Scouting Report: Cam Eden
Chicago Cubs | CF
Overall
Summary
Noah Cameron, 26-year-old Kansas City Royals left-hander, was scratched from his scheduled start on May 5, 2026 against the Cleveland Guardians due to lower back tightness. The injury is not considered serious, and the Royals expect him to miss no more than one start. Cameron is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Thursday with a potential start against the Detroit Tigers on Sunday. The back tightness began after his last start, and while Cameron indicated he could pitch through it, the Royals are taking a cautious approach. In his six starts for KC in 2026, Cameron has posted a 5.40 ERA and 1.61 WHIP with 28 strikeouts and 11 walks in 31 2/3 innings, a significant decline from his impressive 2025 rookie season (2.99 ERA, 1.10 WHIP over 24 starts).
