Royals' Yordano Ventura: Set to start Tuesday

Ventura will return from his eight-game suspension to start Tuesday's game against the Cardinals, Josh Vernier of 610 sports radio in Kansas City reports.

Analysis:

As expected, Ventura will slot back into the rotation after competing his suspension Monday night. The right-hander, who hasn't pitched in 11 days, will look to build on his last two starts, in which he's allowed just one combined earned run with 15 strikeouts over 13.1 cumulative innings.
