The Royals have promoted shortstop Raul Mondesi to AAA Omaha, according to Naturals beat writer Paul Boyd. Mondesi is the consensus top prospect in the Royals' farm system. He was hitting .267/.338/.457 in 29 games for the AA Northwest Arkansas Naturals with 5 HR 17 RBI. Mondesi was activated on Monday from a 50 game suspension for Clenbuterol, a banned substance. He was 5-for-12 with six stolen bases since returning.
Mondesi had played 81 games in AA Northwest Arkansas last year, where he hit .243/.279/.372. He made his Major League debut as a pinch-hitter in the 2015 World Series against the Mets.
