Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Noah Cameron, 26-year-old Kansas City Royals left-hander, developed lower back tightness after his last start and was scratched from his scheduled start on May 5 against the Cleveland Guardians. Manager Matt Quatraro stated the team doesn't expect him to miss more than one start. Cameron is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Thursday with a potential start against Detroit on Sunday. However, Cameron has significantly underperformed in 2026 compared to his breakout 2025 rookie season, posting a 5.40 ERA and 1.61 WHIP through six starts with 28 strikeouts and 11 walks in 31.2 innings. He has surrendered five home runs early in the season and is struggling with command, getting behind in counts and nibbling rather than attacking hitters.
