The Kansas City Royals announced shortly after their 6-2 win over the Cleveland Guardians on Monday that Noah Cameron is dealing with back tightness. Right-hander Stephen Kolek will make his first start of the season Tuesday. Going into spring training, one roster battle centered on the fifth spot in the rotation. While Cameron was the frontrunner, Kolek remained in the mix. In late February, Kolek suffered a Grade 1 left oblique strain, which landed him on the 15-day injured list to start the season. After completing four rehab starts, Kolek will make his first start of the 2026 season for the Royals.
