Royals' Dillon Gee: Confirmed as Tuesday's starter

Gee has been confirmed as the starter for Tuesday's game against the Angels, Rustin Dodd of the Kansas City Star reports.

Analysis:

Manager Ned Yost had been undecided about Tuesday's starter, but he confirmed Monday afternoon that it will indeed be Gee. That means the Royals will pivot away from Brian Flynn, who was touched up for three earned runs in just 2.1 innings his last time out. Gee pitched 5.1 innings of relief in that contest, so the belief is that he'll be stretched out enough to be an effective option.
