Kansas City Royals Bullpen Usage Report, Transactions, & Roster Moves

This is a running tally of recent bullpen usage by the Kansas City Royals, with the past week of Royals roster moves below. Each reliever currently in the bullpen is listed with the number of pitches thrown that day. Green means the reliever was not used, yellow means the reliever threw 1-19 pitches, and red means they threw 20 or more pitches in an outing.

If a player has been recalled to the team but has not pitched, they may not yet appear on this list. Inversely, if a pitcher was recently demoted, they may still appear for a day or two.

Availability of pitchers is usually dependent on how many pitches they’ve thrown the day before and maybe the day before that. There are no hard-and-fast rules, but it usually goes something like this:

0-20 - probably available to pitch today, but probably not again tomorrow
20-30 - availability questionable for today
30+ - likely unavailable today & maybe not tomorrow
