Royals' Alec Marsh: Officially promoted

The Royals recalled Marsh ahead of his start Friday against the Dodgers.

Friday will mark the 25-year-old righty's MLB debut after he put up a 2.40 ERA and 1.33 WHIP through 15 innings with Triple-A Omaha. Marsh will be filling in for Jordan Lyles, who was scratched from his scheduled start due to illness, and will most likely return to the minors after his spot start. James McArthur was optioned to Omaha in a corresponding move.
