Definitely think Zebby's foot issue is part of it - but also want to add that since Ryan is both on the IL and in his annual Post All-Star Slump, and Prielipp is going to be hitting his inning limit soon, if he doesn't go on the IL Zeb's probably going to be around until the end of the season. If they can continue to provide him run support like they did today it's not quite as terrifying of a prospect, but considering how mercurial our bats are it's certainly going to be a risky bet...
And your referring to the Royals with KC, right? I'm getting so confused with both KC being Kansas City and Kaelen Culpepper now 😵💫😅
