Royals Place International Fireballer on Waivers, Announce Additional Roster Moves The Kansas City Royals are close to finalizing their Opening Day roster following a series of roster moves Sunday.
Nelson Velázquez - Outrighted to Triple-A Velazquez cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Omaha on Sunday.
Impact Velazquez posted a .595 OPS over 29 plate appearances during spring training, so Kansas City won't keep him on the 40-man roster. The 26-year-old clubbed 14 homers in just 40 games for the Royals in 2023 but delivered a .200/.274/.366 slash line in 64 regular-season contests last year.
