Nearing rehab assignment
Estevez (shoulder) could begin a rehab assignment this week, MLB.com reports.
Analisi
Estevez has been progressing in his recovery from a right rotator cuff strain, throwing bullpen sessions that have him on the verge of embarking on a rehab assignment. Given the right-hander's lengthy layoff, the Royals are likely to give him extended time to find his footing in the minor leagues before returning him to the big-league roster. The 33-year-old has been out since April 1, initially due to a left foot contusion before he suffered the shoulder injury in a rehab outing May 6.

Slated to throw bullpen Sunday
Estevez (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen Sunday before being re-evaluated, per MLB.com.
Analisi
Estevez has been on the injured list since April 1, initially due to a left foot contusion before he suffered a right rotator cuff strain during a rehab outing May 6. The veteran right-hander began a mound progression Aug. 7 and has yet to experience any hiccups. The Royals have struggled mightily to fill the closer role in Estevez's absence this season, with Steven Cruz currently serving as the top option in the ninth inning.
