Goes on family emergency list
The Royals placed Kolek (personal) on the Family Medical Emergency List on Saturday.
Análise
Kolek's next start is tentatively slated for next week on the road against the Mets, though it's unclear whether he'll be with the team at that time. He took the loss in his last start against the Rays on Thursday, when he allowed three runs on four hits and one walk across two innings without recording a strikeout. Prior to that outing, Kolek spent some time on the paternity list and then the family medical emergency list before rejoining the team Thursday. The Royals recalled right-hander Jose Cuas from Triple-A Omaha in a corresponding move.

Rusty in third loss
Kolek (4-3) took the loss Thursday against the Rays, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk in two innings. He failed to record a strikeout.
Análise
Pitching on 10 days' rest following stints on the paternity and family medical emergency lists, Kolek showed signs of rust in an abbreviated start Thursday. The 29-year-old right-hander has now been unable to register a single punchout in back-to-back outings, watching his season ERA balloon from 2.68 on June 18 to 4.50 after coughing up 12 runs in his last two appearances. Kolek, who has a 1.24 WHIP and 34:12 K:BB over 54 innings this year, will be aiming to steady the ship against the Mets his next time out.

Activated ahead of Thursday's start
The Royals activated Kolek (personal) from the family medical emergency list Thursday.
Análise
Kolek was placed on the paternity list last week and shifted to the family medical emergency list Tuesday, but he will rejoin the Royals' rotation with a start Thursday against the Rays. The right-hander will be pitching on 10 days' rest, so it's not clear how sharp he will be or how big of a workload he'll be able to handle.

Expected to start Thursday
Kolek (personal) is expected to return from the family medical emergency list to start Thursday's game against Tampa Bay, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Análise
Kolek moved from the paternity list to the family medical emergency list Tuesday so that he could spend more time away from the team following the birth of his child, but the Royals won't end up having to skip his turn in the rotation for a second time. The 29-year-old righty will be looking to bounce back from a disastrous nine-run, 1.2-inning performance during his last start June 21, though he'll be facing a Rays offense that's posted an .881 OPS across its last 10 games.

Shifts to family emergency list
The Royals transferred Kolek (personal) from the paternity list to the family medical emergency list Tuesday.
Análise
The right-hander was scratched from his start Friday against the White Sox in order to be placed on the paternity list, and this transaction will allow him to spend more time away from the team. It's unclear if Kolek is expected to be back with the Royals for his next turn through the rotation, which lined up for Thursday versus Tampa Bay.
