Kansas City catcher Miguel Olivo has been suspended for one game for an animated argument with an umpire in Pittsburgh last Saturday.
Olivo chose to serve the suspension on Wednesday, which left the Royals without an experienced backup catcher for their game against the Minnesota Twins. John Buck, the other catcher, is rehabbing a back injury.
Olivo was also fined an undisclosed amount for what was termed inappropriate actions against umpire Phil Cuzzi.

Royals notebook | Olivo fined and suspended for one game
Royals catcher Miguel Olivo opted not to fight baseball's hierarchy Wednesday after receiving a one-game suspension and a $1,500 fine for actions stemming from his ejection Saturday for arguing a check-swing call with umpire Phil Cuzzi in a 6-2 loss at Pittsburgh.
Team "Bans" Baseball Prospectus Writer, Pain In The Royal Ass
Last week, Rany Jazayerli, blogger and baseball propeller-head of note, went after longtime Royals trainer Nick Swartz, stopping just shy of ripping out the man's heart and waving it at the sun. The team didn't take this so well. Jazayerli, who describes himself as a "dermatologist by day, baseball writer by night, pathetic Royals fan all the time," is no mere fan...
Royals SS Aviles to miss rest of season
Kansas City Royals shortstop Mike Aviles is scheduled to undergo reconstructive surgery on his right elbow and will be lost for the rest of the season, the club announced Wednesday.
Royals' Aviles scheduled for major elbow surgery, looking at 9-12 months of rehab
It is with a sense of relief that Royals shortstop Mike Aviles now looks forward to reconstructive elbow surgery and the prospect of spending the next nine to 12 months in rehabilitation. Uncertainty was far worse.
Turns out Zack Greinke was just lucky in April...
...OK, not really.
But check out this post on Hardball Times by Peter Jensen. Interesting stuff, including some math that says Greinke got relatively lucky on what balls hit into plays turned into outs.
But, regardless, I hope we can get past the Greinke stuff and think about this honestly.
If I'm understanding it correctly -- you and I both know that's a capital letters...
Royals notebook | Radar gun should tell the story Wednesday on Meche
It's no secret the Royals will be watching closely Wednesday afternoon to see if right-hander Gil Meche shows any signs of the dead arm that limited his effectiveness last Friday in Pittsburgh.
Royals pay dearly for mistakes in 2-1 loss to Twins
Pitcher Brian Bannister, 5-6, got a tough-luck loss Tuesday when the Twins topped the Royals 2-1.
Meche bounces back but Royals keep stumbling in 5-1 loss to Twins
Gil Meche showed no signs of a “dead arm” Wednesday afternoon against the Minnesota Twins. The problem was, and remains, all of those dead bats. Throw in another ill-timed defensive blooper and a leaky bullpen and the Royals were left with a 5-1 loss at Kauffman Stadium that served to waste another solid performance from the rotation.

Royals on the Farm 6/30 -- June wrapup
It's June wrapup time. I'm gonna drop the "others of note" and just stick to a top 5 in OPS and WHIP for each team. Feel free to click the links to team sites on the right to check out cumulative stats.

Pinch-hit me, I’m dreaming
As you know, I love those absurd moments of baseball. Fortunately, I live in Kansas City, where the moments are always with arm-length reach.
In the late innings of Wednesday’s game between the Royals and Minnesota Twins, Kansas City Royals manager Trey Hillman made two absolutely remarkable moves.
In the seventh inning, he pinch hit Luis [...]
The arguments that your arguments for firing Trey Hillman are stupid
When a throwaway line in yesterday's post that has nothing to do with the main point -- Zack Greinke -- generates the bulk of the comments, it's probably best to address what's on your mind.
A lot of you are frustrated, and that's fine, you should be. These were real hopes you had in spring training, fanned by an 18-11 start that had people in Kansas City dreaming...
