LHP Brian Duensing confirmed he’ll exercise opt-out clause in his minor-league deal. Royals have window to add him to 40-man or let him go.

The Kansas City Royals now have 48 hours to add Duensing to the roster or release him under the terms of his contract.
The opt-out move makes sense for Alex Gordon‘s former college roommate at University of Nebraska. The 33-year-old Duensing has pitched well this spring at Surprise, Arizona, compiling a 2.61 ERA in 10.1 innings pitched with 10 strikeouts.
