The Kansas City Royals have claimed RHP Carlos Sanabria off Outright Waivers from the Houston Astros, one of several roster moves announced by the team today. The Club has sent RHP Kevin McCarthy and LHP Mike Montgomery outright to Triple-A, and both have elected free agency in lieu of their assignments. The Royals have also reinstated LHP Foster Griffin, RHP Glenn Sparkman and RHP Kyle Zimmer from the 60-day Injured List.
Sanabria, 23, made his Major League debut with Houston on Aug. 5 of this year, and pitched in two games, which included a scoreless inning on Aug.
