Jul 1 Guillen didn't start for the second straight game because of a stiff left side. He pinch-hit in the sixth and stayed in the game as the Royals lost 2-1 to Minnesota. Guillen was 0 for 2.

Advice: Royals manager Trey Hillman says the stiffness starts in Guillen's lower back and runs up his entire left side. Guillen has been playing through the off-and-on problem, but Hillman decided to give him some time off with the team set to play 15 straight days.
