KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals will have to continue their postseason push without one of their most consistent starters.
The club announced Thursday it placed starting pitcher Seth Lugo on the 15-day injured list with a lower back strain.
Right-handed pitcher Stephen Kolek was called up from Triple-A Omaha to fill Lugo’s spot on the roster.
