Royals pitcher Gee out for season with blood clots

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Right-hander Dillon Gee has two blood clots and will not pitch again this season for the Kansas City Royals.

Gee was the winning pitcher Sunday at Detroit, but was hospitalized after the game. He returned Tuesday to Kansas City.

"Dillon developed some shortness of breath after the game when we were packing up," Royals manager Ned Yost said before Tuesday's game against Minnesota. "Of course our training staff was phenomenal. They realized right away that something probably wasn't right. [With] Dillon having a history with blood clots, took him straight to the hospital.
