Outrighted to Triple-A Speier cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Omaha on Wednesday.

Impact Speier was designated for assignment by the Royals on Friday, and he'll remain in the organization after going unclaimed on waivers. The southpaw has made 17 relief appearances over the last two seasons, posting a 7.62 ERA and 1.85 WHIP over 13 innings.

Protected from Rule 5 draft Tillo (elbow) was added to the 40-man roster Friday, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

Impact With Tillo likely to miss the entire 2021 season recovering from August 2020 Tommy John surgery, he will be easy to stash on the 60-day injured list now that he is on the 40-man roster. The Royals think the left-handed Tillo could be electric in a bullpen role as early as 2022.

Outrighted to Triple-A Adams was outrighted to Triple-A Omaha on Friday.

Impact Adams made six relief appearances during his first season with the Royals in 2020, but he was inefficient once again, allowing nine earned runs on 15 hits and no walks while striking out six over 8.2 innings. He'll be cast off the 40-man roster to make room for several prospects who will be protected from the Rule 5 draft.

Protected from Rule 5 draft Rivero's contract was selected by the Royals on Friday.

Impact The Royals obviously like Rivero's defense at catcher, but he isn't very appealing in dynasty leagues. He hit .212/.270/.278 in 91 games at High-A in 2019 and should open the year at Double-A.

Cast off 40-man roster Speier was designated for assignment by the Royals on Friday.

Impact Speier made the Royals' Opening Day roster in 2020, but he gave up five runs on nine hits and four walks while striking out six over 5.2 innings. He was optioned to the alternate training site in August and didn't return to the big leagues. His removal from the 40-man roster will make room for several prospects who will now be protected from the Rule 5 draft.

Added to 40-man roster Lee's contract was selected by the Royals on Friday.

Impact In a system flush with pitching prospects, Lee is one of the better hitting prospects with any upper-level experience, so he was always going to get protected from the Rule 5 draft. He has the power and speed to be a fantasy asset some day, but he needs to increase his launch angle and improve his approach.

Designated for assignment Sparkman (forearm) was designated for assignment by the Royals on Friday.

Impact Sparkman missed most of the 2020 season with a forearm strain, and he'll now be cast off the 40-man roster to make room for several prospects who will now be protected from the Rule 5 draft. The right-hander struggled to generate much production once again last year, allowing three runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out two over five relief innings.
