3 years agoKansas City Royals starting pitcher Kyle Zimmer was designated for assignment Friday as the team made room for seven players on the 40-man roster. The club added pitchers Jonathan Bowlan, Collin Snider, and Nathan Webb, catcher MJ Melendez, and infielders Maikel Garcia and Nick Pratto from their own system and claimed infielder Lucius Fox from the Orioles. Zimmer appeared in 52 games for the Royals in 2021, starting two games and recording a 4-1 record with two saves and a 4.83 ERA. Of the players added, Melendez and Pratto are the highest profile, as each is a top-five prospect in the system and both have the potential to make an impact at the major-league level in 2022. Neither needs to be drafted in redraft formats to start the upcoming season.--Doug Goldring - RotoBaller
