Jonathan Bowlan Expected To Start Season In Relief Role
Kansas City Royals right-handed pitcher Jonathan Bowlan is expected to start the season in a relief role. Bowlan has appeared in three MLB contests over the past two seasons and has been deployed as a starter in two of them. Across five 2/3 innings in the majors, Bowlan held a 7.94 ERA with a 2.47 WHIP. Throughout his time in the minor leagues, Bowlan has alternated between both roles. Last summer, the 28-year-old appeared in 35 contests with Triple-A and started 16 of them. Across 104 total frames, Bowlan posted a 4.67 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP. He tallied 98 punchouts and served up 34 free passes. Given his lack of MLB experience, fantasy managers should expect Bowlan to compete for a low-leverage relief role during camp. If he continues to struggle, he would then open the season as a reliever with Triple-A.
