Almonte (shoulder) was recalled from Triple-A and placed on the 60-day disabled list with a right rotator cuff strain.
While Almonte will be eligible to return in late September, a return seems unlikely given the nature of the injury. One of the top pitching prospects in the Royals' system, Almonte started this season at Double-A Northwest Arkansas and worked his way to the big leagues, pitching an inning of work out of the bullpen on two different occasions for the Royals.
