Jordan Lyles - Page 2 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Impresses in no-decision Lyles pitched six scoreless innings against Detroit on Monday, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out four batters.

Impact Lyles was pretty efficient in the outing, needing just 83 pitches (55 of which were a strike) to get through six frames. All three of the hits he allowed were singles, and the right-hander notched his third quality start of the campaign. Lyles hasn't been rosterable in most fantasy formats this season with a 6.05 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 6.4 K/9, but he's at least eaten innings for the Royals, going six or more frames in nine of his 18 starts. Lyles has also shown improvement of late, posting a 3.13 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB over his past four starts spanning 23 innings.

Pitches well in no-decision Lyles allowed one run on six hits and no walks while striking out five batters over five innings in a no-decision against Cleveland on Thursday.

Impact Lyles was scratched from his scheduled start last Friday due to an illness but was well enough by Thursday to take the mound against the Guardians. The right-hander put together one of his best starts of the campaign, finishing with no walks for just the third time and allowing only one run, which came on a solo shot by Andres Gimenez in the second inning. Lyles has completed at least five frames in each of his past eight starts, though he hasn't been all that impressive over that span with a 5.60 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 31:13 K:BB over 45 innings.

Jordan Lyles made promising return for Kansas City Royals, but bullpen & offense faltered Here’s a recap of Thursday’s Royals-Guardians game, which featured a strong pitching performance from Jordan Lyles.

JULY 7, 2023 • KANSASCITY.COM

Cleared for Thursday Lyles (illness) is listed as the Royals' probable pitcher for Thursday's game against the Guardians at Progressive Field.

Impact As anticipated, Lyles is ready to make his 17th start of the season after he missed his previous turn through the rotation last weekend, when he was scratched against the Dodgers after falling ill. The 32-year-old right-hander is valued by the Royals for his ability to eat innings, but his 1-11 record and poor ratios (6.68 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 8.7 K-BB%) have rendered him mostly unusable in fantasy leagues.

Expected to start Thursday Lyles (illness) is expected to make his next start Thursday against the Guardians in Cleveland, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Impact After coming down with an illness this past Friday, Lyles ended up missing his turn through the rotation, but he looks like he's shown enough improvement over the last few days to avoid a trip to the 15-day injured list. Assuming Lyles checks out fine following a throwing session early this week, he shouldn't face any restrictions when he returns to the mound Thursday for the series opener at Progressive Field. Through 16 starts this season, Lyles is 1-11 with a 6.68 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and a 64:30 K:BB in 91.2 innings.

Scratched from start Friday Lyles was scratched from his scheduled start Friday versus the Dodgers due to an illness, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.

Impact Alec Marsh will be called up from Triple-A Omaha to start in place of Lyles, who should be able to slot back into the Royals' rotation next week. The 32-year-old has allowed the most earned runs (68) of any major-league pitcher this season.

Grabs first win of 2023 Lyles (1-11) earned the win Saturday, allowing four runs on eight hits and one walk over six innings in a 9-4 victory over Tampa Bay. He struck out two.

Impact Though it took 16 starts for Lyles to get into the win column, the victory came against the Rays, who have the best winning percentage in the American League. Despite the win, Lyles allowed four runs and tied his season low in punchouts. The MLB leader in losses has tallied a 7.23 ERA with a 28:16 K:BB in his last eight starts (42.1 innings). He's tentatively lined up for another tough matchup in his next start, taking on the Dodgers at Kauffman Stadium.

JUNE 24, 2023 • DEADSPIN.COM

No-decision despite quality start Lyles did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk over six innings against the Tigers. He struck out three.

Impact Lyles notched his second quality start of the year and first since April 17. The right-hander hasn't exactly been sharp in 2023, boasting a 6.72 ERA, but he has been able to eat up innings, completing at least five frames in 13 of his 15 outings (85.2 innings total). However, that alone isn't enough to warrant much fantasy attention, so until Lyles turns things around, he can safely be left on the waiver wire in standard leagues.

