The Royals re-signed right-handers Michael Wacha and Michael Lorenzen over the winter while adding right-hander Carlos Estévez to the bullpen in free agency. In their lone trade, they sent right-hander Brady Singer to the Cincinnati Reds for second baseman Jonathan India and outfielder Joey Wiemer. The club has some dings this spring, with fourth outfielder Dairon Blanco (Achilles), infielder Nick Loftin (illness), closer Carlos Estevez (back) and relievers James McArthur (elbow) and Sam Long (hand) all day-to-day.

San Francisco signed shortstop Willy Adames to a seven-year free-agent contract, but the only other significant addition was 42-year-old three-time Cy Young winner Justin Verlander. The Giants lost left-hander Blake Snell and veterans Mark Canha, Curt Casali and Michael Conforto in free agency and traded reliever Taylor Rogers to the Cincinnati Reds for a prospect. Catcher Tom Murphy (back) remains out and reliever Erik Miller (illness) had been scheduled to return to action on Friday.

The Royals won a rain-shortened 8-2 decision over the Los Angeles Angels in six innings on Friday while San Francisco’s matchup with the Cincinnati Reds was washed out. Right-hander Carson Ragsdale, who fanned four in two scoreless innings on Feb. 24, is set for his first start on Saturday, opposed by Wacha, who struck out four while allowing three runs in two innings on Feb. 26.
