| Player Notes |
| September 22, 2007 Brian Bannister is slated to start for Kansas City on Tuesday, but the team plans to shut him down after that, according to the AP. "They are going to do what is in the best interest of the team, for me and next year," Bannister said. "There is no reason in doing something that would hurt me in getting ready for next year." Bannister has pitched 164 innings for the Royals this year, holding a 3.61 ERA. It's hard to argue with the numbers he's put up, although his K/9 rate (4.2) doesn't leave him much room for error. |
| May 20, 2007 Brian Bannister battled a viral infection this week but should be fine for today's start. The symptoms included pink eye, according to the KC Star. "I feel a lot better," he said. "Two days ago was the worst. It usually takes five days for it to run its course. My fifth day will be (today), so I should be good to go." Bannister, who has a 4.15 ERA and no wins in four starts, will face the Rockies in Colorado. |
| May 13, 2007 The Royals recalled Brian Bannister from Triple-A on Sunday to replace the injured Luke Hudson in the starting rotation, according to the AP. Bannister, who holds a 4.60 ERA in three starts with Kansas City this year, will start on Tuesday against the A's. |
| May 10, 2007 The Royals optioned Brian Bannister to Triple-A Omaha on Thursday. He had posted a 4.60 ERA and 1.47 WHIP while taking two losses in three starts since being called up last month. |
| April 24, 2007 The Royals recalled Brian Bannister from Triple-A Omaha to start Tuesday night's game against the White Sox, according to the AP. He was 1-1 with a 2.61 ERA in four starts at Omaha. |
| April 21, 2007 The Royals are expected to recall Brian Bannister from Triple-A Omaha to start Tuesday's game, according to the KC Star. He has a 1.93 ERA over 18 1/3 innings thus far for Omaha and will replace Brandon Duckworth in the rotation. |
| April 20, 2007 Brian Bannister is off to a solid start at Triple-A, with a 1.93 ERA over 18 2/3 innings, the Kansas City Star reports. He's struck out 13 and walked just four. His fourth turn of the year is penciled in for Friday. |
| March 12, 2007 Brian Bannister was hit on his right knee by a line drive on Sunday, according to the KC Star. "Its just bruised," he said. "Pretty deeply bruised, but Im fine. Ill be on my same routine for the next couple of days." Bannister is battling Zach Greinke for the final spot in the Royals rotation. |
| March 6, 2007 Brian Bannister gave up one unearned run in three innings Tuesday in his second Cactus League start. He gave up two hits and a walk and struck out one. Bannister, who is competing for a rotation spot, has allowed just one unearned run in five innings this spring. |
| March 2, 2007 Brian Bannister, who is competing for a rotation spot this spring, threw two scoreless innings against the Angels on Thursday, allowing one hit and striking out one. The Royals acquired Bannister in the Ambiorix Burgos trade in December. |
