Cameron's Back Woes Sideline Pitcher, Kolek Debuts
6 May
Summary
- Noah Cameron scratched with moderate back spasms, skipping his start.
- Stephen Kolek to make Royals debut, with strong minor league ERA.
- Game 36 features unexpected pitching change and absent tacos.
Noah Cameron will not be starting in game 36 due to moderate back spasms. The pitcher stated it was too early to play through the pain, though he might have considered it in August or September. Manager Matt Quatraro confirmed Cameron's absence from the pitching rotation for this game.
Stephen Kolek is set to make his debut for the Royals, stepping in for Cameron. Kolek had been competing for a rotation spot in spring training but was sidelined by an oblique injury. He has demonstrated strong performance in Omaha, posting a 2.76 ERA across four starts before this call-up.
Notably, the day's press dinner menu lacked tacos, a surprising omission given it was both Cinco de Mayo and Taco Tuesday.
