MINNEAPOLIS — Zack Greinke has been dealing with soreness in his right forearm/flexor area that has likely led to some of the bad results the Royals’ veteran starter has seen recently. Greinke allowed five runs — all coming on three homers — across four innings in the Royals’ 7-3 loss to the Twins at Target […]

DETROIT — Jeimer Candelario was supposed to be getting Sunday off in part to clear his head. Instead, he cleared the fences. Harold Castro had started in Candelario’s place, with manager A.J.

ST. LOUIS — In the midst of playing 18 games in 17 days, Milwaukee’s rotation had begun to enter the danger zone.
