Jun 26 The Royals placed Farnsworth on the 15-day disabled list with a right groin strain Friday.

Advice: Farnsworth, who is 1-4 with a 4.24 ERA, hurt his groin Wednesday night in Houston. Manager Trey Hillman said Farnsworth said the high-stress nature of a right-handed pitcher on a right groin means it will be at least a week before he goes back on the mound. Farnsworth signed with the Royals as a free agent in the offseason.
