As the team faces their rivals, they'll still be missing Greg Holland in the bullpen and Cain in center field. Cain in particular was re-injured during his rehab when he had a problem with a hip flexor. He was originally trying to come back from a groin injury.
In the bigger picture, the Royals are trying to extend a winning streak that came on the heels of a news-making 12 game losing streak. They've now won two in a row and another win would continue to hearten the hopes of fans after an early season disaster.
