Royals Rotation Decision Looms With Medlens Expected Return

Early in this 2016 MLB season, the KC Royals starting rotation has already had its share of injuries. Initially, the starting Rotation included Edison Volquez, Ian Kennedy, Yordano Ventura, Kris Medlen, and Chris Young.

So far Volquez has looked as good as he did in 2015, and so far Kennedy has been the pitcher that Dayton Moore and Ned Yost hoped he would be. Ventura has had some walk issues but otherwise has been just ok.

However, the other 2/5 of the rotation including Chris Young and Kris Medlen have been mostly

bad.
