Royals place Flynn on DL, recall Skoglund from Omaha
The Royals' beleaguered pitching staff took another hit Tuesday when left-handed reliever Brian Flynn was placed on the 10-day disabled list. Eric Skoglund was recalled from Triple-A Omaha.
The two players had swapped places in the other direction Monday. Skoglund was coming off a rough start Sunday and Flynn was brought in to shore up the bullpen while regular starters' spots in the rotation were coming up.
Flynn, however, had to leave Monday night's 12-0 loss to the Rays early with a left groin strain. In his first appearance with the Royals in 2017 he pitched 2 1/3 innings, allowing one run on three hits.
Skoglund started Sunday afternoon's 12-0 loss to the Indians but was knocked out after allowing seven runs in 1 1/3 innings. The left-hander is 1-2 with a 10.64 ERA in four starts with the Royals this season.
