"We'll see. I'd like to get through today before we start talking about the future," Price said. "As I've mentioned before, we look at them all. I know he's struggled lately, and we have to have a proactive plan on what's in the best interest of all five of these young starters."
Price did not discuss alternatives, but a chance could open for No. 2 prospect Robert Stephenson, or perhaps John Lamb -- one of the acquisitions from the Royals in the Johnny Cueto trade. Both are at Triple-A Louisville.
Since his last victory on June 21, Lorenzen is 0-6 with an 8.
