TV -- FSN West 2. Radio -- 980, 1330.

Update -- Royal first baseman Mike Sweeney should return after sitting out five games because of a sore side. Sweeney is batting .357 against Weaver in 42 at-bats. In 2001, Sweeney charged the mound and body-slammed Weaver -- then with Detroit -- for calling him an obscene name.
