Josh Staumont - Page 2 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Placed on IL with neck strain Kansas City placed Staumont on the 15-day injured list Wednesday, retroactive to June 6, with a neck strain.

Impact Staumont will be out of action for two weeks while he recovers from the strain. The right-hander has been replaced on the roster by Austin Cox, with Cox heading up from Triple-A in a corresponding transaction. Staumont has struggled again thus far in 2023 with a 5.40 ERA and 1.45 WHIP over 21 appearances and 20 innings of work.

Serving as Monday's opener Staumont will serve as the opener during Monday's series opener in St. Louis, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Impact Staumont struggled in Friday's appearance against the Nationals, allowing four runs on three hits and two walks while striking out one in one inning. He's served exclusively as a reliever in the majors but will begin Monday's game on the mound, while Mike Mayers expects to serve as the primary pitcher.

Recalled from Triple-A The Royals recalled Staumont from Triple-A Omaha on Friday.

Impact After impressing during spring training with a 1.13 ERA over eight innings and throwing four scoreless frames in Triple-A to start the season, Staumont will get another crack at the big leagues. He will fill the roster spot previously held by Dylan Coleman, who was optioned to Omaha on Thursday.

Misses Opening Day roster Staumont was optioned to Triple-A Omaha on Saturday.

Impact Staumont is a surprising omission from the Opening Day roster. He pitched to a 1.13 ERA and 10:5 K:BB across eight innings during Cactus League play, though the walk issues are a carryover from 2022. Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports manager Matt Quatraro told Staumont that he needs to work on getting ahead in counts. It's expected he'll be with the big club again at some point in the season, though the Royals boast bullpen depth that has been lacking in recent years.

Expected to pitch in spring opener Staumont (biceps) is among the Royals relievers who is expected to pitch in Friday's Cactus League opener versus the Rangers, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Impact Staumont spent the final six weeks of the 2022 season on the injured list with right biceps tendinitis, but he looks to be back to full strength for spring training and should open the upcoming campaign in a high-leverage relief role for Kansas City. Though he's picked up eight saves across the past two years and owns a career 26.1 percent strikeout rate in the majors, Staumont will face a tougher path to the closing gig in 2023 now that the Royals have added Aroldis Chapman to the roster to challenge Scott Barlow -- who saved 24 games last season -- for the gig.

Inks one-year deal Staumont (biceps) signed a one-year, $1.025 million contract with the Royals on Friday to avoid arbitration, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact Staumont put up an ugly 6.45 ERA over 42 appearances in 2022 before his season ended prematurely due to a biceps issue. The Royals will be hoping for better health and better results in 2023, and the 29-year-old right-hander is still a likely candidate to fill a high-leverage role.
