Royals will start Matt Strahm on Thursday
The Kansas City Royals will start pitcher Matt Strahm Thursday versus the Los Angeles Angels.
What It Means:
The Royals are pulling rookie Eric Skoglund from the rotation after a pair of rough outings. Strahm, who has been working out of the bullpen this season, will take his place and have a good chance to stick in the rotation long-term. He will be limited to 70 pitches as he gets stretched out in his first start on Thursday.
Strahm started 18 games for Double-A in 2016, posting a 3.43 ERA and 1.22 WHIP, while striking out 107 in 102 1/3 innings pitched.
