Royals activated RHP Felipe Paulino from the 60-day disabled list. Paulino appeared headed for a breakthrough after posting a 1.67 ERA and 39/15 K/BB ratio in 37 2/3 innings over his first seven starts this season, but he landed on the disabled list with a groin injury in early June and later required Tommy John surgery on his right elbow. He'll likely be sidelined until around the All-Star break next year.
