Scouting Report: Noah Williamson
Houston Astros | CF
Overall
Summary
Noah Cameron, 26-year-old left-handed starter for the Kansas City Royals, was scratched from his scheduled start on May 5 against the Cleveland Guardians due to lower back tightness. The injury is not considered serious, and the Royals are being cautious with their approach. Cameron is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Thursday with a potential return to start on Sunday against the Detroit Tigers. The back tightness began after his last start, and while Cameron indicated he could pitch through it, the team opted to skip his turn in the rotation. Cameron has struggled in 2026 with a 5.40 ERA and 1.61 WHIP across six starts (31 2/3 innings, 28 K, 11 BB), a significant decline from his breakout 2025 rookie season (2.99 ERA, 1.10 WHIP over 24 starts).
Strengths
- Not expected to be a serious injury
