Tropicana Field, St. Petersburg, FL

Carlos Hernández - Back in big leaguesHernandez was recalled by the Royals on Friday.

ImpactHernandez was with the team for the first two weeks of the season but didn't see the field often, allowing four runs in 3.1 innings across three relief appearances. He'll likely fill a low-leverage role again this time around. Josh Staumont (knee) landed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

Josh Staumont - Out with knee sprainStaumont landed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a sprained left knee.

ImpactThe transaction was backdated to Thursday, so Staumont will be eligible to return June 6, though it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to do so. He's been the Royals primary ninth-inning option this season, recording five of the team's 12 saves. Greg Holland and Kyle Zimmer are tied for second with two apiece and could be the primary beneficiaries of Staumont's absence.

Ryan O'Hearn - Sent to Triple-AO'Hearn was optioned to Triple-A Omaha on Friday.

ImpactO'Hearn had been on the active roster for over a month but didn't do much with his playing time. In 57 plate appearances, he hit just .189/.246/.377 while striking out 35.1 percent of the time. Hunter Dozier (concussion) returned from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Hunter Dozier - Back in actionDozier (concussion) was activated from the injured list Friday and will bat eighth and play right field against the Twins.

ImpactDozier missed two weeks after colliding with Jose Abreu along the first-base line in mid May. He was struggling significantly at the time of the injury, going hitless in his last eight games to lower his OPS to .541, but it looks as though he's still considered a starter, at least for now. Ryan O'Hearn was optioned in a corresponding move.

MAY 28, 2021•ROTOWIRE

Nicky Lopez - Remains on benchLopez will sit for the second straight game Friday against the Twins.

ImpactLopez's .609 OPS this season actually represents the best mark of his three-year career, so it's no surprise to see him lose playing time. Adalberto Mondesi's return from an oblique injury Tuesday dealt the first blow to Lopez's starting chances, while Hunter Dozier's return from a concussion Friday could send him to the bench on a regular basis. Dozier starts in right field Friday, keeping Whit Merrifield at second base and Lopez on the bench.
