Jonathan Broxton blew his second save of the season in Wednesday's 15-inning loss to the Orioles, allowing two runs on four hits in the ninth inning.
Tasked with protecting a 3-1 lead, Broxton allowed a one-out solo shot to Wilson Betemit before serving up three singles (one of which plated the tying run) in between recording the final two outs. An ugly outing, but Broxton had converted seven straight save opportunities with relatively little fuss coming into this evening. His job isn't in danger.
May 17 - 12:47 AM
Jonathan Broxton converted his seventh straight save chance Monday, giving up a hit but striking out two in a win over the Rangers.
Broxton has made a stunning turnaround after he blew up in a blown save back on April 11 when he looked like he wouldn't be long for the job. Since then, he's allowed just one run over 11 appearances while nailing down all of his save chances. His job is very secure right now.
May 14 - 11:14 PM
Jonathan Broxton allowed the first two Yankees to reach in the ninth inning on Thursday, but battled back to slam the door and pick up his fifth save of the season.
After Derek Jeter and Curtis Granderson reached to start the night, Broxton was able to induce Mark Teixeira to ground into a double play and then retire Alex Rodriguez on a groundout to third after a lengthy at-bat. While he's not the same intimidating and dominating force that he was as a Dodger, Broxton appears to be settling into his role as the closer in Kansas City, and his job security is on the rise.
May 3 - 11:37 PM
Jonathan Broxton turned in a scoreless bottom of the ninth against the Tigers for his fourth save Wednesday.
Broxton had the one meltdown last month against the A's, but he hasn't allowed a run in his other four save chances this season. Apart from the one aforementioned outing, he's walked just one batter in eight innings.

Salvador Perez
D.L.
Salvador Perez (knee) is ahead of schedule in his recovery and will report to extended spring training early next week.
Royals manager Ned Yost estimated that Perez is about 3-4 weeks away from returning. If all goes well, he could return sometime before the All-Star break.

"I think (I’ll) be ready to play like June, early June," Piña said. The 24-year-old could be optioned to Triple-A when he's healthy.

Royals placed INF Chris Getz on the 15-day disabled list with a left ribcage contusion.
Getz originally suffered the injury last week, but he aggravated it during Tuesday's game. Johnny Giovotella and Irving Falu will share second base duties during his absence.

Yuniesky Betancourt

Yuniesky Betancourt (ankle) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Thursday at the Double-A level.
Betancourt has been out of commission since May 2 with an ankle sprain. It is fully healed by now and he should be ready to return to the bigs by the end of May.

Lorenzo Cain (groin) is expected to miss another 4-8 weeks.
Cain originally just had a left groin strain, but that has turned into a torn hip flexor. It's a really bad injury for a base stealer and he won't even start rehab work until next week. Speedster Jarrod Dyson projects to get most of the starts in center going forward. He's hitting .321 with two swipes in his first seven appearances of the season.

Jonathan Sanchez (biceps tendinitis) is heading to the Royals' spring training complex for rehab work.
He'll eventually progress to a minor league rehab assignment. Sanchez, who was placed on the disabled list retroactive to May 8, seems doubtful to return before the end of May. He has posted a brutal 6.75 ERA and 18/22 K/BB ratio through six starts this season.

Danny Duffy
D.L.
Dr. Lewis Yocum confirmed that Danny Duffy has a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow.
Yocum confirmed the initial diagnosis by Royals head physician Dr. Key. Duffy will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery in Los Angeles within the next two weeks and figures to miss the early part of the 2013 campaign. It's disappointing given the improvement he showed this season, but there's still plenty of promise here in the long-term.
