Royals Place Josh Staumont On Injured List
3 years agoThe Kansas City Royals placed right-handed pitcher Josh Staumont on the injured list on Thursday due to undisclosed reasons and recalled Scott Blewett from Triple-A Omaha in a corresponding move. It's very possible that this move is COVID-19-related, which means that Staumont could be back within 10 days. The reliever also went on the injured list back in April because of what was described as a reaction to the vaccine. Staumont has been a useful late-inning reliever for the Royals, successfully converting all five of his save chances while adding nine holds, 57 strikeouts, 21 walks, a 3.42 ERA, .205 opponent's batting average and a 1.18 WHIP in 50 innings. Although Scott Barlow blew his last save opportunity on Wednesday, he remains the favorite for saves in KC.
