The Royals optioned Veneziano to Triple-A Omaha on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Veneziano's latest stint with Kansas City lasted just two days, with the left-hander appearing in relief both Saturday and Sunday against the Orioles and allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits and one walk. The Royals called up right-hander Tyler Duffey from Triple-A to replace Veneziano in the bullpen.

The Royals recalled Veneziano from Triple-A Omaha on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Veneziano was called up to be the Royals' 27th man during their doubleheader Wednesday, though he never appeared in a game before being returned to Omaha. He's posted a 4.15 ERA and 1.46 WHIP across 13 innings in the minors this year, and he'll presumably serve in a multi-inning relief role while in Kansas City. Jordan Lyles (personal) was placed on the inactive list in a corresponding move.

The Royals returned Veneziano to Triple-A Omaha following Wednesday's doubleheader with the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Veneziano wasn't needed out of the bullpen for either game of the twin bill and is still waiting to make his 2024 MLB debut. The 26-year-old lefty has made four appearances (two starts) for Omaha this season, logging a 3.27 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 8:4 K:BB in 11 innings.

The Royals optioned Veneziano to Triple-A Omaha on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Veneziano threw 2.1 scoreless frames in the majors at the very end of last season but struggled to find his footing during spring training, surrendering seven earned runs in just 6.1 innings. The 26-year-old southpaw turned in a 4.22 ERA and 1.41 WHIP across 89.2 innings at Omaha last season, and he could return to the big leagues should Kansas City's pitching staff run into depth issues during the season.
