Royals' Bubba Starling: Nearing return

Starling (undisclosed) could return from the injured list for this weekend's series against the Twins, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

Starling hit the injured list for undisclosed reasons in early August. He'd struggled to a .211/.273/.263 slash line in nine games prior to landing on the injured list. He'll likely be the fourth outfielder once he returns.
