Royals eyeing a Saturday return for Ian Kennedy (hamstring)

The Kansas City Royals are hoping starting pitcher Ian Kennedy (hamstring) will be ready to return to the rotation on Saturday.

What It Means:

Kennedy has been on the disabled list since May 5 with the hamstring strain, but if he makes it through a bullpen session on Wednesday without any issues, the veteran will return to the rotation versus the Minnesota Twins on Saturday.

Through six starts and 35 2/3 innings pitched this season, Kennedy owns a 0-3 record with a 4.50 SIERA and 10.6 percent walk rate.
