4/21/23 | Royals vs. Angels Friday game thread. The Royals embark on a ten-game road trip, which may be a good thing considering they have dropped 12 of 13 at home this year. Tonight the Royals will take on the Angels, but will face a daunting pitching matchup with Taylor Clarke scheduled to start in place of the injured Kris Bubic against one of the best pitchers in baseball in Shohei Ohtani. Ohtani has allowed just two runs in his four starts so far, and is allowing opponents to hit just .091/.268/.121. Clarke isn't stretched out, so expect him to fill an “opener” role, going an inning or two before handing off to lefty Ryan Yarbrough to sop up the middle innings.

8/10/22 | Not Enough Is Being Made of KC Royals' Taylor Clarke Loss. Prior to Tuesday's doubleheader split against the Chicago White Sox, the Kansas City Royals placed RHP Taylor Clarke on the 15-day injured list with a left oblique strain.

For a bullpen that ranks 28th in Major League Baseball with a 4.56 ERA, that's a serious blow. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/royals/opinion/not-enough-i... |
