Jakob Junis, Brad Keller Nearing Returns To Mound
The Kansas City Royals are getting closer to having their two best starting pitchers back in their rotation. Manager Mike Matheny confirmed that right-hander Jakob Junis would make his season debut Sunday, while Keller will be back in the near future. While Junis compiled a 5.24 ERA last season, he was Kansas City’s winningest pitcher, having also racked up a team-best 164 strikeouts. Owners may want to wait to let him find his footing rather than rostering him in a stout matchup against the White Sox, but there’s one reason for optimism around Keller, who produced a starting staff-best 4.19 ERA from last year. Both starters remain two-start candidates in most season-long formats at best until they showcase their stuff in 2020.
