## Resource

The Royals’ August surge masks a troubling experiment: Daniel Lynch, once a bullpen ace, is struggling as a starter with an ERA over six and rising walk rates. While his ground-ball prowess and clutch reliever instincts remain intact, his strikeout woes and increased hard contact as a starter suggest the role isn’t a fit. The team may be forced to keep him in this unfamiliar spot due to injuries, but long-term, his best path forward remains in the bullpen where he thrived.
