Rest-of-Season Projections
Signed a one-year contract with the Royals in March of 2025.
Opening Wednesday's contest
Bowlan will serve as the Royals' opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Guardians, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
The Royals are seemingly going to rely on their bullpen to get through Wednesday's contest, and they'll start by sending out Bowlan for the first handful of outs. The 28-year-old owns a 3.57 ERA and 1.13 WHIP through 35.1 innings on the season and has five appearances of at least two innings, so there's a chance he remains in Wednesday's contest past the first frame before getting the hook.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Bowlan made his major league debut in 2023 making two appearances and throwing just three innings in late September. The 27-year-old compiled an unimpressive 5.91 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 105:45 K:BB over 102 innings between Double-A and Triple-A. With the additions of Seth Lugo and Michael Wacha this offseason and it's difficult to envision a rotation spot for Bowlan heading into 2024. The right-hander's best path to a roster spot could be out of the bullpen, though he's only been used as a reliever seven times in his career across all levels. Bowlan is unlikely to hold much fantasy value outside of spot starts.
