Junis was recalled from Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

He has been used as a starter at Triple-A, and the thinking is that he could offer some depth behind Tuesday's starter, Chris Young, who is unlikely to log a quality start. Junis replaces Scott Alexander, who was placed on the 10-day DL with a hamstring strain, in the Royals' bullpen. The 24-year-old righty has a 3.52 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 27:4 K:BB in 23 innings in the Pacific Coast League.
