Mike Minor rumors have been giving KC Royals fans hope since the rotation melted down with injuries to Kris Medlen and Chris Young in May. Workout reports and early rehab assignment indicated his fastball sat in the mid 90’s, which gave hope that Minor would provide substantial help to the KC Royals hurting rotation by mid-season.
General manager Dayton Moore signed former Atlanta Braves pitcher Mike Minor to a two-year, $7.25 million deal last winter knowing that he was unlikely to return before mid-season due to recovery from shoulder surgery.
