Dozier (oblique) was reinstated from the disabled list and optioned to Triple-A Omaha on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Dozier is ready to return from his rehab assignment after appearing in five games with High-A Wilmington and Triple-A Omaha; he went 5-for-16 (.313) with eight strikeouts. Without a clear path to everyday at-bats with the Royals, Dozier will stick with Omaha for the time being, though he should remain a top option in the minors should an opportunity arise with the big club.
