Royals' Josh Staumont: Moved off 40-man roster

Staumont (neck) was designated for assignment by the Royals on Tuesday.

Staumont looked like a promising young reliever at one point, but he holds an ugly 6.09 ERA over his last 57.2 big-league innings dating back to the beginning of 2022 and required surgery this past July for thoracic outlet syndrome.
