Heasley (0-1) took the loss Thursday after allowing one run on four hits and four walks across 3.1 innings as the Royals fell 3-1 to the Rangers. He struck out one.
Heasley made three starts for the Royals last year, but he started the 2022 campaign at Triple-A. The youngster struggled out of the gate in his season debut, giving up two singles, a walk and a run during the first inning, but he was able to settle down until he was pulled after creating a one-out, bases-loaded jam in the fourth. Amir Garrett took over and was able to escape the inning without giving up a run. Heasley's next start is tentatively scheduled for the second half of Kansas City's doubleheader against the White Sox on Tuesday.
