One possibility is David MacKinnon, who was called up on Saturday. Matt Duffy, who went 0-for-4 while manning third base on Monday, is expected to get most of the starts unless someone emerges. The Angels continue to adjust to the loss of third baseman Anthony Rendon, who is due to undergo season-ending right wrist surgery this week. He will oppose Kansas City for the first time. He still hasn't won a game since he threw a no-hitter on May 10 against the Tampa Bay Rays, going 0-2 with a 4.91 ERA in five starts since.ĭetmers lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday when he yielded four runs on four hits in 3 2/3 innings. Left-hander Reid Detmers (2-3, 4.25 ERA) will be on the mound for Los Angeles to make his 12th start. In his most recent outing, Heasley gave up two runs on five hits in four innings during a no-decision against the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday. Right-hander Jonathan Heasley (1-3, 3.72 ERA) will make his eighth start of the season for the Royals on Tuesday. Any time you're on time with (the fastball), you can hit anything.

Witt said the key for him is to look fastball and adjust from there. He can hit just about everything, as long as he keeps himself in the zone." But every time he does, you can tell he's keeping a really good notebook of where these guys are wanting to go or where they think they can get him out and try to be ahead of it. "There are so many guys in the league he hasn't seen," Matheny said. And Kansas City manager Mike Matheny said he likes what he sees. More important than the numbers to the Royals, however, is Witt's development. 279 on-base percentage is among the league's worst. His eight homers rank second on the team to Salvador Perez's 11, and he is tied for the American League lead with four triples. Witt, who turned 22 last week, is making his way around major league ballparks for the first time. The teams will square off again on Tuesday in Anaheim, Calif. Witt went 0-for-5 on Monday in the Royals' 6-2 win over the host Los Angeles Angels in the opener of a three-game series. is producing mixed results at the plate, but the Royals aren't concerned about the rookie's performance.
