The Royals will offer him a fresh start and chance to carve out a role in the bullpen.<\/p>\n<p><!--]-->[&#8211;><\/p>\n<p>This season, Seabold owns a 4.26 ERA in 16 relief appearances. He appeared in five games with the Blue Jays after beginning the 2026 campaign with the Detroit Tigers.<\/p>\n<p><!--]-->[&#8211;><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnother guy with some experience to be able to fit in the middle of the game,\u201d Royals manager Matt Quatraro said. \u201cGive us some length at times. He\u2019s been pretty much one inning lately, but we\u2019re not going to designate a role for him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--]-->[&#8211;><\/p>\n<p>Seabold faced the Royals on April 16 in Detroit. He allowed one run in 1 \u2153 innings and picked up the victory in the <a target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"Follow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mlb\/recap\/_\/gameId\/401814963\">Tigers\u2019 10-9 win<\/a> at Comerica Park.<\/p>\n<p><!--]-->[&#8211;><\/p>\n<p>Now, Seabold will join a Royals bullpen that owns the second-worst ERA in the American League. KC has a 4.85 ERA, which ranks just ahead of the Minnesota Twins (5.22 ERA).<\/p>\n<p><!--]-->[&#8211;><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a great dude and great pitcher too,\u201d Royals reliever John Schreiber said. \u201cHe can bring longevity and he has great stuff. Good velocity on the fastball and good shape on his pitches.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--]-->[&#8211;><\/p>\n<p>The Royals added Seabold to the 40-man roster. To clear a spot, KC transferred closer Carlos Est\u00e9vez to the 60-day injured list.<\/p>\n<p><!--]-->[&#8211;><\/p>\n<p>Est\u00e9vez is dealing with a <a target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"Follow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kansascity.com\/sports\/mlb\/kansas-city-royals\/article315704812.html\">right rotator cuff strain<\/a>. He is joined by fellow relievers Nick Mears (right shoulder impingement), James McArthur (right elbow inflammation) currently on the injured list.<\/p>\n<p><!--]-->[&#8211;><\/p>\n<p>Seabold spent parts of five seasons with six teams. He also played internationally in Korea during the 2024 campaign. That year, Seabold finished 11-6 with a 3.43 ERA in 28 starts for the Samsung Lions.<\/p>\n<p><!--]-->[&#8211;><\/p>\n<p>The Royals will likely use Seabold in various ways. He does have experience pitching multiple innings and features a four-pitch arsenal.<\/p>\n<p><!--]-->[&#8211;><\/p>\n<p>Per Statcast, Seabold primarily relies on his fastball and changeup. He also mixes in a slider and cutter.<\/p>\n<p><!--]-->[&#8211;><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has good carry on his four-seamer,\u201d Quatraro said. \u201cA little bit of deception from a little lower release. (He\u2019s) a really comfortable strike-thrower too. So somebody that\u2019s had a lot of success against righties, especially with the slider.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--]-->[&#8211;><\/p>\n<p>Samudio was signed by the Royals in the 2025 international signing period. He posted a 4.12 ERA while appearing with Single-A Columbia and in the Arizona Complex League.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--]--><!--&gt;--><\/p>\n<p class=\"summary gray\">Esta hist\u00f3ria foi publicada originalmente <span class=\"inline-block\">15 de junho de 2026 \u00e0s 14h42<span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--&gt;--><\/p>\n<div class=\"zone grid\">\n<div class=\"related-stories story-module\">\n<h5>Hist\u00f3rias relacionadas de Kansas City Star<\/h5>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"story-module\">\n<div class=\"author-card \">\n<div class=\"thumb\">\n                <a target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kansascity.com\/profile\/274524051\/\"><\/p>\n<p>                    <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n<div class=\"article-details\">\n<p>                <a target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"author-name\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kansascity.com\/profile\/274524051\/\">Jaylon Thompson<\/a><\/p>\n<p> <!-- Added as per FE-855 --><\/p>\n<p>                    <span class=\"credit\">A estrela de Kansas City<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <!-- Added as per FE-855 --><\/p>\n<p>                     <!-- End of class=\"social-media\" --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>            <span>Jaylon Thompson faz a cobertura do Royals para o The Kansas City Star.
