Royals' Jackson Kowar: To attend big-league camp

Kowar will join the Royals' major-league squad for spring training.

Were it not for the minor-league season being canceled last year, Kowar could be knocking on the door of the big leagues already or could potentially have already debuted. He closed 2019 with 13 starts for Double-A Northwest Arkansas, recording a 3.51 ERA. He may not be given serious consideration for an Opening Day roster spot, but he stands a good chance of debuting this year if he looks good in the minors.
