Claimed by Kansas City Sanabria was claimed off waivers by the Royals on Friday.

Impact Sanabria jumped up from Double-A to the majors this season, allowing two runs in two innings in his first two appearances at the highest level. He likely still needs some development time, though he recorded a strong 30.2 percent strikeout rate and a 3.11 ERA in 55 innings of relief for Double-A Corpus Christi in 2019, hinting at his potential.

Optioned to alternate camp Sanabria was optioned to the Astros' alternate training site Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Sanabria made two relief appearances after joining the major-league roster, allowing two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out two over two innings. He'll continue developing at the alternate training site, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him return to the majors given his effective performance in the minor leagues. Southpaw Brooks Raley was activated in a corresponding move.
