Royals' Kyle Zimmer: Back in bullpen

Through three outings (one start) this season, Zimmer has given up one run on five hits and two walks while striking out seven over six innings.

After making a two-inning start July 28 versus the Tigers, Zimmer has since moved back into his normal relief role with the Royals getting Jakob Junis and Brad Keller back from the COVID-19 injured list. Zimmer ended up being needed in relief in the Aug. 1 loss to the White Sox and made his longest appearance to date, covering three scoreless frames. Though the right-hander doesn't look like he'll factor into the Royals' unsettled closer situation, his prior starting experience in the minors should make him one of the team's preferred multi-inning arms out of the bullpen.
