Felipe Paulino (Royals)

5/21/12 9:45 pm

Felipe Paulino was superb Monday, shutting the Yankees out on six hits and two walks while striking out eight over 6 2/3 innings in the 6-0 win.

Paulino has now tossed 12 2/3 scoreless innings in two starts against the Yankees this season and spun seven scoreless frames against the Orioles the last time out. We’re not convinced he’ll keep it up over the long haul, but Paulino can be nasty when he’s on and should remain in lineups with a 1.42 ERA over his first four starts. He’ll get the Orioles this weekend.

Mike Moustakas (Royals)

5/21/12 9:40 pm

Mike Moustakas stayed hot Monday, belting a two-run homer in a win over the Yankees.

He also drew a walk. Moustakas now has seven bombs on the year to go along with a .295 average and 19 RBI. He suffered his lumps last year and still doesn’t have an ideal K/BB ratio, but Moose looks like he’ll be a fantasy force this season.

Chris Getz (Royals)

Chris Getz left Monday’s game in the fifth inning after aggravating a bruised rib.

Getz went 1-for-2 before being replaced with Irving Falu at second base. He originally injured the rib in a collision at first base with Orioles’ infielder Chris Davis last week. Stay tuned for an update on his status.

Nate Adcock (Royals)

5/20/12 4:43 pm

Making a spot start in place of Everett Teaford, Nate Adcock held the Diamondbacks to one run on five hits in five innings of Sunday’s loss.

Adcock struck out three and walked one. It’s unclear how long Teaford (abdominal) might be out, but Adcock should be in line for at least one more start. He’ll get the Orioles in Baltimore next weekend.

Jeff Francoeur (Royals)

Jeff Francoeur went 4-for-4 with a triple in Sunday’s 2-0 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Francoeur’s big day stood out in a game where there were only 12 total hits. The multi-hit day was just his fourth of the month. Francoeur will bring a .255/.305/.366 triple slash into play on Monday.

Yuniesky Betancourt (Royals)

5/19/12 4:35 pm

Yuniesky Betancourt (ankle) is scheduled to begin his rehab assignment next week.

Betancourt was placed on the disabled list earlier this month with a high ankle sprain, and will likely need to miss more than the minimum. The 30-year-old infielder was batting .280/.333/.420 with one home run and three RBI in 54 plate appearances this season prior to the injury.

Salvador Perez (knee) is ahead of schedule in his recovery and will report to extended spring training early next week.

Royals manager Ned Yost estimated that Perez is about 3-4 weeks away from returning. If all goes well, he could return sometime before the All-Star break.

Royals recalled RHP Nate Adcock from Triple-A Omaha.

He’ll start in place of the injured Everett Teaford (abdominal strain) on Sunday. Adcock has been up and down the the Royals several times this year, and will likely continue to function as a swingman/sixth starter.

Everett Teaford (Royals)

Royals placed LHP Everett Teaford on the 15-day disabled list with a lower abdominal strain.

Teaford was expected to start Sunday against the Diamondbacks, but is apparently dealing with a previously undisclosed injury. The Royals have recalled Nate Adcock in a corresponding move.
