Sweeney spent the week taking live batting practice and experienced no pain. The past two nights, he played in two rehab starts for one of the Royals minor league teams and experienced no setbacks. (Couple of hits and a home run) And this series being as big as it is, I imagine he doesn't want to wait any longer.

FYI, Sweeney is expected to be back in the lineup tomorrow night.
