(kcroyals.com) The Kansas City Royals Wednesday made a flurry of moves ahead of the deadline to protect several players who would be exposed to next month’s Rule 5 Draft.
The Royals selected the contracts of left-hander Foster Griffin, right-hander Carlos Hernandez, outfielder Nick Heath and shortstop Jeison Guzman, thus adding them to the 40-man roster.
To make room, the Royals designated for assignment four players, including Outfielder Jorge Bonifacio, catcher Nick Dini.
The Royals have 7 days to trade the players, release the player or place them on waivers.
