Royals' Michael Wacha Placed on 15-Day IL with Foot Fracture

Kansas City pitcher Michael Wacha suffers a small, non-displaced fracture after being hit by a comebacker, sidelining him for at least two weeks.

Wacha was injured during Friday's game against the Padres but continued to pitch 5⅓ innings, allowing two runs.
Imaging revealed a small, non-displaced fracture in Wacha's left foot, his landing foot during pitches.
The Royals have called up left-hander Daniel Lynch IV from Triple-A Omaha to fill Wacha's spot in the rotation.
Lynch has a 1.50 ERA in three appearances this season and will be crucial during the Royals' challenging upcoming schedule.
The Royals are evaluating how long Wacha will be out, depending on his recovery and ability to bear weight on the injured foot.
