Lynch (shoulder) is scheduled to make his first rehab start Tuesday with Double-A Northwest Arkansas, Josh Vernier of 610 Sports Kansas City reports.

EDGE Analysis

Since Lynch has been on the 15-day injured list all season with a strained rotator cuff, he could need around 3-to-4 rehab starts to get stretched back out for a spot in the big-league rotation. If Lynch avoids any setbacks with his shoulder Tuesday, he'll likely move up to Triple-A Omaha next weekend for his second rehab outing.

Lynch (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Tuesday in Arizona, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lynch was placed on the 15-day injured list March 30 due to a strained rotator cuff, but he's seemingly trending in the right direction. It's unclear whether this is his first bullpen since suffering the injury, but the next steps in his rehab should become more clear following Tuesday's session.

Lynch (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to March 27.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander suffered a shoulder strain last week and will be sidelined for at least the first few weeks of the season. Lynch was shut down from throwing for 7-to-10 days, so he's poised to be re-evaluated in the near future.

Lynch is expected to land on the injured list after being diagnosed with a left shoulder strain, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lynch suffered the injury during the Royals' Cactus League game against the Padres on Thursday. He will be shut down for 7-10 days before being re-evaluated. The injury opens up a spot in Kansas City's rotation, with Kris Bubic being the most likely candidate to fill it.

Lynch was removed from Kansas City's Cactus League game against San Diego on Thursday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lynch seemed to know something was wrong immediately after throwing a pitch, pointing at his shoulder and motioning for a trainer to come onto the field. The team will look at his shoulder and provide further updates, but early signs are not reassuring for the 26-year-old lefty.

Lynch has made small changes in the offeseason to simplify his mechanics on the mound, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lynch said he wanted to do something small and simple after feeling a disconnect between his performance in bullpen sessions and in games. Rogers adds the southpaw is looking to differentiate his curveball and his slider. He struggled with the curve -- opposing hitters tagged him for a .471 batting average and a .529 slugging percentage off that pitch, though he threw it only 5.1 percent of the time. Lynch is in the mix for a rotation spot this spring, and how he performs during camp will likely determine if he begins the year in Kansas City or at Triple-A Omaha.

Lynch (4-13) took the loss Tuesday in Cleveland, allowing five runs on eight hits, two walks and a hit batsman while striking out two in 4.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Lynch held the Guardians scoreless through the first four innings despite allowing six baserunners. Things caught up to him in the fifth as five hits led to five runs, including a two-out, two-run homer by Owen Miller. All in all, 11 of the 24 batters he faced reached safely. Lynch finishes his first full season in the big leagues with a 5.13 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 122:52 K:BB in 131.2 innings.

Lynch (4-12) allowed two earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out four across six innings to take the loss Wednesday against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Lynch managed to complete six innings for only the fourth time this season, and for the first time since Aug. 17 -- a span of six starts. He tallied 13 swinging strikes on 101 total pitches, and his only blemish came on a two-run home run by Miguel Cabrera in the first inning. Lynch owns a 4.96 ERA and a 120:50 K:BB across 127 frames for the campaign.

Lynch did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk over four innings against Minnesota. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

Lynch allowed an RBI single from outfielder Matt Wallner to get the Twins on the board in the second inning, but Wallner's RBI double in the fourth wasn't earned as it was preceded by a Minnesota fielding error. The lefty has not impressed in his last seven starts, posting a 6.48 ERA and 1.77 WHIP over 33.1 innings. Furthermore, the 25-year-old has allowed two homers or more in four of his last nine outings.

Lynch (4-11) took the loss against Minnesota on Thursday, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out eight batters over five innings.

EDGE Analysis

All three runs against Lynch came via the long ball, as Carlos Correa launched a solo shot in the first inning and Nick Gordon swatted a two-run homer in the second. Lynch didn't allow a run over his final three frames, but the Royals were able to provide him with only two runs of support. On a positive note, the southpaw racked up 16 swinging strikes and finished with eight punchouts -- his most since June 17. He's struggled to a 5.15 ERA this season, and the long ball has been a problem of late, as Lynch has allowed multiple homers in all three of his September starts.
