The Kansas City Royals added two players<\/a> to their 40-man roster just ahead of the Rule 5 Draft deadline on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

The Royals protected minor-league pitchers Ben Kudrna and Steven Zobac. Both pitchers were eligible for the Rule 5 Draft if not added to the major league reserve list.<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

Kudrna, 22, is among the Royals\u2019 top pitching prospects. He posted a 5.30 ERA in 24 games (22 starts) across to minor-league levels.<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

In 2025, Kudrna made the jump from Double-A to Triple-A Omaha. He appeared in 11 1\/3 innings with the Omaha Storm Chasers \u2014 while posting mixed results.<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

It\u2019s likely Kudrna will continue in Omaha to begin the 2026 campaign. The Royals like his pitching arsenal<\/a> as he was named the organization\u2019s pitcher of the year in 2022. He also was selected for the SiriusXM Futures Game in 2024.<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

The Royals have a surplus of starting pitching depth. It\u2019s likely Kudrna will continue to develop in Triple-A for the foreseeable future. However, Kudrna is now poised to be an available option \u2014 should the Royals deal from their starting depth or have a string of injuries.<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

Kudrna could be the next homegrown Royals pitcher<\/a> to debut. He is a Shawnee Mission native and was drafted in 2021 out of Blue Valley Southwest High School.<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

Zobac, 25, is also a top Royals prospect. He posted a 7.25 ERA in 14 minor-league starts.<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

The Royals like Zobac\u2019s overall makeup. He throws strikes and has elevated through the system.<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

In 2024, Zobac was terrific with a 3.64 ERA \u2014 which landed him the Royals\u2019 pitcher of the year award.<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

While injuries derailed his 2025 campaign, Zobac is someone to watch as the Royals move forward next season. The Royals now have 39 players on their 40-man roster.<\/p>\n
