The Royals summoned bullpen depth from Class AAA Omaha on Wednesday, calling up left-handed pitcher Scott Alexander and right-hander Jake Junis.
The moves came one day after the club optioned struggling left-hander Matt Strahm back to Omaha. The team also optioned outfielder Terrance Gore to Class AA Northwest after a 2-0 loss to Oakland on Monday.
Alexander and Junis will both be uniform when the Royals resume a three-game series against the A’s at 7:15 p.m. on Wednesday.
Alexander, 27, posted a 3.32 ERA in 19 innings out of the bullpen last season.
