Brooks will start the Royals' Cactus League opener Wednesday against the Rangers, Andy McCullough of the Kansas City Star reports.
Analysis:
Brooks' first cup of coffee in the majors was one to forget, as he surrendered a whopping 13 earned runs in his two appearances (2.2 innings) with Kansas City back in May. The 24-year-old has displayed excellent control throughout his time in the minors (1.4 BB/9) and was better at Triple-A Omaha last season (3.88 ERA, 1.26 WHIP), but he figures to transition to minor league camp after only a couple spring outings with the big club.
