Yordano Ventura has been killed in a car accident in his native Dominican Republic.
Christian Moreno of ESPN first reported the awful news, and the Royals have since confirmed it. Ventura's fellow countryman, Andy Marte, was killed in a separate accident, as well, in what has been a tragic morning for baseball. Ventura was just 25 years of age. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends.

Kansas City Royals on Twitter
Yordano Ventura fell to 11-12 after allowing four runs over six innings Friday versus the Indians.
Things fell apart for Ventura in the third inning, as he gave up four runs on four hits and a walk. He allowed six hits in all on the day while walking three and striking out eight. He also hit Francisco Lindor, apparently in retaliation for him celebrating after hitting a double in his previous at-bat. Ventura remains a frustrating talent in many ways. He took a step back this year, posting a 4.45 ERA over 32 starts while seeing an increase in his walk percentage and a decrease in his strikeout percentage.
Sat, Oct 1, 2016 12:26:00 AM
Yordano Ventura was removed from Saturday's start against the Tigers due to tightness in his lower back.
Prior to his departure, Ventura allowed three runs on 10 hits in his four-plus innings of work. It's unclear how much time the right-hander may miss, but it wouldn't be surprising to see the Royals shut him down for the remainder of the season.

Yordano Ventura was forced to leave Saturday's start against the Tigers in the fifth inning due to an apparent injury.
It's unclear exactly what the issue was, but the right-hander departed after a visit from the trainer and manager Ned Yost. Expect an update from the Royals shortly on his status.

Salvador Perez
10-Day DL
Royals manager Ned Yost said Friday that the hope is Salvador Perez (knee) will be activated sometime during next week's April 24-29 homestand.
Perez has already played four rehab games and Yost said the catcher feels "great." He's slated to serve as the designated hitter for Triple-A Omaha on Friday before catching back-to-back games Saturday and Sunday. That could be the last hurdle he needs to clear before being activated as soon as Tuesday. If he does return Tuesday, Perez will have made it back in four weeks after being given a 4-6 week timetable to recover from a torn MCL.

Adalberto Mondesi
10-Day DL
Adalberto Mondesi (shoulder) was set to begin playing in extended spring training games Saturday.
Mondesi has been out since early March with a shoulder injury, which has really only publicly described as soreness, and the estimation is that he'll need around 30 at-bats before going on a rehab assignment. That's behind the original timetable, and everything seems to be progressing a little slower than first expected. When healthy, Mondesi is a potential fantasy option for cheap steals and should be given plenty of run with the rebuilding Royals.

10-Day DL
Alex Gordon (hip) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha on Friday.
Gordon was placed on the DL with a labral tear in his left hip earlier this month but is already on the mend. Barring a setback, Gordon should be back in the Royals' lineup sometime next week. He was hitting just .174 before his injury.

Jorge Bonifacio
Suspended
Royals outfielder Jorge Bonifacio has been suspended 80 games by Major League Baseball for testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug.
Bonifacio tested positive for Boldenone, the steroid Jenrry Mejia and David Paulino, among others, have been popped for in recent years. He'll be out until at least June, as the suspension starts with the commence of the regular season. Before the suspension, Bonifacio was jockeying for a starting spot in the Royals outfield.

Karns is expected to be activated soon following last summer's thoracic outlet surgery. He'll work in relief initially but could eventually move into the rotation.

Jesse Hahn
60-Day DL
Jesse Hahn (elbow) hopes to resume throwing in a couple of weeks.
Hahn was placed on the 60-day disabled list Tuesday after being diagnosed with a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his right arm. He could eventually require Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery, but the 28-year-old right-hander will first try a rehab plan. "We’re just gonna treat it right now and see how it responds," Hahn said Tuesday. "Test it dynamically, so, you know, let it calm down and then get out there, start a throwing program and just take it from there, one step day by day."