Hit hard for 11th loss Lyles (0-11) took the loss Tuesday, allowing five runs on five hits and three walks over six innings against Cincinnati. He struck out four.

Impact Lyles struggled to find the zone all evening, as just 51 of his 94 pitches went for strikes. All five runs allowed came in the second inning, as the Reds were able to bat around and took a lead they would not relinquish. Although Lyles did not allow a home run in the outing, he has been especially victimized by them all season, giving up two or more homers in seven of his 13 starts. His next scheduled start is for Monday against the Tigers.

First to double-digit losses Lyles (0-10) took the loss Wednesday as the Royals fell 6-1 to the Marlins, coughing up five runs on six hits and a walk over seven innings. He struck out two.

Impact The veteran right-hander gave the Kansas City bullpen a bit of a breather, but that's about the only silver lining to take away from this performance. Lyles tossed 56 of 85 pitches for strikes while becoming the first pitcher in the league to reach 10 losses -- no one else has more than seven -- and he also leads the majors with 18 homers allowed. He'll carry a 6.84 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 55:25 K:BB through 73.2 innings into his next start, likely to come at home early next week against the Reds.

Fans eight in no-decision Lyles allowed one run on two hits and a walk over five innings in Friday's loss to the Rockies. He struck out eight and did not factor in the decision.

Impact Lyles produced what was easily his best start of the year but got no run support. The 32-year-old forced a season-high 14 whiffs on 74 pitches but remains at 0-9 on the year. He's still sporting an unsightly 6.89 ERA through 66.2 frames on the year. Lyles is currently lined up to start in Miami next week.

Winless streak continues Lyles (0-9) took the loss Friday as the Royals were toppled 12-10 by the Nationals, giving up five runs on six hits and three walks over five-plus innings. He struck out two.

Impact The veteran right-hander was nursing a 2-1 lead through five innings, but both offenses erupted in the second half of the game, with Lyles getting chased by the three-run shot off the bat of Corey Dickerson. Lyles has served up multiple homers in seven of his 11 starts this season, getting tagged for 16 long balls over 61.2 innings in total to fuel his ghastly 7.30 ERA. He'll try to staunch the bleeding in his next outing, likely to come next week at home against the Rockies.

Serves up five runs in loss Lyles (0-8) took the loss Saturday, allowing five runs (four earned) on four hits and three walks over five innings during a 5-1 loss to the White Sox. He struck out five.

Impact Lyles has allowed four or more earned runs in eight of his last nine starts and holds a 7.15 ERA across his first 56.2 innings with the Royals. The veteran's 1.34 WHIP is consistent with previous years and suggests he could turn a corner soon, but he's never been considered an ace. Despite the struggles, Lyles is locked into Kansas City's rotation for the foreseeable future after signing a two-year, $17 million deal this offseason.

Hit hard for seven runs Lyles (0-7) took another loss Sunday, allowing seven runs on four hits and three walks over 2.1 innings against the White Sox. He struck out two.

Impact Sunday was easily Lyles' worst outing of the season. He let up one run through the first two frames on a Christian Yelich homer and then completely fell apart in the third. He faced seven batters in the inning, allowing three walks, two singles and a double, which amounted to another four runs for the Brewers before he was pulled. Two additional runs were charged to him after Jose Cuas allowed both inherited runners to score off a three-run blast by Brice Turang. Lyles' velocity noticeably dropped down to 88.8 MPH after he had been averaging 90.7 with his fastball for the year. He has allowed at least one homer in seven of his nine starts this year and now owns a 7.14 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 38:17 K:BB over 51.2 innings. He's lined up for a tentative start against the White Sox next weekend.

Takes loss in complete game Lyles (0-6) took the loss Tuesday, allowing four runs on six hits over nine innings in a 4-2 loss against the White Sox. He struck out six.

Impact Lyles needed 112 pitches to go the distance Tuesday. He had six clean innings, but the White Sox cashed in with a couple of homers and two-hit innings to put up four runs. The 32-year-old has a 6.20 ERA and 36 strikeouts in 49.1 innings on the season.
