Reliever Peter Moylan is positioned to take the final unoccupied spot in the Royals’ bullpen.
The club announced Monday that left-hander Scott Alexander was optioned to Class AAA Omaha, while relievers Yender Caramo, Eric Stout, Al Alburquerque and Eric Stout were re-assigned to minor-league camp.
The moves left Moylan, right-handed reliever Seth Maness and catcher Brayan Peña as the only non-roster invitees remaining in camp. Maness, a former reliever with the St. Louis Cardinals, is recovering from elbow surgery and will make his first spring appearance this week. He’s close to three weeks behind the rest of the staff, Royals manager Ned Yost said.
