Cleveland Indians, Kansas City Royals starting lineups for May 3, 2021: Game No. 27 Aaron Civale and the Indians take on rookie Daniel Lynch and the Royals.
Adalberto Mondesi - Nearing rehab assignment Royals general manager Dayton Moore said Monday that Mondesi (oblique) could begin a rehab assignment next week, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Impact Mondesi has been progressing well in his recovery, and he recently began taking batting practice at the Royals' alternate training site. The 25-year-old will now join the team to participate in pregame activities such as work in the infield and batting practice, and he could see game action in the minors on a rehab assignment in the near future.

Tillo's placement on the 60-day injured list will make room on the 40-man roster for southpaw Daniel Lynch, whose contract was selected by the Royals in a corresponding move.
