Royals' Jonathan Bowlan: Back in Omaha

The Royals optioned Bowlan to Triple-A Omaha on Saturday.

Bowlan will depart Kansas City's bullpen to help make room for new additions Ryan Bergert and Bailey Falter on the active roster. Bowlan owns a 4.73 ERA and 1.35 WHIP through 26.2 innings in the majors, though he may return to the Royals down the stretch if the big club needs a fresh arm.
