Scoreless effort in rehab outing Kolek (oblique) allowed no runs on three hits and a walk over four innings with Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday. He struck out two.

Impact Kolek made the first start of his rehab assignment as he works his way back from a Grade 1 left oblique strain suffered in spring training. The right-hander threw 54 pitches (36 strikes) and maintained a fastball velocity of 94.3 mph, in line with his previous levels. The 28-year-old will likely continue to build up his workload before being activated from the injured list, though he may be ticketed to remain at Triple-A upon activation with no clear opening in the big-league rotation at the moment.

Impact Kolek is in the process of building back up after suffering a Grade 1 left oblique strain in late February and missing the remainder of the Cactus League.

Kolek isn't projected to return from the Royals' injured list until late April or early May.

Out with strained oblique The Royals placed Kolek (oblique) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact Kolek strained his left oblique in late February. He's been throwing off a mound and close to returning to game action, though the righty could be assigned to Triple-A Omaha rather than the major-league club once he's healthy.

MARCH 25 • ROTOWIRE

Progressing in rehab Kolek (oblique) threw a second bullpen Saturday and could pitch in minor-league spring training games in another week, MLB.com reports.

Impact Kolek is gradually building back up as he recovers from the Grade 1 left oblique strain he suffered while warming up Feb. 25, logging bullpen sessions Wednesday and Saturday. The right-hander's progression is a positive sign in avoiding a long-term absence, though it remains likely he opens the season on the injured list. With the Royals' rotation set with Cole Ragans, Seth Lugo, Kris Bubic, Michael Wacha and Noah Cameron, Kolek is likely ticketed to begin the year at Triple-A Omaha.

MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE

Begins mound work Kolek (oblique) threw a bullpen session Wednesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Impact Wednesday marked Kolek's first time throwing off a mound since he suffered a left oblique strain in late February. With just nine days remaining until the Royals' regular-season opener, it's unlikely that the 28-year-old righty will have enough time before then to build up to a starter's workload. However, he may be able to work as a multi-inning reliever in the meantime.

MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE

Playing catch Kolek (oblique) began playing catch from up to 60 feet Monday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Impact Kolek was shut down for more than a week after being diagnosed with a Grade 1 left oblique strain. He will be slowly ramped back up before returning to Cactus League action. The right-hander should be healthy for Opening Day, barring setbacks, but the injury has significantly lessened his chances of obtaining a spot in the Royals' rotation.
