We don’t really know the status of Danny Duffy, and he won’t be needed for the first couple of weeks. If Duffy can’t go for his first scheduled start, the Kansas City Royals are left with Heath Fillmyer and Ian Kennedy to fill out the rotation.
Fillmyer is my guess for the fourth or fifth spot if Duffy arrives on time. He got torched for seven runs in his last outing, but otherwise has looked good. If Duffy needs more time, the Royals may have to rely on Kennedy to fill the gap.
