It’s a good thing the Kansas City Royals aren’t playing October baseball or they could potentially be down a bullpen arm right now. All joking aside, Richard Lovelady underwent successful right knee surgery as confirmed by his Instagram as well as the team. The former 10th round pick of the 2016 MLB Draft had a rough go of it in 25 appearances with the big league club, which could have been attributed to the knee injury.
Obviously being a southpaw, Lovelady plants with his right leg but I’m purely speculating at this point on how the injury happened.
