  • Royals' Alec Marsh: Inefficient in ninth loss

    Marsh (8-9) took the loss versus the Tigers on Wednesday, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and three walks while striking out five over 2.2 innings.

    Marsh needed 73 pitches (39 strikes) to get eight outs in a poor start. It's a step back after his one-run, 11-strikeout effort versus the Pirates last Friday, and it's the poorest of his five outings since he rejoined the big-league rotation in late August. Marsh is now at a 4.65 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 121:39 K:BB over 124 innings across 25 appearances (24 starts) this year. Michael Lorenzen (hamstring) lasted 3.1 innings in a rehab start last Friday with Triple-A Omaha, but he also experienced more than the usual soreness after that outing. The last spot in the Royals' rotation is due up again on the road versus the Nationals, and it's unclear if Marsh is in contention for that start, which would likely be his last of the regular season if he gets it.

  • Royals' Alec Marsh: Strikes out 11 in win

    Marsh (8-8) earned the win Friday over the Pirates, allowing one run on five hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out 11.

    Marsh was dominant Friday, holding Pittsburgh to a lone sixth-inning run while matching a career high with 11 strikeouts. In three starts since he was recalled from Triple-A, Marsh has allowed six runs while logging 21 strikeouts across 15.1 innings. His ERA sits at 4.52 through 121.1 innings this season with a 1.23 WHIP and 116:36 K:BB. He will likely get one more start before Michael Lorenzen (hamstring) comes off the IL -- Marsh is currently lined up to face the Tigers at home in his next outing.

  • Royals' Alec Marsh: Decent in no-decision

    Marsh allowed two runs on four hits and struck out five without walking a batter over five innings, taking a no-decision versus the Twins on Saturday.

    Marsh threw 60 of 84 pitches for strikes in a decent start, but he received almost no help while he was in the game. The Twins put up both runs against him in the third inning, and it took until the eighth for the Royals to offer a response. Over his last three outings, Marsh has given up nine runs (seven earned) over 14.2 innings, which is a little more stability than he offered in July before he lost his spot in the rotation. Overall, he's at a 4.66 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 105:34 K:BB through 116 innings over 23 appearances (22 starts). Marsh is tentatively projected to make his next start at Pittsburgh.

  • Royals' Alec Marsh: Filling in for Lorenzen again

    Marsh is scheduled to start Saturday's game against the Twins in Kansas City.

    He'll be making his second straight turn through the rotation as a replacement for Michael Lorenzen (hamstring), who was placed on the injured list Aug. 28. Through 22 appearances (21 starts) for the Royals this season, Marsh has gone 7-8 with a 4.70 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 100:34 K:BB in 111 innings.

  • Royals' Alec Marsh: Hurt by homers in loss

    Marsh (7-8) took the loss Sunday against the Astros, allowing three runs on four hits and a walk while striking out five over five innings.

    Marsh held the Astros scoreless through three innings but came apart in the fourth after allowing home runs to Yordan Alvarez and Jon Singleton to give the Astros a 3-0 lead. The 26-year-old righty has now allowed a home run in seven of his last eight starts while reaching five innings in only half of them. Marsh holds a 4.70 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 100:34 K:BB in 111 innings and lines up for a key home start against the Twins over the weekend, assuming he sticks in the rotation.

  • Royals' Alec Marsh: Promoted for Sunday's start

    The Royals recalled Marsh from Triple-A Omaha to start Sunday's game against the Astros.

    The right-hander allowed four runs (two earned) over 4.2 innings during a spot start in a doubleheader Aug. 26 against the Guardians, and he'll re-enter the Royals rotation for Sunday's series finale in Houston. Marsh has a 4.67 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 95:33 K:BB across 106 innings this season, and he could see additional starts beyond Sunday with Michael Lorenzen (hamstring) recently landing on the injured list.

  • Royals' Alec Marsh: Back to Triple-A

    Marsh was returned to Triple-A Omaha after serving as the 27th man for Monday's doubleheader against Cleveland. He didn't factor into the decision, allowing four runs (two earned) on five hits and one walk while striking out two across 4.2 innings.

    As expected, Marsh will be sent back to the minors after making a spot start in Game 2 of Monday's twin bill. He struggled to begin the outing, surrendering three runs (two earned) in the first inning, but he managed to settle down and keep his club in the game, allowing the Royals to ultimately walk away with a 9-4 victory. The 26-year-old owns a 4.67 ERA and 1.25 WHIP with 95 strikeouts over 106 innings so far this season (21 appearances).

  • Royals' Alec Marsh: Recalled for spot start

    The Royals recalled Marsh from Triple-A Omaha on Monday.

    Marsh will draw a spot start in the second game of Monday's doubleheader in Cleveland. The right-hander is serving as the 27th man on the roster and is likely to be sent back down to Triple-A following the outing. Marsh has posted a 4.71 ERA and 93:32 K:BB covering 101.1 innings for Kansas City in 2024.

  • Royals' Alec Marsh: In line for spot start Monday

    Marsh is scheduled to be called up from Triple-A Omaha to start the second game of Monday's doubleheader in Cleveland, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    The Royals are expected to designate Marsh as their 27th man for the twin bill, so he'll most likely be returned to Omaha immediately after his start Monday. Marsh will be rejoining the big club for the first time since late July, when he lost his spot in the rotation following the Royals' trade-deadline addition of Michael Lorenzen. Over his 20 outings (19 starts) with Kansas City prior to his demotion, Marsh accrued a 4.71 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 93:32 K:BB in 101.1 innings.
