Notes: Nelson's shoulder concerns KC
Butler continues torrid spring; LaRue, Buck battle for job

SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Joe Nelson's lingering shoulder problems could force the Royals to start the season without one of their best relievers.
Nelson has thrown side sessions, but because of the soreness in his right shoulder has not been cleared to pitch in any Cactus League games.
"I just know that he's still struggling with his arm and they [Royals medical personnel] are trying to come up with some kind of program right now," Royals manager Buddy Bell said Thursday morning. "That's unfortunate too because he was a candidate for the bullpen right now and just because he's had no workload he's probably more than likely not going to start the season with us."
