Could right-hander Kyle Zimmer be the next in line?
"That would be nice," Zimmer said, smiling. "Those guys have had pretty good success. This is a boring answer but all I can do is worry about today. Right now, I just want to stay healthy."
Zimmer's injury history has been well-documented since the Royals took him in the first round of the 2012 Draft. His latest medical procedure was having thoracic outlet syndrome surgery last August, and his recovery from that has been encouraging.
Zimmer's first outing this spring was a two-inning start. His next outing Saturday came in the eighth inning and Zimmer put the Giants down 1-2-3, then headed to the clubhouse.
