The Royals announced they have added right-handed reliever Taylor Clarke to the roster and have optioned Noah Cameron back to Triple-A Omaha. To make room on the 40-man roster for Clarke, the team transferred pitcher James McArthur to the 60-day Injured List.
Clarke pitched for the Royals from 2022-23, appearing in 105 games with a 5.08 ERA. He was effective in 2022 with a 4.04 ERA in 47 appearances, and was off to a good start in 2023 with a 2.70 ERA over his first 27 starts, but was pounded after that, giving up 32 runs over his final 29 innings.
