About a month from now, a new class of non-tenders will hit the free agent market. We've been breaking down the cases for and against tendering players contracts, but let's take a look at the players who were non-tendered from 2007-09. This list doesn't have tons of predictive value, since some teams (like the one atop the list) now have new GMs and others have simply...

Kansas City Royals outfielder Rick Ankiel and left-handed pitcher John Parrish, who both have missed more than 30 games because of injuries, will start minor league rehab assignments Tuesday.

Kansas City Royals outfielder Rick Ankiel and left-handed pitcher John Parrish, who both have missed more than 30 games because of injuries, will start minor league rehab assignments Tuesday. Ankiel, a free agent who the Royals signed for $3.25 million in the offseason, has not started since April 24 because of a pulled right quadriceps.

Royals manager Ned Yost has maintained that injured reliever John Parrish has been making progress as he rehabs from a left rotator cuff inflammation. And on Tuesday, Parrish took a significant step toward doing that, as the 32-year-old threw live batting practice for the first time since he went on the disabled list on April 29.

Left-hander John Parrish moved closer to returning to the bullpen mix on Tuesday, as Parrish threw 30 minutes of live batting practice with no ill effects.

Reliever John Parrish is still not fully recovered from his inflamed rotator cuff, which placed him on the 15-day disabled list, but the lefty is hopeful to return soon. Parrish said he is making progress and will be reevaluated when the Royals return from Boston.

Left-handed reliever John Parrish, who has rotator cuff inflammation, was eligible to come off the disabled list on Tuesday but he's not ready.

A few minor moves for the Royals today: Chris Getz was activated from the DL today after a minor oblique issue. He finished a brief rehab assignment in Omaha yesterday and will be in the lineup tonight at Tampa. To make room for him on the roster, Victor Marte was optioned to Omaha. Marte was recalled yesterday in place of John Parrish who went on the DL. Marte pitched 2.1 innings...

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Kansas City Royals have placed left-hander John Parrish on the 15-day disabled list with left rotator cuff inflammation.

The Kansas City Royals have placed left-hander John Parrish on the 15-day disabled list with left rotator cuff inflammation. The move was made before Thursday night's game against Tampa Bay.

Right-handed reliever Victor Marte will be joining the Royals starting with this weekend’s series at Tampa Bay, according to Bob Holtzman on Twitter. To make room, John Parrish goes on the DL with rotator cuff inflammation in his pitching shoulder. Marte pitched in eight games as a September call-up in 2009 for Kansas City, making his Major League debut on September 6 vs...

Royals left-hander John Parrish hasn't pitched since Saturday because of a sore throwing shoulder.

MINNEAPOLIS | What the Royals needed was for the rest of their relief corps to start pitching like John Parrish. Not the other way around. Parrish caught the bullpen virus Saturday afternoon when he surrendered a tie-breaking homer to Orlando Hudson in the seventh inning that sent the Royals to a 6-5 loss to the Minnesota Twins at Target Field.

Orlando Hudson hit a game-winning home run leading off the eighth inning, the Twins' bullpen pitched four scoreless innings and Minnesota stretched its winning streak to five games with a 6-5 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Saturday. With the game tied 5-5, Hudson hit a shot off Kansas City reliever John Parrish (1-1) that bounced off the facing of the second level of seats in left...

DETROIT | Lefty reliever John Parrish doesn’t care, he insists, that he wears a uniform number — 67 — more closely associated with NFL linemen. “It’s my fifth or sixth number,” he said. “Numbers don’t mean anything to me. And anyway, everybody already has the good numbers.”

DETROIT | Lefty reliever John Parrish doesn't care, he insists, that he wears a uniform number — 67 — more closely associated with NFL linemen.

It was little more than a footnote that Royals lefty John Parrish threw five pitches in the eighth inning Monday and retired the only batter he faced in an 8-4 loss to the Detroit Tigers. So let’s flesh out that footnote.
