KC Royals manager Ned Yost announced Chris Young would start Game 4 of the American League Championship Series in Toronto, rather than the much anticipated selection of Kris Medlen.
According to Kansas City Star writer Vahe Gregorian:
Yost also suggested one of the reasons the Royals had used him [Chris Young] less late in the season was to have him fresh for “these type of scenarios,” reflecting the organization’s cognizance of how a fatigued Young had faded in the second half of last season as he was recovering from thoracic outlet syndrome.
