A printed schedule in Ned Yost's office at the Rogers Centre presented one main concern for the Royals manager on Tuesday: Who will start Saturday's game in Detroit?
Before cold weather in Kansas City on Sunday and roof damage in Toronto on Monday forced two consecutive postponements, the answer to that question seemed clear. Staff ace Danny Duffy, scheduled to start the series opener against the Blue Jays, was in line for the game.
Now Yost isn't as certain. Bad weather has wrought havoc on the Royals' ability to find a rhythm, so he doesn't want continue to give his starters extended rest.
