Hammel (elbow) tossed two scoreless innings in his spring debut Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

He allowed two hits and hit a batter, but Hammel kept the Reds quiet Saturday. After logging 166.2 innings in the Cubs' rotation last season, the Royals are hoping that Hammel can offer up five-plus frames every fifth day this season in their quest to find ample rotation depth for 2017.
