Falu, 29, will likely be one of the first call-ups if the Royals are in need of an extra infielder, but he's nothing more. He hit .341/.371/.435 in 85 at-bats for the Royals in 2012.
Falu appeared in 15 games with the Royals as a utility infielder but is no longer needed with Chris Getz returning from the disabled list. He'll resume an organizational depth role in the minors.
IrvingFalu went 3-for-5 with a double and four RBI in Sunday's loss to the Twins.
The utility infielder was making just his second start since being recalled from Triple-A Omaha on May 20. He doubled home two runs in the sixth before singling home two runs in the ninth. Falu doesn't play enough to be worth a look in even the deepest of NL-only leagues.
Royals recalled INF IrvingFalu from Triple-A Omaha.
The Royals optioned right-hander Louis Coleman to Triple-A Omaha in a corresponding roster move. Falu is hitting .326 (14-for-43) in 12 games at the major league level this year. He'll back up Yuniesky Betancourt at second base while Chris Getz (leg) is on the disabled list.
Royals purchased the contract of INF IrvingFalu from Triple-A Omaha.
Falu was batting .306/.346/.403 with six stolen bases through 21 games this season at the Triple-A level. The 28-year-old infielder has never appeared in the majors and is doubtful to hold any sort of fantasy value.
