WASHINGTON — Kansas City Royals right-hander Michael Lorenzen departed in the third inning of his start against the Washington Nationals on Wednesday night in his first action since a return from the injured list. Lorenzen (left hamstring) was activated pregame from the 15-day IL to make his first start since Aug. 27. Lorenzen struck out two batters, retired seven and did not allow a hit over 28 pitches. He departed with a 1-0 lead midway through Nasim Nuñez's at-bat after a visit from the training staff. Daniel Lynch IV entered and completed another scoreless frame.
