Outfielder Billy Burns and reliever Neftalí Feliz will be in uniform for the Royals when they open a four-game series with the Detroit Tigers at Kauffman Stadium on Monday night.
Outfielder Jorge Soler and reliever Miguel Almonte won’t be.
The Royals reinstated Feliz from the paternity list and recalled Burns from Triple-A Omaha. They fill the roster spots of Soler and Almonte, who were optioned to Omaha.
Burns gives the Royals speed off the bench, where Soler was spending considerable time. Soler will get more playing time at Omaha. Almonte was filling a spot in the Kansas City bullpen during Feliz’s brief absence (since Friday).
