Maurer was recalled from Triple-A Omaha on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Maurer will head back to the big leagues after being designated for assignment in early May. But since then, the 27-year-old has been finding a groove on the rubber, posting 10 straight scoreless outings with a 10:4 K:BB across 11 innings of relief. Expect him to work out of low-leverage situations for the time being. In a corresponding move, the Royals optioned Jason Adam to the minors.
