Jarrod Dyson begins jogging
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com (5/28/2013) Royals outfielder Jarrod Dyson received medical clearance to begin jogging Tuesday, the Kansas City Star reports. Dyson is recovering from a high right ankle sprain.
"I still feel a little pain there," he said, "but it’s just a process I’ve got to go through. I went 90 feet four times. They were just trying to get a gauge if the pain stayed with me after I stopped. It’s going away when I stop."
Dyson does not have a timetable to return for the Royals.
"I don’t know anything yet," he said. "Maybe after (the club) comes back off the road (following a weekend series at Texas), I’ll know a lot more. I feel I’m going to be all right. I’ve made some pretty good progress and, hopefully, I’m back in the lineup within a couple of weeks."

The Royals have lost seven of eight games since Dyson injured himself May 15, and he is not expected to return to the field for another two or three weeks.
