Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Jakob Junis picked up the win on Thursday by throwing six good innings against Texas. Junis struck out seven and allowed two earned runs over the six frames, both on solo home runs. The win gives Junis four on the season, and he's starting to settle into a groove as a back-end starter. He's not worth a roster spot in most leagues, but he could be used as a spot starter in deep leagues. His start against the Red Sox next week would not be one of those recommend[...]

The game between the Kansas City Royals and New York Yankees has been postponed on Friday due to inclement weather. It will be made up as part of a split doubleheader on Saturday, May 25. Royals starter Jakob Junis and Yankees starter Chad Green will likely start one of the two games on Saturday. Make sure to take any players you may have on these teams out of your starting lineups on Friday night.

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Jakob Junis labored through 5 1/3 tough innings against the Astros on Monday before he was lifted from the game. Houston scored in four of the six innings in which Junis took the hill, and he allowed three home runs in the game. There was some early hype that Junis had some qualities that made him a possible sleeper this season, but it looks like he's settled into who he is for now. A below-average strikeout rate combined with tantalizing pitches that get regu[...]

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Jakob Junis may be coming around now. Seven days after holding the Rays to one run in five innings in Tampa, Junis held them to two runs in 6 1/3 innings in KC on [...]

Kansas City Royals starter Jakob Junis was solid in his performance Wednesday afternoon against the Tampa Bay Rays, but exited prematurely. This was due to a line drive that struck Junis on his right hand, with the Royals announcing the injury to be a right hand contusion. The 26-year-old had six strikeouts and one run allowed through five innings of work, his best start of the year. More updates will follow as the Royals provide further news on Junis' status.

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Jakob Junis continued to labor through the 2019 season as he was hit hard by the Yankees in a loss on Friday night.

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Jakob Junis was chased early by Seattle on Tuesday as he surrendered four earned runs in four innings. Junis gave up eight hits and walked one, but he also struck out six in the shortened outing. Junis was snakebit once again in this outing, and he's currently one of the unluckiest pitchers in the league so far this year. Junis has a BABIP of .409 against him so far, he's stranding 7% fewer runners than he did last year, and his xFIP is 2.5 runs lower than hi[...]

In his final spring training tune-up, Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Jakob Junis pitched well against the Rangers on Sunday. He gave up three runs over seven innings while striking out six and walking none. Junis is currently slated to be the team's No. 2 starter behind Brad Keller, and he's got some slight appeal in fantasy.
