Infante is considering surgery to remove a bone spur from his right elbow after this season, MLB.com reports. Pain and inflammation caused by the bone spur has affected Infante's abilities on the field for two-plus years, but the Royals opted against surgery earlier in the offseason and it sounds like Infante plans to tough it out again this year. "I'm thinking about it after this season -- right after this season," Infante said. "I want it to get better." Infante, who is entering the second season of a four-year, $30.25 million deal, was recently treated with a cortisone shot and could resume throwing activities Saturday. He has served as the Royals' designated hitter in spring action the past two days.
