Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Noah Cameron made his MLB debut against the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday. The 25-year-old earned the call-up after posting a 3.22 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, and 27/8 K/BB ratio across 22 1/3 innings in Triple-A. Cameron looked impressive on Wednesday as he tossed 6 1/3 scoreless innings against the Rays. He allowed only one hit in this outing, but he also walked five batters. The rookie southpaw clearly had some command issues, but that shouldn't take away from his solid outing. He figures to have some streaming appeal for a favorable matchup against the Chicago White Sox, assuming Cameron stays in the rotation.

The Kansas City Royals have officially promoted left-handed pitching prospect Noah Cameron from Triple-A Omaha ahead of his MLB debut on Wednesday. Cameron is slated to fill in for the injured Cole Ragans (groin) during Wednesday's contest against the Tampa Bay Rays. Cameron has enjoyed a solid start to the Triple-A regular season. Through his first 22 1/3 innings of work, the Central Arkansas product has held a 3.22 ERA with a strong 1.03 WHIP. He has struck out 27 batters and shown strong command as he has served up eight free passes. Last season at Triple-A, the southpaw posted an impressive 2.32 ERA with a 1.01 WHIP across 54 1/3 innings of work. Given his steady production at Triple-A, fantasy managers should consider adding Cameron as a streaming option on Wednesday ahead of his outing against the Rays.

Kansas City Royals pitching prospect Noah Cameron will be called up from Triple-A Omaha to make a spot start for the Royals on Wednesday against the Rays, which will be his major league debut. He'll take the place of Cole Ragans, who was originally scheduled to start but is dealing with a mild groin strain. It sounds like Ragans will avoid the IL for now, which means Cameron isn't expectedto stick with the big league club beyond this start. Cameron just missed making the Opening Day rosterand has been pitching well at Triple-A to start the year, posting a 3.22 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, and a 21.3 percentK-BB% across five starts (22 1/3 IP). The southpaw showed well at Triple-A last season as well, registering a 2.32 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, and a 23.8 percent K-BB% across nine starts (54 1/3 IP), so regardless of what happens Wednesday, we'll likelysee him in the majors again later this season. The Rays have one of the lowest team batting averages against lefties, so Cameron could be a sneaky low-end DFS play for this contest.

Kansas City Royals pitching prospect Noah Cameron tossed six shutout frames en route to picking up his second victory of the campaign on Tuesday evening over St. Paul. Cameron allowed just two hits and one free pass while striking out five. In his first start of the season, Cameron logged five innings of two-run ball (one earned) with a 3:6 BB:K. The 25-year-old was in the mix to earn a spot on the MLB roster during camp but eventually fell short in the competition. However, given his strong start to the Triple-A regular season, the southpaw could be in the mix for an early MLB debut. Last summer, Cameron logged 54 1/3 innings with Triple-A Omaha and held a 2.23 ERA with a 1.01 WHIP. Across this stint, he held a strong 11:62 BB:K. If he continues to perform well, he could enter stash territory.

Per the team, the Kansas City Royals have assigned LHP Noah Cameron, RHP Eric Cerantola, and outfielder Tyler Gentry to minor league camp and optioned to the Triple-A Omaha Storm Chasers. The Royals have also assigned RHP Anthony Simonelli, RHP Junior Fernandez, and catcher Kyle Hayes to minor league camp. Kansas City is trimming down the roster, and at 52 players in Major League camp, there are still some cuts to make before opening day. Cameron, 25, pitched to a 3.60 ERA across ten innings of work in spring training. He has done well on the bump throughout his minor league career -- registering a sub-3.00 ERA (2.32) as recently as last season with Omaha. While he won't be on the opening-day roster, Cameron has a good chance of making his way to the big leagues at some point in 2025.

MLB Pipeline named left-handed pitcher Noah Cameron as Kansas City's top pitching prospect of the 2024 season. The Central Arkansas product opened the 2024 season by getting his second extended look at Double-A ball and took a significant step forward as he held a solid 3.63 ERA, with a 1.36 WHIP and a 25:87 BB:K ratio in 74 1/3 innings of work. In 2023, Cameron carried a high 6.10 ERA and 1.56 WHIP at Double-A. The southpaw was then rewarded with a promotion to Triple-A where he continued to progress as he posted a strong 2.32 ERA and 1.01 WHIP across 54 1/3 innings of work. He struck out 62 batters during this stretch with just 11 free passes. Given his steady improvement in 2024, Cameron could be in line to make his major league debut sometime in 2025.
