Klein will be sidelined for the start of the minor-league season while he contends with shin splints, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
News of Klein's injury first became available Monday, when the Royals didn't list him on any of the season-opening active rosters the organization released for its minor-league affiliates. The 22-year-old right-hander spent his first professional campaign at High-A Quad Cities, finishing with a 3.20 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 121:44 K:BB across 70.1 innings.
