SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Royals infielder Omar Infante continues to make progress and is on track to play the field in a Cactus League game for the first time later this week.
Infante, who had surgery to shave down a bone spur in his right elbow during the offseason, went 0-for-4 in his Cactus League debut as a designated hitter against the Cubs on Monday. He will DH again in a split-squad game Wednesday and could play defense in a game in "the next couple of days," Royals manager Ned Yost said.
