Royals' Jeison Guzman: Rejoining Kansas City

Guzman signed a minor-league deal with the Royals on Wednesday, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

The 22-year-old was non-tendered by the Royals in early December to create space on the 40-man roster, but he'll rejoin the club on a MiLB deal. Guzman was in the majors for a few days during 2020, but he didn't see game action and spent most of the season at the alternate training site. He was at Low-A Lexington in 2019 and had a .253/.296/.373 slash line with seven homers and 15 stolen bases in 121 games.
