James McArthur - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Back from injured list The Royals activated McArthur (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Sunday.

Impact McArthur began the year on the shelf and ultimately required a third elbow procedure in May to combat continued soreness and inflammation in the region. If he ends up pitching in Sunday's season finale for Kansas City, it will be McArthur's first big-league appearance since 2024.

Rusty in first rehab outing McArthur (elbow) allowed three runs on three hits and no walks with one strikeout across two-thirds of an inning in a rehab appearance with Double-A Northwest Arkansas on Wednesday...

Impact In his first game action since 2024 due to recurring right elbow injuries, McArthur got the first two outs of the seventh inning before surrendering a solo homer, then allowed the next two batters to reach and was lifted at 17 pitches (10 strikes). It's unclear how long the right-hander will spend on a rehab assignment after such a long layoff, but he still has time to rejoin the big-league bullpen before the regular season concludes.

Cleared for rehab games McArthur (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Northwest Arkansas on Wednesday.

Impact McArthur has not pitched anywhere since 2024, first due to surgery to repair a fractured right elbow and later because of an additional procedure on the elbow to combat recurring inflammation. He should rejoin the Royals' bullpen later this month if things go well on the reliever's rehab assignment.
