He also carried a 5.52 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 49:16 K:BB through 29.1 innings with Triple-A Omaha.

Impact Kriske pitched two hitless innings Friday against the Dodgers, but he will return to Omaha after making four appearances in his latest MLB stint. Kriske holds a 4.05 ERA and 1.05 WHIP through 6.2 frames with Kansas City and could return to the majors if the Royals' bullpen depth gets tested later this year. Collin Snider was recalled from Omaha in a corresponding move.

Contract selected from Iowa Kansas City selected Kriske's contract from Triple-A Omaha on Sunday.

Impact Kriske takes the 40- and 26-man active roster spot of Mike Mayers after Mayers was designated for assignment by Kansas City on Sunday. Signed to a minor-league contract by the Royals over the winter, Kriske has made 25 appearances with Iowa, and he's forged a 6.00 ERA in 27 innings of work with a much more appetizing 47 strikeouts over those frames. He'll be a middle innings option while he's on the roster.
