The Royals recalled left-handed relief pitcher Tim Hill from Triple-A Omaha prior to Monday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays in St. Petersburg, Fla.

The club optioned Glenn Sparkman to the minors on Sunday, but they didn’t make a corresponding roster move until Monday.

Hill began the season with the major-league club, but he struggled with command before being optioned to the minors on April 9.
