The injury <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/anne__rogers\/status\/2051780950309195800\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">isn&#8217;t expected<\/a> to be severe, according to Anne Rogers via X, formerly Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNoah Cameron said the back tightness began after his last start. Said he&#8217;d be capable of pitching through it (like if it was later in the year) but Royals want to be cautious. Manager Matt Quatraro said they don&#8217;t anticipate it being anything more than one skipped start,\u201d Rogers reported.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/clutchpoints.com\/mlb\/kansas-city-royals\/royals-news-kansas-city-pitcher-dazzles-in-mlb-debut\">Cameron had a breakout rookie season in 2025<\/a>, but he has failed to replicate it this year. In six starts for Kansas City, Cameron has a 5.40 ERA and a 1.61 WHIP. It&#8217;s a far cry from his 2025 season, when he started 24 games and posted a 2.99 ERA with a 1.10 WHIP.<\/p>\n<p>The Royals have won four games in a row to get their season back on track, but are still three games under .500 with a 16-19 record. They are 8-2 over their last 10 games, and are just 1.5 games back of the Cleveland Guardians, whom they play on Tuesday. Kansas City won the first of a four-game set against Cleveland on Monday night.<\/p>\n<p>The American League Central has seen better years, with the Guardians and the Detroit Tigers tied for first with 18-18 records. The Royals are still well within reach of making a push for the playoffs, and getting Cameron back to his 2025 form could help. Skipping a start and getting a chance to get his body right and recharged may not be the worst thing for him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Kansas City Royals had to scratch Noah Cameron from his scheduled start on May 5 due to an injury to his lower back.
