Royals pitcher Ian Kennedy exited his start Thursday in the top of the fifth inning after being inspected the club’s training staff.
Kennedy allowed four earned runs in 4 1/3 innings before departing. The Royals trailed the White Sox 5-0 as he walked back to the dugout and Mike Minor replaced him. The club did not immediately have an update on Kennedy’s condition.
