Drew Waters - Doesn't make Opening Day rosterThe Royals optioned Waters to Triple-A Omaha on Friday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
ImpactWaters had a solid spring, but Kyle Isbel was better and Isbel already had the perceived leg up for the center field job. The switch-hitting Waters should still spend ample time in the majors this season but will go to Omaha for the time being.

Nick Pratto - Optioned to Triple-AThe Royals optioned Pratto to Triple-A Omaha on Friday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
ImpactIf decisions were made strictly on spring performance, Pratto would have made the club, as he slashed a robust .421/.476/.816 with four home runs. First base, the corner outfield spots and designated hitter are spoken for with the Royals, though, so he'll head back to Omaha where he'll play every day.
