Promotion awaits The Royals are expected to recall Lovelady from Triple-A Omaha ahead of Tuesday's game in Boston, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Impact Lovelady is poised to rejoin the Royals for the first time since mid-April. He allowed just one run on five hits and four walks while striking out nine in 8.1 innings over his seven appearances after coming off Omaha's 7-day injured list in early June. The 25-year-old lefty will likely be ticketed for lower-leverage work out of the Kansas City bullpen.

Optioned to minors Lovelady was optioned to the Royals' alternate training site Tuesday.

Impact Lovelady hasn't shown much of note in his 21 major-league innings thus far, struggling to a 7.71 ERA. He could join the active roster when the Royals need another lefty in the bullpen, but he's unlikely find himself in a high-leverage role.
