Kansas City Royals: Jason Adam optioned, Jake Newberry called up

Jason Adam is in his rookie season with the Kansas City Royals. He started off hot, but his outing against the Chicago White Sox where he allowed five earned runs in just one third of an inning was reason enough to send him down to the minor leagues to find his groove again.

Adam posted an ERA of 2.79 in the month of May. Since, he has fallen apart. He now has an ERA of 6.12 through 32.1 innings of work. Adam is 27. In his four appearances prior to his meltdown against the White Sox, he actually held opponents scoreless.
