Junis was officially recalled by the Royals on Tuesday, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Seth Maness was optioned down to make room on the roster for Junis, who will make his second career start and fourth career appearance in the majors Tuesday against the Astros. The right-hander has been excellent at Triple-A Omaha this year, posting a 2.34 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 57:8 K:BB over 42.1 innings, and it looks like he will get an extended look with Danny Duffy (oblique) out six-to-eight weeks.
