Minor will split the ninth-inning duties with Brandon Maurer and Scott Alexander moving forward, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Minor hasn't had any opportunities to be the ninth-inning man for the Royals up to this point in the season, but with manager Ned Yost's removal of Kelvin Herrera from the role, it appears as though the 29-year-old will get a chance to shine in the near future. During the course of the season, Minor has accumulated a 2.82 ERA and 1.01 WHIP to go along with a 76:18 K:BB over 67 innings. It remains to be seen how the Royals will handle this situation, but Minor should warrant a few opportunities in the immediate future.
