Coleman has allowed one earned run on four hits and three walks while striking out six over three innings across three Cactus League appearances.
Coleman was one of the Royals' more effective relievers in 2022, posting a 2.78 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, 71:37 K:BB and 16 holds over 68 games. The walk issues are still popping up this spring, and Coleman's 3.87 FIP last year suggests regression could be on the way if he can't improve at limiting baserunners.

Rotowire
Coleman (5-2) gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless inning to earn the win Tuesday over the Twins.
This was Coleman's first appearance since he took a loss Friday versus the Red Sox, and he bounced back well.

Royals' Dylan Coleman: Tagged with loss
Rotowire
Coleman (4-2) allowed two runs on two walks in one-third of an inning Friday, taking the loss versus the Red Sox.
Coleman walked two of the first three batters in the eighth inning, and closer Scott Barlow then allowed both of those runners to score. Coleman's only other loss this year came back on May 1. He saw a 9.1-inning scoreless streak snapped with the sloppy outing Friday, which also lifted his ERA to 2.66 with a 1.25 WHIP and 63:36 K:BB through 61 innings this year. He's added 13 holds and two blown saves while emerging as a setup man for the Royals, though their poor play has offered him few chances to pitch with a lead.

Royals' Dylan Coleman: Snags third win
Rotowire
Coleman (3-1) pitched a perfect inning to earn the win Saturday over the Red Sox.
Coleman did his part to keep the game tied in the ninth inning, and he became the pitcher of record when Nick Pratto hit a two-out, walkoff solo home run in the bottom of the frame. Since the start of July, Coleman has allowed four runs (three earned) in 13.2 innings while adding five holds as he continues to work his way into a higher-leverage role. For the season, he owns a 2.80 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 44:31 K:BB in addition to nine holds through 45 innings.

Royals' Dylan Coleman: Unable to pitch in Toronto
Rotowire
Coleman is unable to travel to Canada for the four-game series in Toronto this weekend due to his vaccination status, so he'll be placed on the restricted list Wednesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
The Royals have 10 players heading to the restricted list for their weekend series, but Coleman is the team's only reliever that is expected to be unavailable due to being unvaccinated. The team will likely call up some relievers to serve as bullpen depth ahead of the All-Star break.

Royals' Dylan Coleman: Collects second win
Rotowire
Coleman (2-1) walked one and struck out none in a scoreless inning to earn the win Tuesday versus the Angels.
Coleman successfully kept the game tied in the 10th inning, and the Royals pulled ahead in the 11th. Across eight innings in June, Coleman has allowed one run, three hits and six walks with nine strikeouts. He's added two holds and a win in that span, though control remains an issue for the hard-throwing right-hander. Overall, he's logged a 3.18 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, 33:23 K:BB and three holds in 28.1 innings this season without presenting much of a challenge to Scott Barlow for the closer role.

Royals' Dylan Coleman: Logs second hold
Rotowire
Coleman pitched a scoreless inning, allowing one walk, to earn a hold in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Blue Jays.
Coleman allowed six runs over seven innings in his last five appearances in May, but he's logged 2.1 scoreless inning to begin June. The right-hander has filled a middle-relief role with the Royals missing several of the bullpen regulars to injury and illness. For the season, Coleman has a 3.57 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, 27:19 K:BB, two holds and a 1-1 record across 22.2 innings.

Royals' Dylan Coleman: Struggles Friday
Rotowire
Coleman allowed four runs on three hits and a walk with one strikeout in two-thirds of an inning in Friday's 12-2 loss to the Yankees.
Coleman was tasked with the seventh inning in a 3-2 game, but he didn't do so well. He allowed an RBI single to DJ LeMahieu and a three-run home run to Aaron Judge before Amir Garrett entered the game. Coleman had pitched reasonably well before Friday's messy outing. He's posted a 6.14 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 11:5 K:BB with one hold in nine appearances across 7.1 innings.

Royals' Dylan Coleman: On Opening Day roster
Rotowire
Coleman made the Royals' Opening Day roster, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
The 25-year-old right-hander got his first taste of major-league action last season, allowing one run on five hits and a walk with seven strikeouts in 6.1 innings. Coleman made the Opening Day roster because fellow reliever Joel Payamps (personal) was placed on the family medical emergency list. As such, Coleman will need to hit the ground running if he's to retain a spot in the big-league bullpen. He was solid with a 3.55 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 56:17 K:BB while logging a 4-0 record and three saves with Triple-A Omaha in the latter half of last season.
