Royals' Andrew Edwards: Clears waivers, outrighted to Double-A
Edwards cleared waivers and was assigned outright to Double-A Northwest Arkansas on Saturday.
Added to the 40-man last November for Rule 5 protection, Edwards failed to justify the move, posting a 7.92 ERA and 1.92 WHIP across three minor-league levels to open the 2017 campaign. He has shown an ability to miss bats at a good clip, but the walks have become a glaring issue as he's advanced up the ladder.

Royals' Andrew Edwards: Moves up to Double-A
Edwards was promoted to Double-A Northwest Arkansas on Friday, MLB.com's Jeffrey Flanagan reports.
Edwards was recently reinstated from MiLB's disabled list after an undisclosed injury sidelined him just one game into the campaign. He made three appearances for High-A Wilmington, allowing one run over 5.2 relief innings since returning. Edwards is expected to move up to Triple-A Omaha (where he began the season) once the right-hander stacks some innings. The 25-year-old is a candidate to make his MLB debut out of the Royals bullpen later in 2017.
