Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Noah Cameron, 26-year-old Kansas City Royals left-hander, was scratched from his May 5 start against Cleveland due to lower back tightness. The injury is not considered serious, and the Royals expect him to miss only one start. Cameron was scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Thursday with a potential start Sunday against Detroit. However, his 2026 season has been disappointing overall, posting a 5.40 ERA and 1.61 WHIP through 6-7 starts with 28 strikeouts and 11 walks in 31.2 innings. This represents a significant regression from his impressive 2025 rookie season (2.99 ERA, 1.10 WHIP). Cameron has surrendered 5 home runs early in the season and has been struggling with pitch command, getting behind in counts and nibbling rather than attacking hitters.
