The Royals have been going through major starting pitching issues lately, with Chris Young and Kris Medlen serving as the main culprits for the rotation woes. The pair have combined for a 7.15 ERA in 56 2/3 innings with 4.9 walks per-nine-innings, and are averaging just 4.3 innings pitched per start. Chris Young has already worked himself out of the rotation, to be replaced by Dillon Gee, and may be headed to the disabled list. Kris Medlen is still scheduled to pitch Sunday's game against Atlanta, although a potential shoulder injury now puts that start in jeopardy.
