Transactions & Injuries

The Royals receive Rule 5 draft pick Juan Medina back from Brewers to add some additional infield depth although Medina struggled in the big leagues this year, with a .172 average in 336 PA.

The Royals had been looking at additional RHP rotation support in case of injury and to counter the Astros juggernaut as the end of the month approached. The trigger to commit to a trade was losing Mike Herzner for a few weeks to bicep tendinitis. The Royals moved quickly, giving up LHP David Aguilar who had been okay in the bullpen but nothing more, prospect Aguirre who’s greatest attribute was being a LH infielder, and 2038 Scouting Discovery SP Arturo Morales to the Cubs and getting HP Chris Kuehn in return. Kuehn has plus stuff, movement, and command, with a five pitch arsenal. The Royals also got the Cubs to tack on potential RP Chris Morrow into the deal. The hope is that the Royals now have options for whatever the playoffs throws at them.
