The Royals reassigned Lynch to their minor-league camp Monday.
Kansas City sent several of its top prospects back to minor-league camp Monday, as Lynch was reassigned along with infielder Bobby Witt, outfielder Kyle Isbel and pitcher Jackson Kowar. Lynch will likely open the 2021 campaign at Triple-A Omaha or Double-A Northwest Arkansas after posting a 2.99 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 96 strikeouts over 96.1 innings across three lower-level affiliates in 2019.
