Guthrie was announced as the Royals' fifth starter Wednesday, the Kansas City Star reports. Guthrie had been pushed a bit by Chris Young during camp, but it looks like manager Ned Yost will continue to roll with his veteran to close out the rotation. Guthrie will be 36 in early-April, and considering that he hasn't posted a K/9 rate higher than 6.0 since 2007, he isn't an attractive fantasy option outside of deeper AL-only formats.
