Royals' Carlos Sanabria: Claimed by Kansas City

Sanabria was claimed off waivers by the Royals on Friday.

Sanabria jumped up from Double-A to the majors this season, allowing two runs in two innings in his first two appearances at the highest level. He likely still needs some development time, though he recorded a strong 30.2 percent strikeout rate and a 3.11 ERA in 55 innings of relief for Double-A Corpus Christi in 2019, hinting at his potential.
