Out with neck strain Staumont was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday, retroactive to June 23, with a neck strain.
Impact Staumont hasn't pitched since giving up two runs over one-third of an inning Tuesday against the Angels, and he's apparently dealing with a neck injury. The 28-year-old will be eligible to be activated July 8, though it's unclear if he's expected to be healthy by that time.

Notches fourth hold Staumont struck out one in a perfect inning to earn a hold in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Orioles.
Impact Staumont has settled down lately with a six-inning scoreless streak in his last six appearances. He's allowed three hits and two walks while striking out six in that span. The right-hander has a 3.18 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 30:11 K:BB across 22.2 innings overall. He's added a 2-1 record, three saves, four holds and three blown saves as one of the Royals' primary options for saves, though Scott Barlow remains the favorite. Given the Royals are near the bottom of the overall major-league standings, fantasy managers may want to invest in bullpens with more save chances to go around.

Witt Jr. hits 3 doubles, ups extra-base count, KC tops Twins

Secures second win Staumont (2-1) pitched a perfect inning and struck out two to earn the win Thursday versus the Twins.
Impact Staumont retired the side on 13 pitches (nine strikes) in the seventh inning, and the Royals rallied for the lead in the eighth. This was a solid bounce-back outing for Staumont, who took his first loss of the year in his last appearance May 22, which also came against the Twins. The right-hander now has a 4.08 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 26:9 K:BB with three saves, three blown saves and two holds in 17.2 innings. While Staumont pitched well, Scott Barlow was able to add a two-inning save Thursday -- both relievers are expected to continue sharing closing duties on a matchup basis as they have for much of the season.

Handed loss Sunday Staumont (1-1) took the loss Sunday versus the Twins. He allowed two runs on two hits and two walks with two strikeouts in one inning.

Notches third save Staumont struck out one in a perfect ninth inning to record his third save of the season in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the White Sox.
Impact Scott Barlow had pitched on three of the prior four days including Sunday and Monday, so Staumont got the call in the save situation and needed 16 pitches (12 strikes) to convert it. It's his first save since April 19, and the 28-year-old will remain second in line for ninth-inning duty as long as Barlow remains effective. On the season, Staumont sports a 3.68 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB through 14.2 innings.

Salvador Perez hit a two-run single in the ninth to put Staumont in line for the win, and Scott Barlow was able to finish off the save. In his last eight outings, Staumont has surrendered four runs, nine hits and four walks. His win Sunday was his first decision of the year to go with two saves, two blown saves and a hold, and he's logged a 3.95 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 20:7 K:BB in 13.2 innings.

Inconsistent in May Staumont has allowed two runs in his last 3.2 innings.
Impact Staumont has seen inconsistency creep into his pitching since late April -- he's allowed runs in four of his last seven outings. Two of those instances resulted in blown saves, which has allowed Scott Barlow to reclaim a stronger grip on the closer role. Staumont has a 4.26 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 19:7 K:BB while adding two saves and a hold through 12.2 innings this season.

Takes blown save Staumont allowed a run on two hits in one inning, taking a blown save Thursday versus the White Sox.
Impact Staumont allowed a pair of singles to open the eighth inning, then yielded a run on a sacrifice fly before escaping trouble. It counts as his second blown save in 10 appearances, though he's also secured two saves and a hold. The right-hander has a 4.00 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 12:4 K:BB across nine innings while sharing closing duties with Scott Barlow.
