SportsBeat KC: Salvy’s back, Duffy gets ball ... Opening Day is shaping up for Royals
The Royals are another day closer to Opening Day and getting a little healthier. Catcher Salvador Perez participated in his first scrimmage Tuesday and singled in his first at-bat. The club will play three exhibition games in three days starting Monday before its regular-season opener Friday in Cleveland.
Beat writer Lynn Worthy and columnist Sam Mellinger join Blair Kerkhoff on this episode of SportsBeat KC, The Star’s daily podcast, to talk baseball and how the Royals are shaping up for this shortened, 60-game season. After a break, you’ll hear from pitcher Tim Hill, a lefty reliever who, despite health concerns, decided not to opt out of the season.
