The two Kansas City Royals players who came down with the chicken pox have rejoined their teammates.
Alex Rios and Kelvin Herrera made their first appearance at Kauffman Stadium since they were diagnosed a week earlier in Tampa.
They were cleared by the team’s doctors on Sunday and Royals manager Ned Yost had the option to use them.
“The outbreak wasn’t severe enough in terms of their bodies with a bunch of the little chicken pox things they have,” Rios didn’t play in last night’s game, but Yost used Kelvin Herrera in relief against Minnesota.
The Royals lost, 6-2, to match their longest losing streak this season for the third time at four straight.
