KANSAS CITY -- As the Royals gathered at the White House to celebrate their 2015 World Series championship on Thursday, there were a few faces missing, notably outfielder Lorenzo Cain.
Cain stayed behind to continue to work through his left hamstring injury sustained on June 28.
"He's focused on getting back out," manager Ned Yost said. "It's like Wade [Davis] missing the All-Star Game. It's a big thing to miss, but the priority is getting back on the field."
While the team was in D.C., Cain spent his day getting treatment. Yost said there weren't any setbacks "by any stretch of the imagination," but that Cain had pushed his leg too hard a couple of days earlier, which led to some soreness.
