Royals' Hernandez Misses Start
SEATTLE -- Kansas City Royals right-hander Runelvys Hernandez was scratched from his start against the Seattle Mariners to give his sore elbow a few more days of rest.
Darrell May pitched for the Royals instead. Manager Tony Pena said Hernandez (4-3) will probably miss another start, though it wasn't immediately known when he'd be able to return to the rotation.
May, making his seventh start of the season, had come out of the bullpen in his last two appearances, last week at Minnesota and Sunday at Toronto.
The Royals were forced to shuffle their rotation for the rest of the three-game series. Kansas City will start Miguel Asencio (2-1) on Wednesday against Seattle's Freddy Garcia (3-5), and Chris George (4-3) on Thursday against Gil Meche (5-2).
Hernandez has lost three straight, including a 7-0 defeat at Minnesota last Wednesday.
