Royals activate Jake Brentz, send him to Double-A
Royals activated LHP Jake Brentz from the 15-day injured list and optioned him to Double-A Northwest Arkansas.
Advice: Brentz returned from Tommy John surgery at the end of last year, only to go down with a hamstring injury this spring that cost him six weeks. He had been struggling mightily on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Omaha, giving up nine runs and walking 17 in six innings, so he’ll head to Double-A for now. The 29-year-old looked like a promising lefty reliever in 2021, but at this point, he might be the next player bumped from the 40-man if the Royals need to add someone.
