Royals' Yordano Ventura: Leaves game with back injury

Ventura left Saturday's game with lower-back tightness and spasms, Rustin Dodd of the Kansas City Star reports.

Analysis:

After throwing a complete game his last time out, Ventura was roughed up for three runs on 10 hits and two walks in four innings Saturday against Detroit prior to exiting the game. He was scheduled to make one more start before the end of the regular season, but his status for that outing is now uncertain and will remain that way until the team sees how he progresses in the coming days.
