Royals closer Greg Holland headed to DL with pectoral strain (Big League Stew)

The Kansas City Royals are going to have to make do without closer Greg Holland for at least a couple weeks.

Holland was placed on the 15-day DL on Saturday with a right pectoral strain, less than a day after pitching a scoreless ninth and picking up a save in Kansas City's 6-4 win over Oakland.

Nothing from Holland's performance so far this season suggested he was hurt, he hasn't allowed a hit or a run in four innings of work, but Ned Yost told reporters the issue actually flared up last weekend.
