed very well in the majors this season, accumulating a 10.05 ERA and 2.09 WHIP through 14.1 frames.

Royals put struggling Zack Greinke on 15-day IL with shoulder tendinitis

Recalled from Omaha Kansas City recalled Coleman from Triple-A Omaha on Wednesday.

Impact Coleman has surrendered 10 earned runs on seven hits and seven walks in just five innings of relief this season at the major-league level, but the Royals are desperate for fresh arms. He'll presumably operate in a low-leverage bullpen role.

JULY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sent down to Triple-A Coleman was optioned to Triple-A Omaha by the Royals on Thursday.

Impact Coleman came into the season seemingly poised for an integral late-inning relief role following a nice 2022 campaign. He really struggled in his first five innings this year, though, getting pummeled for 10 runs with a 5:7 K:BB. Coleman is a good bet to bounce back but will work out the kinks at Omaha for a while.

APRIL 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Decent work in spring Coleman has allowed one earned run on four hits and three walks while striking out six over three innings across three Cactus League appearances.

Impact Coleman was one of the Royals' more effective relievers in 2022, posting a 2.78 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, 71:37 K:BB and 16 holds over 68 games. The walk issues are still popping up this spring, and Coleman's 3.87 FIP last year suggests regression could be on the way if he can't improve at limiting baserunners.

MARCH 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs win Tuesday Coleman (5-2) gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless inning to earn the win Tuesday over the Twins.

Impact This was Coleman's first appearance since he took a loss Friday versus the Red Sox, and he bounced back well. He worked the seventh inning and ended up in line for the win when Salvador Perez put the Royals ahead with an RBI double. Coleman has been scored upon in only five of his 24 appearances since the All-Star break. He owns a 2.61 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 64:36 K:BB with 14 holds through 62 innings this season.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Tagged with loss Coleman (4-2) allowed two runs on two walks in one-third of an inning, taking the loss Friday versus the Red Sox.

Impact Coleman walked two of the first three batters in the eighth inning, and closer Scott Barlow allowed both of those runners to score. Coleman's only other loss this year came back on May 1. He saw a 9.1-inning scoreless streak snapped with the sloppy outing Friday, which also lifted his ERA to 2.66 with a 1.25 WHIP and 63:36 K:BB through 61 innings this year. He's added 13 holds and two blown saves while emerging as a setup man for the Royals, though their poor play has offered him few chances to pitch with a lead.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Snags third win Coleman (3-1) pitched a perfect inning to earn the win Saturday over the Red Sox.

Impact Coleman did his part to keep the game tied in the ninth inning, and he became the pitcher of record when Nick Pratto hit a two-out, walkoff solo home run in the bottom of the frame. Since the start of July, Coleman has allowed four runs (three earned) in 13.2 innings while adding five holds as he continues to work his way into a higher-leverage role. For the season, he owns a 2.80 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 44:31 K:BB in addition to nine holds through 45 innings.

AUGUST 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Comes off restricted list The Royals reinstated Coleman (personal) from the restricted list Monday.

Impact Coleman was one of 10 Royals players who will rejoin the 26-man active roster after being ineligible to play during the four-game weekend series in Toronto due his vaccination status. He closed the Royals' first-half schedule with a 3.13 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 38:28 K:BB across 37.1 innings in relief while scooping up two wins and seven holds.

JULY 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Moved to restricted list The Royals placed Coleman (personal) on the restricted list Thursday.

Impact Coleman is one of 10 Royals on the 26-man active roster who won't be eligible for the four-game series in Toronto due to his vaccination status. He'll be formally reinstated from the restricted list for the Royals' first game coming out of the All-Star break July 22 against Tampa Bay. Infielder Maikel Garcia was called up from Double-A Northwest Arkansas to temporarily replace Coleman on the active roster.

JULY 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Unable to pitch in Toronto Coleman is unable to travel to Canada for the four-game series in Toronto this weekend due to his vaccination status, so he'll be placed on the restricted list Wednesday, Anne Roge...

Impact The Royals have 10 players heading to the restricted list for their weekend series, but Coleman is the team's only reliever that is expected to be unavailable due to being unvaccinated. The team will likely call up some relievers to serve as bullpen depth ahead of the All-Star break.

JULY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Clean inning in Wednesday's win Coleman struck out one in a perfect inning during Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Astros, earning a hold.

Impact Since the start of June, Coleman has a 2.77 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 12:7 K:BB across 13 innings, though he's also picked up four of his five holds this year in that span. The right-hander's biggest issue is a high walk rate -- he's posted a 6.5 BB/9 this year, which is a trouble that's followed him from the minors. He's pitched to a decent 3.51 ERA, but a 1.38 WHIP and 36:24 K:BB in 33.1 innings this year are concerning enough to likely keep him stuck in middle relief.

JULY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Collects second win Coleman (2-1) walked one and struck out none in a scoreless inning to earn the win Tuesday versus the Angels.

Impact Coleman successfully kept the game tied in the 10th inning, and the Royals pulled ahead in the 11th. Across eight innings in June, Coleman has allowed one run, three hits and six walks with nine strikeouts. He's added two holds and a win in that span, though control remains an issue for the hard-throwing right-hander. Overall, he's logged a 3.18 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, three holds and a 33:23 K:BB in 28.1 innings this season without presenting much of a challenge to Scott Barlow's closer role.
