News: Soria (shoulder) was activated from the DL on Tuesday night, the Royals' official site reports.
Analysis: He's ready to go after making two appearances in intrasquad games over the weekend. Sidney Ponson was placed on the DL with an elbow strain to clear space on the roster for Soria's return.
Friday, May 29, 2009
News: Soria (shoulder) will throw 20-25 pitches in an extended spring training game Saturday in Arizona, the Kansas City Star reports. If all goes well, he could return to the Royals without making a minor league rehab stop.
Analysis: "We'll make an evaluation on whether he needs to go to (Triple-A) Omaha," general manager Dayton Moore said. It looks like Soria could return sooner than expected, perhaps as early as next week before Kansas City begins a nine-game road trip on Tuesday.
