Royals' roster expansion excitement undercut by yet another major injury blow

Kansas City Royals fans started off Monday on a real high after news broke the night prior that two promising prospects in Carter Jensen and Luinder Avila, along with young phenom Jac Caglianone, would be joining the big league squad when rosters expanded.

Amid all that excitement of seeing some of the organization's top young talent reach the majors, there's only 28 spots available on big league rosters in September, meaning someone would have to have to be either on their way back down to Omaha or in a worst case scenario land on the injured list in order to facilitate the trio of additions.
