Top James McArthur News

  • Royals' James McArthur: Expected to be ready for spring

    McArthur (elbow) is expected to be ready for the start of spring training, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    McArthur was diagnosed with a Grade 1 UCL sprain in his right elbow in mid-September, resulting in a premature end to his season. While a Grade 1 sprain is the least severe, there is always going to be some long-term concern when UCL damage is involved. For now, though, the expectation is McArthur will be ready for spring training after some rest and rehab.

  • Royals' James McArthur: Won't return in October

    McArthur (elbow) will not return in 2024, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    McArthur is being shut down after his attempts to rehab a Grade 1 UCL sprain have not gone well. The right-hander functioned as the Royals' closer for a large part of the year, racking up 18 saves in 25 chances with a 4.92 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 49:14 K:BB over 56.2 innings. Given the nature of his injury, it's unclear if he'll be ready to go from the start next spring.

  • Royals' James McArthur: Dealing with Grade 1 UCL sprain

    McArthur, who was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday, was diagnosed with a Grade 1 UCL sprain in his right elbow and will be shut down from throwing for 5-to-7 days, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    The 27-year-old won't be able to return before the end of the regular season, but manager Matt Quatraro is hopeful a playoff return is possible. That's likely an optimistic outlook for a UCL injury, but for now, McArthur has yet to be fully ruled out for 2024.

  • Royals' James McArthur: Goes on IL with sprained elbow

    The Royals placed McArthur on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right elbow sprain.

    A sprain indicates that he is dealing with ligament damage, although there's no word yet regarding the possibility of surgery. McArthur won't be eligible to return before the end of the season and also seems unlikely to be back for the postseason even if surgery isn't required. The former closer posted just a 6.87 ERA in the second half.

  • Royals' James McArthur: Falters in seventh inning

    McArthur (5-7) allowed four runs on three hits and a walk while failing to record an out versus the Yankees on Monday, taking the loss and a blown save.

    Entering Monday, McArthur had allowed just one run over his previous 11.2 innings after losing the closer job in early August. He couldn't find any traction in the seventh inning Monday, with Austin Wells' three-run home run being the big hit against McArthur. The right-hander is now at a 5.01 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 48:12 K:BB over 55.2 innings, though his ERA is 7.27 over 17.1 innings since the All-Star break.
