Kennedy (hamstring) is expected to come the disabled list to start Saturday's game, Rustin Dodd of The Kansas City Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kennedy got through another side session Wednesday without a hitch, all but clearing the way for him to start Saturday against the Twins. The Royals will wait to see how Kennedy's hamstring feels Thursday, but -- barring any setbacks -- he seems to be in line to make his first start since May 4. If the 32-year-old isn't able to make the start, Chris Young would likely fill in for him again.
