Mandatory Credit: Rick Scuteri-Imagn Images The Kansas City Royals placed right-hander Michael Lorenzen on the 15-day injured list Monday with a left oblique strain.
The move is retroactive to Friday, with Lorenzen last pitching July 6 when he dominated with seven scoreless innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks, while allowing two hits.
Lorenzen, 33, is 5-8 with a 4.61 ERA in 18 starts this season. In 11 career seasons with the Cincinnati Reds (2015-21), Los Angeles Angels (2022), Detroit Tigers (2023), Philadelphia Phillies (2023), Texas Rangers (2024) and Royals, he is 52-52 with a 4.06 ERA in 386 appearances (111 starts).
A corresponding move is expected later this week. The Royals resume play after the All-Star break on Friday on the road against the Miami Marlins.
