Luke Hochevar twirled three innings of one-run ball Monday against the Angels to record his first career save.
Hochevar took over in the seventh for Royals starter Luis Mendoza with a 10-3 lead. He struck out four, didn't walk a batter and allowed three hits. A bust as a starter, Hochevar may be resurrecting his career out of the 'pen, using a mid-90s heater and sick cutter to post a 1.17 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 17/3 K/BB rate over 15 1/3 innings. He's not a threat for saves in KC, yet, but fantasy owners should monitor the talented right-hander's progress.
May 14 - 3:04 AM
Luke Hochevar has put up a 1.04 ERA and 11/3 K/BB ratio over 8 2/3 innings out of the bullpen this season.
Hochevar never put it all together as a starter, but he might have found a home in the bullpen. The righty's fastball is sitting in the mid-90s in relief, and he's also showing a nasty cutter. Hochevar is down the pecking order for saves in a loaded Royals bullpen, but it's looking like he'll be a weapon for them.
May 3 - 11:48 AM
According to CBS Sports' Danny Knobler, teams that have asked about Luke Hochevar were told the Royals want "quite a bit" in return for him.
Well, of course they would. After all, we're talking about a long reliever with a $4.65 million salary and 5.39 career ERA. It could just be posturing by Kansas City, as logic would dictate that the Royals would love simply to just unload Hochevar's salary. The Rockies had interest in the right-hander over the winter.
Mar 13 - 10:54 PM

Danny Knobler on Twitter
Royals manager Ned Yost said Wednesday that Luke Hochevar will be moved to the bullpen.
This means that the fifth spot in the rotation will come down to Bruce Chen, Will Smith, Luis Mendoza and Yordano Ventura. It's the right move, but even if Hochevar pitches well out of the bullpen, he'll still be overpaid at $4.65 million.

Jarrod Dyson
D.L.
Royals manager Ned Yost said Jarrod Dyson (ankle) is likely "at least three weeks" away from returning.
Dyson is dealing with a high right ankle sprain. He had been receiving more starts before the injury and again could threaten Jeff Francoeur for playing time once healthy.

Danny Duffy
D.L.
Danny Duffy (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Northwest Arkansas on Sunday.
He'll throw 60 pitches for the Naturals. Making his way back from Tommy John surgery, Duffy will surely require the full 30 days on his rehab assignment. Assuming the results are there and his arm strength is back, he should be added to the Royals' rotation in late June. The left-hander is worth stashing on the DL if you have the roster space.
May 24

Felipe Paulino
D.L.
Felipe Paulino (elbow) threw 25 pitches of live batting practice on Saturday.
It's Paulino's second such session as he continues his recovery from Tommy John surgery. The Royals are hoping that Paulino will be able to throw five innings on the anniversary date of his surgery (July 3), but it will be later than that before he's ready to rejoin the rotation.
