Royals' Nick Pratto: Sent down to Triple-A

The Royals optioned Pratto to Triple-A Omaha on Wednesday.

Pratto was a solid contributor in Cactus League play before his demotion, producing a .313/.378/.438 slash over 37 plate appearances. The 24-year-old will get regular playing time at Omaha, and a strong start to his campaign in the minors could earn him a promotion over the summer, if not sooner.
