Royals' Alec Marsh: To make MLB debut Friday

Marsh will be called up from Triple-A Omaha to start for the Royals on Friday versus the Dodgers, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.

Jordan Lyles was supposed to take that turn, but he's been scratched because of an illness. Marsh, a second-round pick in the 2019 First-Year Player Draft out of Arizona State, has pitched to a rather uninspiring 4.62 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 75:31 K:BB in 62.1 innings (14 starts) this season between Double-A Northwest Arkansas and Omaha. He's not a recommended fantasy streamer against Los Angeles.
