Avila Tries to Rebound in Depleted Royals Rotation

Avila is coming off a nightmare start where he failed to escape the first inning after allowing nine runs. Despite the blowup and his elevated 7.22 ERA over the last month, his role is secure. The fifth-place Royals are currently decimated by injuries to rotation anchors Seth Lugo, Cole Ragans, and Kris Bubic, locking Avila in as the team's number two starter.

While his 6.33 ERA and 1.85 WHIP on the season are alarming, our projection expects a rest-of-season turnaround toward a 4.25 ERA and 1.39 WHIP. His walk rate remains a critical issue, but some regression toward his solid 2025 career debut is anticipated as his luck evens out.

This week, Avila is scheduled for a single road start on Wednesday against the Nationals. He will match up against Zack Littell, who holds a mediocre 5.32 ERA. While the matchup is beatable, Avila's extreme volatility makes him too dangerous to trust in your lineup. Sit him until he shows signs of stability.
