It was a corresponding transaction for right-handed pitcher Jacob Wallace to be reinstated from the injured list.   <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_yskm8qmni\">Keuchel wound up making seven starts for the Storm Chasers, and the numbers weren&#8217;t at all bad. He pitched 35 2\/3 innings to the tune of a 3.53 ERA, striking out 30 batters, walking 12, and allowing 38 hits. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_8k8l7n238\">A two-time All-Star and five-time Gold Glove winner, Keuchel last pitched a full major league season with the Chicago White Sox in 2021. From ages 34 to 37, he&#8217;s been on a continuous grind to keep his big-league dreams alive. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_h1qmuzbr2\">Keuchel pitched for the White Sox, Arizona Diamondbacks, and Texas Rangers in 2022, totaling a 9.20 ERA. He moved on to the Minnesota Twins in 2023 and the Milwaukee Brewers last year, with an ERA in the fives over brief samples across both seasons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_uf1xzt2qe\">Unless Keuchel mounts an improbable big-league comeback, it will be the first season since 2011 that the lefty doesn&#8217;t pitch in at least one major league game. He&#8217;s barely snuck in there the last few years, with 10 appearances in 2023 and four last year.   <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_dc22pouwa\">If this is it for Keuchel, what a run it has been. But he&#8217;s also been counted out before and wound up finding his way back to the big leagues anyway, so it&#8217;s unwise to count him out until the season ends.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_h3b8f284n\"><em><strong>More MLB: <\/strong><\/em><a target=\"_blank\" class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_1gn6yjz\" href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/mlb\/royals\/news\/royals-writer-calls-for-kc-to-make-long-term-maikel-garcia-decision-jackson3\"><em><strong>Royals Writer Calls For KC To Make Long-Term Maikel Garcia Decision<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.si.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Kansas City Royals have brought in some blasts from the past this season, but they haven&#8217;t paid major dividends.
