Makes rehab start
Lorenzen (oblique) allowed four runs on four hits and three walks over three innings Tuesday with Double-A Northwest Arkansas. He struck out five.
Analysis
Lorenzen struggled in his first rehab outing Tuesday, surrendering two home runs -- including one to top prospect Walker Jenkins -- as he works his way back from a left oblique strain. Prior to the injury, the veteran had been serviceable but unspectacular, compiling a 4.61 ERA and 1.30 WHIP across 99.2 innings in 18 starts. The Royals' rotation remains unsettled with Kris Bubic (shoulder) out for the year and Cole Ragans (shoulder) also sidelined, leading to the recent additions of Bailey Falter and Ryan Bergert, both of whom have already made their team debuts. Lorenzen's role once he's fully healthy will be an interesting storyline to track.

Starting rehab assignment
Lorenzen (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Arkansas on Tuesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Lorenzen landed on the 15-day injured list prior to the All-Star break due to an oblique strain. He was cleared to throw bullpen sessions last week, and he is ready to take the next step in his throwing program by embarking on a rehab assignment. Lorenzen posted a 4.61 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 85:29 K:BB across 99.2 innings prior to his injury.

Completes live BP session
Lorenzen (oblique) faced five batters in a live batting practice session Thursday, MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Assuming Lorenzen experienced no complications in his recovery from a left oblique strain coming out of the workout, he's expected to begin a rehab assignment at some point during the upcoming week. Lorenzen has been on the shelf since July 14, and given the relative brevity of his absence, he could be ready to rejoin the Kansas City rotation after just one rehab start.
