Kris Medlen (shoulder) might not make next start for Royals

Kansas City Royals pitcher Kris Medlen might not be able to make his next scheduled start due to a shoulder issue.

What It Means:

Medlen is having his shoulder looked at by team doctors on Thursday, so we should have a better idea of his availability by the end of the day.

He has really struggled this season, posting a 5.99 SIERA and 15.1 percent strikeout rate in 24.1 innings. His 0.97 nERD ranks 236th.
