Royals manager Ned Yost reiterated Thursday that Hochevar is likely to start the season on the DL, Andy McCullough of the Kansas City Star reports.
Analysis:
This news is nothing new, as it only furthers the notion that Hochevar will need a couple more weeks to fully recover from his elbow injury. "Odds are, he's going to start the year on the DL," Yost said, "but we haven't cemented that decision." That leaves the door open for Hochevar to start the season on the roster, but at this point that still seems unlikely.
