It may be a while before Royals prospects Bubba Starling and Adalberto Mondesi are in Cactus League games together again.
In the days since the Royals signed outfielder Jon Jay to a one-year contract on Tuesday, Starling’s oblique soreness has not improved.
Manager Ned Yost on Friday said Starling would be held out of practice for an extended period as he recovers from the injury, which is usually a slow process. Starling was shut down late last season after he injured his right oblique on throws in the outfield twice in two months.
This recent injury afflicts the left side.
