Royals Call Up Avila, Shake Up Rotation

On April 3, Royals fans, Big Shake Up in Kansas City, they're calling up right-hander

Lewandar Avala from Triple A Omaha for his first major league start tonight against the brewers.

Michael Wack is out sick, so Avila steps in cold. To clear a roster spot,

they put lefty Bayley falter on the 15-day injured list with elbow inflammation.

Avila's a 24-year-old who debuted last year in relief, tossing 14 solid innings across

13 games. He impressed big-time too. Pitching for Venezuela's gold medal squad at the World

Baseball Classic, no earned runs in four-and-a-third innings. That performance turned heads.

The Royals held on to their extra arms last off-season instead of trading them for bets,

and now that depth is paying off. Guys like Ryan Berger and Ben Kudjerna stay sharpening up in Omaha.

Weekend plans hold steady with Seth Lugo on Saturday and Chris Buvek Sunday. Royals rolling deep,

keeping the momentum alive. That's your update from MLB News Today, powered by AI.
