The Royals are playing musical relief pitchers. They optioned Leo Nunez to Omaha today and purchased the contract of Bobby Keppel from Omaha. Keppel was the New York Mets' first round draft choice in 2000. The Royals signed him in August 2005.
Keppel, 23, was 4-5 with a 5.00 ERA in Omaha in 54 innings of work over nine starts. He pitched for Norfolk in Triple-A in 2005 and was 2-1 with a 3.29 ERA in five starts.
