Pino recalled as Medlen, Vargas near return

CHICAGO -- The Royals' pitching depth only becomes deeper as two pitchers are set to return from injury after the weekend.

Kansas City already made one bullpen move Sunday, recalling Yohan Pino while optioning Brandon Finnegan to Triple-A Omaha. Finnegan earned the win in Saturday's 13-inning victory over the White Sox, but he pitched two innings and threw 31 pitches.

Pino can go multiple innings after every reliever but one was used on Saturday, manager Ned Yost said. But Pino may not be up very long, as Kris Medlen could come off the disabled list on Monday.
