Last week was a week of nightmares for the Kansas City Royals when it came to injuries. While they welcomed back the likes of Cole Ragans, Michael Wacha and Steven Cruz off the IL, they sent Lucas Erceg, Ryan Bergert and Kyle Isbel to the shelf.
On top of that, they also ended the weekend off with the news that their newly extended front-end starter, Seth Lugo, would be shut down for the rest of the season.
Amid the revolving door of injuries and returns, some individual transactions and shuffles have gotten lost on the fold, with one in particular that could foreshadow a key offseason decision pertaining to impending free agent arm Michael Lorenzen.
