Lorenzen left his start against Washington on Wednesday as a precaution due to lower-body fatigue.

EDGE Analysis

Lorenzen was activated off the injured list earlier Wednesday after missing the past month with a hamstring strain, so the Royals likely didn't want to push it once he reported discomfort on the mound in the third inning. The 32-year-old's abbreviated outing will presumably mark the end of his regular season, giving him a 3.37 ERA and 1.25 WHIP alongside a 94:60 K:BB across 25 games (24 starts), and he'll now look to prepare for the Royals' postseason run.

Lorenzen was removed from Wednesday's game against the Nationals due to an apparent injury, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lorenzen was able to get through 2.1 innings in his first start back from the injured list before motioning for a trainer to come take a look at him. The Royals haven't yet specified what was bothering the right-hander enough for him to ask out of the game, though it may be related to the hamstring injury that kept him sidelined for nearly a month prior to Wednesday's outing.

The Royals activated Lorenzen (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Lorenzen will rejoin the rotation Wednesday versus the Nationals after missing the last four weeks of action with a strained hamstring. The righty was limited to 1.2 and 3.2 innings in his two minor-league rehab appearances, so he'll likely be operating on a restricted workload in what will be his final start of the regular season.

EDGE Analysis

Lorenzen took the hill for Omaha on two days' rest after opening his rehab assignment with a 1.2-inning appearance for Double-A Northwest Arkansas on Tuesday. According to MLB.com, Royals manager Matt Quatraro said Sunday that Lorenzen felt more soreness than usual in his most recent rehab outing, so he'll be re-examined in Kansas City this week before the club determines his next step.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander gave up three runs over 1.2 innings during his first rehab outing Tuesday with Double-A Northwest Arkansas, and he'll follow that abbreviated appearance with another start Friday. Lorenzen is working his way back from the Grade 2 hamstring strain he sustained in late August, and it remains to be seen if he'll require another rehab outing before being activated from the injured list.

EDGE Analysis

It hasn't been specified which minor-league affiliate Lorenzen will report to for the his rehab assignment. He's dealing with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain sustained in late August, so it's possible he'll just need one outing to get back up to speed, though a clearer timeline will likely emerge once he's completed his rehab start.

Lorenzen was diagnosed with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain after undergoing an MRI on Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Royals placed Lorenzen on the 15-day injured list that same day due to the hamstring strain, which carries a 2-to-3-week recovery timetable. Lorenzen will be able to keep his arm in shape by playing catch while he's on the mend from the injury, but he'll need time for the muscle in his right leg to heal before he's able to step back on the mound for a bullpen session. Alec Marsh was called up from Triple-A Omaha on Sunday to replace Lorenzen in the rotation.
