Lynch received an invitation Friday to the Royals' major-league spring training.
The 24-year-old was included in Kansas City's 60-man player pool for 2020 but didn't end up seeing the field. Lynch had a 3.10 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 77:23 K:BB over 78.1 innings at High-A in 2019, so he's likely ticketed for Double-A or Triple-A to begin 2021.
