Luke Hochevar pitched fairly well in Tuesday’s loss to the Yankees, allowing three runs on six hits over 6 2/3 innings.
He punched out eight and walked three in the game. Though Hochevar now sits at 3-5 with a 6.61 ERA, he has actually pitched better of late. He’ll never live up to the high hopes of being the first overall pick in the draft, but the righty still has the stuff of a solid major league starter. He’ll look to get back in the win column when he squares off against the Indians in Cleveland on Monday.
May 22 - 10:00 PM
Luke Hochevar hurled seven scoreless innings Saturday in the Royals' 5-0 win over the White Sox.
Looks like it's going to be yet another up-and-down campaign for Hochevar, who still owns a rough 7.20 ERA and 1.57 WHIP on the season despite Saturday's superb results. The 28-year-old right-hander will try to keep things rolling next week against the Orioles. We'd keep avoiding him in fantasy leagues.
May 12 - 11:15 PM
Royals manager Ned Yost said Monday that the struggling Luke Hochevar will remain in the starting rotation.
Hochevar was blasted for seven runs over just 2 1/3 innings Sunday against the Yankees and now has a 9.00 ERA across his first six starts this year. We were hoping the 2006 No. 1 overall pick was ready to make a step forward after his promising second half last year, but he should be left inactive in fantasy leagues for the time being.

Luke Hochevar got shelled yet again Sunday, allowing seven runs on seven hits in just 2 1/3 innings of Kansas City's loss to the Yankees.
That should just about do it for any illusions of Hochevar taking his long-awaited step forward this season. Kansas City's would-be ace has allowed seven or more runs in three of his first six starts, and is now the owner of a 9.00 ERA and 1.82 WHIP through his first 28 innings of work. Awful, disappointing stuff from someone who had a strong second half last season. He'll look to pick up the pieces in Chicago next weekend. Keep him benched.

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.

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 (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.
