Lynch (hand) struck out six over four innings and allowed one earned run on two hits and no walks in his rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Omaha.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw tossed 54 pitches Tuesday, so he could require only one more rehab start this weekend to get fully stretched out before the Royals activate him from the 15-day injured list. Lynch was placed on the IL on July 17 due to a blister on his pitching hand.

Lynch (hand) will report to Triple-A Omaha on Monday to begin a rehab assignment.

EDGE Analysis

Lynch landed on the shelf July 17 with a blister on his pitching hand, but he's now healthy and will head to the minors to ramp up before being reactivated. The left-hander won't be eligible to rejoin the Royals until Aug. 1, and it's unclear if he'll require a second rehab outing after Monday's appearance.

The Royals placed Lynch on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a blister on his pitching hand.

EDGE Analysis

Lynch is back on the IL for the second time in less than a month on account of a blister, after he was previously deactivated June 24 due to an abrasion on his left index finger. The Royals haven't specified which digit is bothering Lynch this time around, though he sustained a cut to his left middle finger in his first start back from the IL on July 11. Lynch was ultimately able to make a second straight turn through the rotation in Saturday's game in Toronto, but he failed to escape the fourth inning and may have still been afflicted by the blister during the outing. As a result of his return to the IL, Lynch won't be eligible to pitch for the Royals until Aug. 1.

Lynch gave up three earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five over 3.2 innings in a 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Blue Jays on Saturday. He did not factor into the decision

EDGE Analysis

It was another lackluster performance for Lynch, who gave up three earned runs on only 76 pitches. The 25-year-old left-hander was pulled from the game in the fourth after giving up three singles and a walk in the inning to tie the game at 3-3. Lynch has struggled with control all season long and is walking 4.2 batters per nine frames.

EDGE Analysis

After a near-minimum-length stay on the injured list due to a blister on his left index finger, Lynch returned to the mound for Monday's doubleheader with the Tigers. He took the hill for Game 2 and worked four innings while allowing three runs (two earned) before departing with another injury to a digit on his left hand. This time around, Lynch suffered a cut on his left middle finger, but he appears to have completed his between-starts bullpen session without any major discomfort. He shouldn't have any restrictions as he returns to the rubber Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Lynch noted after the game that the cut was unrelated to the blister that sent him to the injured list at the end of June. He'll likely be re-evaluated in the coming days to determine whether he can make his next start, which would tentatively line up for Saturday in Toronto.

Lynch (finger) was activated from the 15-day injured list and is expected to start Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader versus the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Lynch will make his return to the big leagues Monday after he missed over two weeks while nursing a blister on his throwing hand. The left-hander isn't expected to be on a pitch limit and he'll take on the Tigers for the first time this season. Prior to being placed on the IL, Lynch had produced a 1.86 ERA with 15 strikeouts over 9.2 frames in his last two starts.

The Royals plan to activate Lynch (finger) from the 15-day injured list to have him start the second game of Monday's home doubleheader with the Tigers, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kansas City will likely wait until the first game of the twin bill is completed before formally activating Lynch, but the southpaw looks like he'll line up for a two-start week upon his return from the IL. Lynch, who was sidelined for just over the minimum 15 days with a blister on his left index finger, isn't expected to face any major workload restrictions Monday. Prior to landing on the shelf, Lynch went 3-7 while generating a 4.95 ERA and 1.54 WHIP in 63.2 innings across his 13 starts.
