Royals' closer on the shelf today

Kansas City Royals closer Octavio Dotel, a free-agent signing in the offseason, will not be used in today's game because he is still recovering from a slight strain in his left oblique, according to the Kansas City Star.

The newspaper says Dotel may be ready later in the three-game series. For now, the club plans to use former Red Sox reliever David Riske as interim closer.
