EDGE Analysis

With the Royals taking on the Twins in a doubleheader Sunday, Junis will be called upon for a spot start. The 24-year-old had made two clean relief appearances for the big-league club earlier this season, but Sunday's start will be the first of his career. In five starts with Triple-A Omaha, Junis holds a 3.07 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and an impressive 36:7 K:BB ratio. He'll face a Twins team that has posted a collective .759 OPS as a team against right-handed pitching this season.
