Moronta was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moronta has given up two runs with a 7:3 K:BB over eight innings since having his contract selected in late April, but he'll head to Triple-A in favor of a fresh arm after tossing two frames Saturday. The 29-year-old is a strong bet to rejoin the big-league club later in the year as part of the bullpen shuffle.
