Stephen Nogosek Signs With Kansas City Royals on May 7, 2025

The addition of a right-handed relief pitcher could shift the bullpen dynamics for the Kansas City Royals. With Carlos Estévez as the closer and Lucas Erceg in the setup role, the new signing might see time in middle relief or late-inning situations. The upcoming game against the Chicago White Sox will be at Kauffman Stadium on May 7, 2025.

With no current stats for the season, it is unclear how the new pitcher will fit into the rotation. The Royals' current depth chart has several options for relief pitching, including Daniel Lynch IV and John Schreiber. Vinnie Pasquantino and Salvador Perez are among the key players in the lineup for the next game.
