Royals notebook: Olivo ticketed for regular duty even after Buck returns

Don’t look for catcher Miguel Olivo to surrender playing time, at least initially, when John Buck rejoins the Royals from the disabled list. Olivo took advantage of regular playing time in June to produce one of the best months of his career — batting .295 with club-leading totals of eight homers and 17 RBIs. His .692 slugging percentage was the highest among any American League player with at least 30 at-bats.
