Royals' Josh Staumont: Headed to big leagues

Staumont will be recalled from Triple-A Omaha prior to Saturday's game against the Indians, Robert Murray of The Athletic reports.

Staumont has pitched well with the Naturals this season despite his usual control issues, posting a 3.16 ERA and 1.33 WHIP with a 74:37 K:BB over 51.1 innings. He figures to work out of the bullpen with the big-league club, though he's made 12 starts at Triple-A in 2019.
