Nick Pratto back up, Edward Olivares to the IL

The Royals have recalled first baseman Nick Pratto and have placed outfielder Edward Olivares on the Injured List with a left quad strain. Pratto had been sent down after last weekend’s series in Toronto when the players on the restricted list were activated.

In his four games with the Royals last weekend, Pratto more than held his own, going 4-for-14 with a double and first MLB home run. He shows off impressive defense at first base, where many feel he is a plus defender. Pratto is in the starting lineup tonight.
