Zimmermann (neck) is lined up to start Tuesday against the Royals, Chris McCosky of the Detroit News reports.

Zimmermann received a nerve-blocking injection in Dallas last weekend, but it was part of a preventative maintenance program rather than in response to any setback with his neck. The right-hander played catch Friday without issue and is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Sunday before returning to the mound in Kansas City for his 13th start of the season.
