Royals infielder Danny Valencia was forced to leave Thursday's spring training game against the Angels after being hjt on the left hand, but he appears to have avoided a serious issue. According to the Kansas City Star, manager Ned Yost said Valencia is fine, but he is expected to undergo an X-ray Friday to determine the extent of the injury.
Valencia is batting just .206 in 34 spring at-bats, and is expected to serve as a utility infielder for the Royals this season.
