Carlos Estévez will begin a rehab assignment in Omaha.
Right-handed pitcher Carlos Estévez is anticipating to start his rehab assignment Tuesday with the Triple-A Omaha Storm Chasers on the road against Indianapolis, the Royals announced Monday.
EstĂ©vez was placed on the injury list on April 1 with a foot contusion after being hit by a line drive in the season-opening series against the Atlanta Braves. Heâs pitched three live batting sessions at the teamâs facilities in Arizona, Royals manager Matt Quatraro told reporters.
Anne Rogers also wrote about EstĂ©vezâs impending return.
âWeâd like to see his velocity climb a little bit,â Picollo said. âHeâs been in that 92-93 range in these live BPs, which is a great sign. We anticipate, when he gets under the lights in a game situation, weâll probably see a little bit more. There will be better adrenaline than a live BP. But the other big part of it is command. Heâs got to be able to command the ball. You put two things together with velocity thatâs below the norm and command thatâs below his norm, itâs a tough way to survive. But weâd like to see the command piece come along just as much as the velocity.â
