Means (elbow) is scheduled to make his next rehab start for Triple-A Columbus on Sunday, MLB.com reports.

Means will be making his fourth rehab start and second for Columbus. He was knocked around in his previous outing at Triple-A on Tuesday, allowing four runs on three hits (all home runs) in three innings. Means had much better results in his first two rehab starts, which came with High-A Lake County.

The Royals optioned Kolek to Triple-A Omaha on Sunday.

The right-hander was called up for a spot start Saturday and allowed just one run over six innings in a no-decision against Detroit, but he won't stick on the big-league roster with Michael Wacha returning from the paternity list Sunday. Kolek could rejoin the big club down the stretch, but he may have a difficult time finding a spot in the Kansas City rotation while all of Wacha, Seth Lugo, Michael Lorenzen, Noah Cameron and Ryan Bergert are available.

The Royals reinstated Wacha (personal) from the paternity list to start Sunday's game against the Tigers.

The right-hander has been away from the team for the past couple days to be with his growing family, but he's back with the Royals for his usual turn through the rotation Sunday versus Detroit. Wacha will look to maintain his strong form through five August starts, as he has a 2.87 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 18:3 K:BB over 31.1 innings this month.

Rogers (8-2) earned the win over San Francisco on Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and no walks while striking out five batters over seven innings.

The only run Rogers allowed came on a Willy Adames home run in the first inning. The veteran southpaw was otherwise dominant, surrendering just four singles. Rogers' campaign has been among the best stories in MLB; after posting an ERA no better than 4.00 over his previous three seasons, he's at a minuscule 1.39 ERA across 14 starts spanning 90.1 innings. Per Jake Rill of MLB.com, that mark is the lowest by any Baltimore pitcher through 14 starts in a season, besting Jim Palmer's 1.51 mark in 1975.

Flaherty allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out four batters over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against Kansas City on Saturday.

Flaherty was crushed for eight runs over five frames against the Royals in his previous start, but he fared much better against the same offense Saturday. The right-hander gave up just one run on a solo shot by Maikel Garcia in the fourth frame and finished one out shy of a quality start. It was a fitting end to what has been a very inconsistent August for the veteran hurler -- he surrendered five-plus runs in three starts while giving up one or zero runs in each of his other three outings.

Kolek allowed one run on four hits and no walks while striking out three batters over six innings in a no-decision against Detroit on Saturday.

Kolek got an opportunity to start Saturday after the Royals decided to give Noah Cameron some extra rest between starts, and with Michael Wacha on paternity leave. Kolek made the most of the opportunity, limiting the Tigers to a lone fourth-inning run while needing just 71 pitches to complete six frames. Though the right-hander made a strong impression in his debut with Kansas City, it's unclear if there's room for him to get another turn in the rotation with five healthy starters in front of him.

Gilbert (4-6) allowed three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out six batters over six innings in a loss to Cleveland on Saturday.

Gilbert gave up just one run over his first five innings before Kyle Manzardo tagged him for a two-run homer in the sixth. That was enough to saddle the right-hander with the loss, as Seattle wasn't able to put any runs on the board until the seventh frame. Despite the defeat, Gilbert was mostly impressive -- he racked up 15 whiffs on 93 pitches and notched his third quality start over his past four outings. He'll carry a 3.73 ERA into his next start, which is slated to come in Atlanta next week.

Bradley didn't factor into the decision against the Padres on Saturday, allowing one run on one hit and three walks while striking out six over five innings.

Bradley's second start with the Twins went remarkably better than his first, when he was tagged for seven earned runs in a loss to the White Sox. On Saturday, the right-hander allowed just one hit, a solo homer to Elias Diaz in the fifth, while striking out six. The effort served as an encouraging rebound and showed the potential swing-and-miss stuff Minnesota hoped to add when acquiring him at the trade deadline. Bradley will carry a 4.28 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 102:48 K:BB into his next scheduled start against the Royals, a favorable matchup given Kansas City's struggles against right-handers.

Barnett (0-1) allowed five runs on eight hits and struck out one without walking a batter over four-plus innings to take the loss versus the Rangers on Saturday.

Barnett gave up three runs in the second inning, and he was chased in the fifth after Wyatt Langford's solo home run. Barnett was limited to 66 pitches (42 strikes) in his major-league debut. He has a 5.83 ERA and 123:60 K:BB across 117.1 innings with Triple-A Las Vegas this year, a potential harbinger of how things might go for him in the majors. If he gets another start, which is possible due to the numerous injuries in the Athletics' rotation, he's tentatively projected to face the Angels on the road.

Kelly (11-7) allowed three runs on six hits and struck out two without walking a batter over 6.1 innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Saturday.

This was Kelly's second straight win and fourth straight quality start. It was also the third time in six starts with the Rangers where he didn't walk a batter. He gave up solo home runs to Lawrence Butler and Brent Rooker in the third inning, but the Rangers' lead was never under any serious threat. Kelly is now at a 3.24 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 149:46 K:BB through 164 innings over 28 starts between Texas and Arizona. He's projected to avoid facing his former team next week and is instead lined up for a home start versus the Astros.
