The Kansas City Royals announced several roster moves Wednesday, including the placement of outfielder Bubba Starling and pitcher Glenn Sparkman on the injured list.
Sparkman is dealing with a right forearm strain. Starling’s ailment was not specified.
Those two roster spots were filled by catcher Meibrys Viloria and pitcher Scott Blewett, who were recalled from the club’s alternate training site.
The team also announced that catcher Óscar Hernández cleared outright waivers and was assigned outright to the alternate site.
