Sees game action Saturday
Estevez (shoulder) threw in a game at the Royals' Arizona complex on Saturday, Joel Penfield of KC Sports Network reports.
Analyse
Estevez retired four of the five hitters he faced while showing increased velocity, per Penfield. The veteran right-hander is expected to pitch again in Arizona before embarking on a rehab assignment as he works his way back from a right rotator cuff strain. Estevez has been shelved for virtually all of 2026, hitting the injured list April 1 due to a left foot contusion before suffering the shoulder injury during a rehab appearance May 6.

Nearing rehab assignment
Estevez (shoulder) could begin a rehab assignment this week, MLB.com reports.
Analyse
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.
