• Royals' Kohl Stewart: Inks contract with Royals

  01/10/2023 • By RotoWire

  Stewart signed a minor-league contract with the Royals on Tuesday. The deal presumably includes an invitation to major-league spring training. Stewart didn't pitch anywhere in 2022 after missing a large portion of 2021 with an elbow injury, although it's unclear whether he wound up having surgery. The right-hander holds a career 4.88 ERA over 21 appearances -- nine starts -- at the big league level.

• Cubs' Kohl Stewart: Dropped from 40-man roster

  11/04/2021 • By RotoWire

  The Cubs outrighted Stewart (elbow) off their 40-man roster Wednesday. Stewart concluded the 2021 season on the 60-day injured list while he dealt with elbow inflammation, and the Cubs determined he wasn't worthy of being added back to the 40-man roster heading into the offseason. Before landing on the shelf in early July, Stewart made four appearances (three starts) for the Cubs, giving up eight earned runs on 17 hits and six walks over 13.2 innings.

  The Cubs placed Stewart on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with right elbow inflammation, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports. The righty's first half comes to an end after he allowed a homer, a walk and three unearned runs Monday against the Phillies. Stewart is eligible to return July 16 for the Cubs' first game after the break, but it's unclear whether he'll be ready. Elbow inflammation can often indicate a more serious injury, but there's yet to be any such word from the Cubs.

Stewart pitched four scoreless, hitless innings and struck out three in his only minor-league outing after being optioned June 12.
