Royals Recall Luinder Avila From Triple-A
The Kansas City Royals recalled right-hander Luinder Avila from Triple-A Omaha on Monday, placing Hunter Harvey (thigh) on the IL. The 23-year-old brings an upper-90s fastball, a sharp curveball, and a serviceable changeup. While he's worked as a starter in the minors, Avila is expected to slot into the bullpen for now. He posted a 27.0% strikeout rate at Omaha, and his solid command should help him adjust to major league hitters. Fantasy managers can monitor Avila for potential value, but without a clear path to high-leverage innings, he's not yet a priority add outside of deep AL-only formats.
