Royals Veteran Trade Acquisition Makes Rehab Start, Could Return Soon

As they draw closer to locking up a playoff spot, the Kansas City Royals are beginning to get healthy again.

Michael Lorenzen, who the Royals received from the Texas Rangers in exchange for reliever Walter Pennington on Jul. 29, had been missing in action since Aug. 28 with a Grade 2 hamstring strain, which he suffered while hustling to first base trying to cover the bag on a double play. On Tuesday night, Lorenzen made his return to the mound, marking off a key step in his return to the Royals' rotation. He made a rehab start with the Royals' Double-A affiliate, the Northwest Arkansas Naturals.

The initial timeline for Lorenzen's return was two to three weeks, which would put him on track to make his next start in the big leagues if the Royals feel he is ready.
