Royals' Yordano Ventura: Listed as Friday's starter

Ventura (back) is listed as the probable starter for Friday's game against the Indians.

Lower-back tightness and spasms cut short Ventura's last outing after four innings, but he probably wasn't long for that game anyway (three runs allowed on 10 hits and two walks). It seems he made it through his between-starts bullpen session without any further complications, as he's set to make his final start of the 2016 campaign opposite lefty Ryan Merritt.
