The Royals still have more than two weeks to discuss which players might join the club in September when rosters are allowed to expand beyond 25 men. But a familiar face is tracking for a return to the big leagues.
Paulo Orlando, who began the season as the team’s starting right fielder, is continuing a rehab assignment at Class AAA Omaha after hitting .341 in 12 games at Class AA Northwest Arkansas.
He transferred to Omaha on Saturday and collected one hit in his first two games. He can simply be optioned back to Omaha and continue playing for the Storm Chasers when his rehab stint comes to an end.
