SEATTLE
Yordano Ventura will make a rehabilitation start on Friday for Class AAA Omaha as he returns to action after missing time due to irritation in his ulnar nerve in his right elbow.
Ventura will throw a five-inning stint that should last about 75 pitches, manager Ned Yost said.
“We’ll see how he does, how he gets through it,” Yost said before the Royals finished their series with the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night at Safeco Field.
Yost has mapped out his rotation until July 5, which is when Ventura could pitch again in the majors.
