The Royals recalled Hoffmann from Triple-A Omaha on Friday.
Hoffmann made his MLB debut earlier this season, allowing two runs in two innings of relief May 30. He'll take the spot of Michael Lorenzen (oblique) on the 26-man roster, although Hoffmann will work out of the bullpen rather than plugging the hole in the rotation. Hoffmann boasts a 2.31 ERA and 55:10 K:BB in 39 innings with Omaha.

Royals' Andrew Hoffmann: Serving as 27th man for twin bill
Rotowire
The Royals optioned Hoffmann to Triple-A Omaha and then added him as the 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader versus the Cardinals.
Hoffmann will stick around with the Royals for the twin bill, but he was optioned for the purpose of opening a spot on the 26-man active roster for righty Thomas Hatch, who was called up from Triple-A. Since receiving his first MLB promotion last Wednesday, Hoffmann has made just one appearance out of the Kansas City bullpen, giving up two earned runs while striking out four batters over two innings.
