I did some research and tried to answer my own question, sounds like they are really optimistic that he will be back at some point to get some AB's in KC. He's worked out and done some BP recently with no issues. He still has a week to get completely up to speed but I think some action in KC would go a long ways instead of being thrown right into the fire in the Bronx.
Found this on twitter and thought others would appreciate it.
He may get a few at-bats in KC, but should absolutely be back for the post-season. Sure wish we had the Rosario-Buxton-Kepler outfield, but whatever.
Here you go.LaMarre made a great catch last night.Have you heard who's starting for the Twins?
Miller LF
Arraez 2B
La Tortuga 3B
Cave RF
Schoop DH
Castro C
LaMarre CF
Wade 1B
Torreyes SS

Give me the Yankees all day. I'll pass on facing Verlander and Cole. Astros are the better team, better home team, and are the hotter team right now.
Twins road record and run diff. is very similar to the Yanks at home. Should be a good matchup.
I'm torn. I'd love nothing more than to knock the Yankees out and get that monkey off our backs, but I wouldn't be upset seeing someone else possibly take them out before we face them either.
The Twins road record is pretty unbelievable. They have 7 more road wins than Detroit has total wins.
One troubling stat for me going into either match-up:
Records versus teams that are > .500
Yankees : 43-32 .573
Astros : 35-28 .555
Twins : 32-37 .463
I realize playing in the Central limits our opportunities for familiarity with good teams, but they have better records against better teams for a reason.
Oh well, stats don't play games. Throw 'em all out and beat whoever we face.

Honestly just have to jump on them game 1 and see where the cards fall. I'd sign up right now for a split in NY.
Odo is going to shut them out, and Kepler will return just in time to knock in the winning runs with a 2-bagger in the 8th inning. You heard it here first.
