CHICAGO -- The Kansas City Royals want to wait a week before deciding whether to shut down Lorenzo Cain. The outfielder may or may not agree.The Royals 6-5 comeback victory over the Chicago White Sox on Saturday night was overshadowed by the unknown future of their former All-Star.Whit Merrifield hit a go-ahead two-run double in a three-run seventh inning and closer Wade Davis barely made it hold up in the ninth. The 2015 World Series champions remained four games back of Baltimore for the second AL wild card.But being without Cain could dampen those postseason hopes.Cain returned Friday from a sprained wrist, but was basically swinging one-handed. He was back sidelined Saturday, and while manager Ned Yost said before the game Cain will likely have to play through pain, Cain told Fox Sports Kansas City that it was highly likely he was finished for the season.After the game, a team spokesman said Cain had received a stem cell shot that didnt work and they wanted to wait a week to see if his wrist gets better.At his locker after the game, the spokesman repeated that news to Cain before he addressed reporters.Cain said nothing for a few seconds before declining to answer whether he thought he would return.Ive go to talk to some more people because we talked about something earlier, Cain said. Ill have to get back to you.Davis gave up a single to Tyler Saladino and a double to Adam Eaton to lead off the ninth before Melky Cabreras infield single cut the deficit to one.With the tying run on third and one out, Davis struck out Jose Abreu and Justin Morneau for his 23rd save.He got himself into a little bit of trouble, but that what he does best, Yost said. He just buckles down when he needs to and got big outs.Eric Hosmer hit a two-run homer in the first and Alex Gordon a solo shot in the fourth off White Sox starter James Shields. The struggling righty exited after six innings leading 4-3 before the Chicagos bullpen faltered.Chris Beck (2-2) was charged with three runs while giving up two hits and a walk and getting one out.Davis was the last of five relievers after Edinson Volquez, who allowed four runs and nine hits over five innings.Kevin McCarthy (1-0) got the last out of the sixth for his first major league win.I still havent wrapped my head around the whole being up here yet, McCarthy said. My head is still spinning.Shields, who helped the Royals reach the 2014 World Series, allowed three runs and four hits. He avoided his 18th loss despite moving into the major league lead with 37 home runs allowed.I gave up two homers, but the other two hits were kind of just really weak hits, Shields said.Morneau doubled twice and drove in a run in a two-run fifth as the White Sox went ahead 4-3.Abreu drove in his 90th run and Saladino went 3 for 4 to leave him 9 for 12 in the past three games.Volquez allowed the leadoff batter to reach in all five innings, but the Royals overcame Chicagos 12 hits for their fourth win in 10 games.TRAINERS ROOMRoyals: C Salvador Perez (wrist) returned after a two-game absence and went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts.White Sox: Manager Robin Ventura said its unlikely 2B Brett Lawrie, who last played July 21, returns this season. Lawrie remains in Arizona dealing with nagging knee pain after originally being sidelined with a hamstring injury. Its become a long shot at this point just because hes been out so long, Ventura said.MERRIFIELDS YEARMerrifield, a 27-year-old rookie forced into duty thanks to Kansas Citys numerous injuries, has driven in 21 runs in 60 games.It was big, Merrifield said. Happy I came through right there.MORNEAUS FUTUREMorneau, signed in June to a one-year deal, will decide after the season whether to try to play in 2016. Hes 35.Oh, hes got something left, Ventura said. He can play next year if he wants to.UP NEXTWhite Sox ace Chris Sale (15-7, 3.07 ERA) faces RHP Ian Kennedy (10-9, 3.76) in the series finale Sunday.

NEW YORK -- An underwhelming 42-40 non-playoff season led to a summer of drastic changes for the Chicago Bulls.Nine new players were added, highlighted by the additions of guards Rajon Rondo and Dwyane Wade. Naturally, questions about cohesion were a theme of preseason.Two games into the regular season, things are going well and the Bulls look to remain unbeaten Monday night when they visit the Brooklyn Nets.Weve been practicing about 30 days straight, Rondo said. The chemistry is coming along (but) its early.Last season, the Bulls also won their first two games and began with a 22-12 record but wound up going 20-28 the rest of the way, prompting the trade of Derrick Rose to the New York Knicks and allowing Joakim Noah to sign with New York in free agency.Those departures left Jimmy Butler as the main option and then came the signings of Rondo and Wade.Butler has 40 points in his first two games, Rondo has 22 assists and Wade has 36 points. Those three players might have more points and assists, but during Saturdays 118-101 win over Indiana, they saw some rest as Doug McDermott scored 23 points on 9-of-14 shooting while the Bulls collected 34 assists and shot 52 percent.Its good to see this early in the season, Wade said. We have the format to how we need to play. It is about making sure we get to that (style of) game more times than not throughout the year.The Bulls will try to maintain their style (111.5 points per game, 118.4 offensive rating) against a team with low expectations but plenty of competiveness in their first three games.In the first three games, the Nets have nearly rallied from a 23-point deficit at Boston, held Indiana to 15 fourth-quarter points in a nine-point win and nearly came back at Milwaukee on Saturday before losing 110-108 on a John Henson tip-in at the buzzer.I told our guys to keep with it, stay with it, Brooklyn coach Kenny Atkinson said. Im proud of our resiliency. I wish we would have shot a little bit better. Turnovers hurt us. We had a lot of open looks, and at the end we had a chancce to win the game.ddddddddddddojan Bogdanovic scored 26 points and hit a 3-pointer with 11.6 seconds remaining before Henson won it. Bogdanovics 3-pointer was one of 11 in 35 attempts Brooklyn had Saturday.The Nets have increased their reliance on 3-pointers by going 36 of 112 (32.1 percent). It is the second time in franchise history that Brooklyn has attempted at least 30 3-pointers in three straight games.Brook Lopez has been part of the increased emphasis on 3-pointers, as he is 1-of-6 this season and 4-of-37 for his career. Lopez was rested Saturday but he is expected to play Monday.I think were just building him up, Atkinson said of resting Lopez. We have a plan to increase his minutes, increase his playing time as the season goes on. I think its a smart way to look at it. Were thinking long-term, big picture. Soon enough hell be at his normal minutes.Lopezs return from not making the trip to Milwaukee will coincide with another meeting against twin brother Robin Lopez. It is the 14th meeting between the siblings and this is the fifth opposing team Robin has been with after spending time with Phoenix, New Orleans, Portland and New York.Robin Lopezs teams have won seven meetings against his twin. Robin has averaged 9.8 points while Brook Lopez has averaged 21 points.The Nets have lost three straight home meetings with the Bulls. Chicago also has won 13 of the last 18 regular-season meetings, including a 115-100 victory on Oct. 28, 2015, in Brooklyn.Monday will mark Wades 39th regular-season meeting against the Nets. In his first 38 with the Miami Heat, the 12-time All-Star won 28 of those games.Wade has scored at least 30 points eight times against the Nets, including March 28 in Miami when he had 30 on 14-of-19 shooting. He also had 27 games with at least 20 points against the Nets, including both visits to Brooklyn last season when he totaled 55 points on 24 of 39 from the floor. ' ' '
