Royals' Eric Hosmer: Elbow swollen

Hosmer has a swollen right elbow after being HBP in the WBC Championship game, 610 Sports Radio's Josh Vernier reports.

Analysis:

Hosmer didn't have to leave the game at all, so it doesn't appear to be anything overly serious. He'll take Friday off and will be reevaluated on Saturday, so expect another update on his status then.
