Jorge Bonifacio was recalled before Friday night’s game in Texas and made his Major League debut that night. Jorge is the younger brother of current Atlanta Brave Emilio Bonifacio, who played in 42 games with the Royals in 2013.

Jorge and Emilio are the third brother tandem to play for the Royals, joining George Brett and Ken Brett (who were teammates from 1980–81) and Tony Pena Jr. and Francisco Pena.
