Royals pitcher Luke Hochevar pitched only four innings in his final spring training start after taking a comebacker off his left ankle on Friday.

The team announced that Hochevar has a bruised ankle.

"It's fine. I could have gone back out," said Hochevar. "We decided to stay on the safe side, come in and get some ice. ... No problems, no pain at all."
