MINNEAPOLIS -- Royals manager Ned Yost told reporters Saturday that right-hander Nate Karns is having his forearm examined.
"Of course, he's getting looked at. But we have no updates," Yost said.
Karns spun five innings of one-run ball in a no-decision against the Twins in Friday's 4-3 loss. He was pulled after just 72 pitches, however, as he felt stiffness near the top of his right forearm starting in the second inning.
Afterward, Karns said if it were later in the year, he may have been able to go deeper into the game despite the stiffness.
