Former Cy Young winner Dallas Keuchel and the Kansas City Royals are in agreement on a minor league contract, sources tell ESPN. Keuchel, 37, held a workout last week and was up to 92 mph. Heโll start at AAA and if he gets to the big leagues would make $2 million prorated.
Dax Dathe (@FrederickKeys) had his best outing of the summer on Saturday, striking out six over three strong innings.๐
Dathe earned the win, his second of the year, and lowered his ERA to 2.93.
Line: 3 IP, W, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 6 K, 1 HB

Pretty cool full circle moment. RHP Hale Sims is on to pitch for the Ballers.
Fun fact per @dan_helotie , Sims, a UNC Charlotte grad, threw the first ever pitch in the history of Atrium Health Ballpark here in Kannapolis back in 2021.
.@hale_sims faced one batter in the bottom of the 7th (7 inning game). The batter grounded out to 2nd. .1 IP, 0 H, 0 ER.
The @Kcannonballers introduced him as the first pitcher in Atrium Health Ballpark history. Really cool moment.

I just got off the phone with Coach Harbaugh and Jim shared with me the great news that he is going to remain as the Head Coach of the Michigan Wolverines. That is fantastic news that I have communicated to our Athletic Director Warde Manuel. #GoBlue!
