Lynch's contract was selected by the Royals on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Lynch will make his major-league debut as the starter in Monday's game against Cleveland, so his addition to the active roster was expected. The left-hander posted a 3.10 ERA and 1.27 WHIP in 78.1 innings across 15 starts with High-A Wilmington in 2019. Right-hander Jake Newberry was optioned to Triple-A Omaha while Daniel Tillo (elbow) was placed on the 60-day injured list to make room for Lynch.
