Scouting Report: Cameron Cauley
Texas Rangers | SS
Overall
Summary
Noah Cameron, 26-year-old Kansas City Royals left-hander, was scratched from his Tuesday start against Cleveland with back tightness. He is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Thursday with a potential start Sunday against Detroit if he responds well. Back injury is not considered serious. Cameron has struggled significantly in 2026 with a 5.40 ERA and 1.61 WHIP through six starts (31 2/3 innings, 28 K, 11 BB). This represents a notable regression from his impressive 2025 rookie season (9-7, 2.99 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 4th in AL ROY voting). He has surrendered 5 home runs early in the season and is giving up hard contact at elevated rates compared to last year. Cameron acknowledged after a recent rough outing that he needs to attack more and stop nibbling in counts.
