A lot of news items to catch up on that have happened over the weekend.

Bruce Chen returns to the majors and pitches okay. He gives up four runs in 6 1/3 innings, basically the same performance that you might expect from Kyle Davies, the pitcher he replaced. The big positive for Chen was that he walked no one. Davies walked way too many, over 4.5 per [...]

Earlier today, Peter Gammons tweeted this tidbit:"Best name today Mark Teahen. SF, Bos, Cubs, WS, Mets...on."Gammons squeezed as much as he could under the character count, but it's enough information to make it interesting. Teahen was the subject of discussion earlier this week, as the Royals were said to be open to dealing their "non-core players." Jon Paul...

Looks like the doubts surrounding the report that the Pirates were going to sign Cheslor Cuthbert were valid. DK is reporting today that he'll sign with the guys across the field for $1.5 million; twice what the Pirates were rumored to be offering.
As for the game itself, our ability to make anyone look good will be put to a real test today. Bruce Chen takes the mound tonight...

Mark this down as another notable growth point in what the Royals hope is a steady upward curve for right-hander Luke Hochevar — and not just because he worked seven scoreless innings Monday in a 4-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins. Ultimately, that mattered most, of course. But Hochevar battled early command problems before finding a groove. In-game corrections haven&rsquo...
