Hahn earned the save by allowing one walk and one hit in a scoreless inning Monday against Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Hahn issued a walk and surrendered a single to begin the bottom of the ninth, but he quickly settled down, inducing a double play followed by a groundout to end the game. It was a bit surprising to see Hahn get the call in the ninth, though Greg Holland did struggle on Opening Day in a save situation. Hahn has allowed one run on two hits and two walks while fanning three over 2.1 frames in three relief appearances so far this season.

Hahn allowed one run on a hit and a walk and struck out two in one inning during Thursday's 14-10 win over the Rangers. He earned a hold in the appearance.

EDGE Analysis

Hahn was given the ball for the sixth inning, allowing an RBI single to Rangers designated hitter Eli White. The 31-year-old Hahn isn't expected to see much work in the late innings to start this season. He posted an impressive 0.52 ERA, 0.69 WHIP, three saves and five holds in 18 appearances last season. Should the likes of Greg Holland, Scott Barlow or Josh Staumont falter, Hahn could begin to take higher-leverage assignments.

Hahn agreed to a one-year, $1.75 million contract with the Royals on Tuesday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He will avoid arbitration with the Royals and will hit the open market after the 2021 season. Hahn logged a 0.52 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 19:8 K:BB in 17.1 innings (18 appearances) out of the bullpen last season and should compete for a high-leverage role in camp.

Hahn fired one scoreless inning Sunday as he earned the save against the Tigers. He allowed no hits and one walk while striking out three.

EDGE Analysis

Hahn was dominant throughout the 2020 season as he allowed just one run over 17.1 relief innings. During his final three outings, he was rewarded with a win and two saves. Although he had a smaller sample during the abbreviated season, the 31-year-old could compete for a fairly prominent role in the bullpen in 2021.

Hahn pitched a scoreless ninth inning with one walk and two strikeouts to earn the save in Friday's 3-2 win over the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Hahn walked Niko Goodrum, but whiffed Brandon Dixon and Eric Haase after that to escape the danger. It was Hahn's second save of the season to go with five holds, a 0.55 ERA and 0.67 WHIP in 16.1 innings. With Greg Holland (oblique) on the injured list to close out the year, Hahn could be in the mix if any save opportunities arise over the last two days of the season.

Hahn struck out the only two batters he face to record the save during Saturday's 9-6 win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Ian Kennedy began the ninth inning with a 9-3 lead, but he surrendered three runs (two earned) before getting lifted with an apparent injury, allowing Hahn the chance to notch the first save of his career in clean-up duty. Hahn has been solid in limited action for the Royals this season, allowing one hit with a 7:3 K:BB across five innings. The 31-year-old had never even recorded a hold in his career prior to Saturday, and he's unlikely to be a factor for the closer's role after the departure of Trevor Rosenthal.

The Royals reinstated Hahn (personal) from the paternity list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Kansas City will designate Hahn as its 29th man for Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Reds, and since he doesn't have any minor-league options remaining, the Royals will likely bump someone else off the active roster at the conclusion of the twin bill. Hahn has yet to make his 2020 debut after he left the team shortly before the conclusion of summer camp due to the unexpected death of his mother.

The Royals reinstated Hahn (personal) from the restricted list Monday and transferred him to the paternity list, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction will result in Hahn moving back on to the 40-man roster, but it otherwise won't impact his timeline for rejoining the big club. Hahn has yet to make his 2020 debut after leaving the team shortly before the conclusion of summer camp following the passing of his mother.

Royals manager Mike Matheny said Monday that he expects Hahn (personal) to report to the team's alternate training site to resume workouts soon, Lynn Worthy of The Kansas City Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hahn left the team days before its season opener following the passing of his mother. The Royals are giving the right-hander as much time as he needs to tend to the personal matter, so Matheny was unwilling to pinpoint a target date for Hahn's return to team activities. He remains on the restricted list and won't count against the 40-man roster until he's activated.

Hahn (personal) was placed on the bereavement list Thursday, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hahn will be away from the Royals for some time while he mourns the unexpected death of his mother.
