Bannister was going to start today, but Farnsworth took his place so that they can get another look at him against a tough lineup. Banny will be throwing a minor league game instead.

Mr. Ankiel has rejoined the lineup as the DH, so we'll see how that goes.

Not sure who else is pitching for KC, but Joel Pineiro will face the Royals for the second time this spring.

Gameday here.
