Royals' Michael Lorenzen: Makes return over weekend
Michael Lorenzen (lower body) struck out three and allowed an unearned run on one hit in two innings out of the bullpen in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Atlanta.Lorenzen made his final start of the regular season last Wednesday, when he tossed two-plus innings against the Nationals before leaving early due to lower-body fatigue. He made his return to action out of the bullpen a few days later, with the clean appearance assuaging any concerns about his health. He was included on the Kansas City Royals' 26-man wild-card roster but went unused during the club's two-game sweep of the Orioles.

Royals' Michael Lorenzen: Removal deemed precautionary
Michael Lorenzen left his start against Washington on Wednesday as a precaution due to lower-body fatigue.Lorenzen was activated off the injured list earlier Wednesday after missing the past month with a hamstring strain, so the Kansas City Royals likely didn't want to push it once he reported discomfort on the mound in the third inning. The 32-year-old's abbreviated outing will presumably mark the end of his regular season, leaving him with a 3.37 ERA and 1.25 WHIP alongside a 94:60 K:BB across 25 appearances (24 starts), and he'll now look to prepare for the Royals' postseason run.
