David Lough (wrist) is expected to return to the lineup Tuesday against the Twins. Lough was hit by a pitch on Saturday, but it was never a major concern. He was able to get through batting practice Sunday and should be available to start following the Royals' off-day. Lough is batting .289 (11-for-38) though his first 12 games.
