EDGE Analysis

DFA'd earlier in the week, Pino will land at Triple-A, and it's unlikely he'll rejoin the Royals in 2015.

Pino was designated for assignment on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

He hasn't pitched with the Royals since June. Pino appeared in seven games with Kansas City, totaling a 3.26 ERA and 1.34 WHIP in 19.1 innings.

Pino was optioned to Triple-A Omaha on Saturday, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports. Pino had a one-start stint in his most recent call-up to the Royals.

Pino was lit up for six runs on 11 hits and a walk in 5.1 innings Friday against the Red Sox. The 31-year-old was called up from Triple-A Omaha earlier in the day to make his first major league start in over a month and was tagged for five runs in the second inning, although he managed to settle down afterward. Pino could remain in the rotation for as long as Yordano Ventura is sidelined, but Friday's performance could have the team looking at other options.

Pino will come up from Triple-A Omaha to start Friday's game in place of Yordano Ventura (hand), who hit the DL on Thursday, Andy McCullough of the Kansas City Star reports. Pino has appeared in six games for the Royals this season, allowing just one earned run on 12 hits in 14.0 innings. He's struggled a bit at Triple-A, posting a 4.93 ERA with a a 1.383 WHIP and 7.3 K/9 in 38.1 innings.

Pino was optioned to Triple-A Omaha on Friday. Pino has excelled in a long-relief role this season, but he'll be replaced by Aaron Brooks in the bullpen, after throwing 63 pitches in Monday's loss to the Rangers.

Pino was recalled from Triple-A Omaha on Friday. Pino will replace Jason Vargas (flexor strain) on the active roster, though it seems Chris Young is the favorite to start in place of Vargas on Sunday. The right-handed Pino was highly successful in a long-relief role during his first stint with the big club this season, tossing 10.2 scoreless frames with just seven hits allowed and a 8:0 K:BB.

Pino was optioned to Triple-A on Thursday, MLB.com's Jeffrey Flanagan reports. Greg Holland is getting activated from the disabled list so the Royals needed to send down a reliever. Pino did a fine job during his brief stay with Kansas City and he will continue to offer organizational bullpen depth.

Pino was recalled from Triple-A Omaha on Saturday. The move corresponds with closer Greg Holland getting placed on the 15-day DL, so Pino could have an extended stay with the big league club. The 31-year-old righty had been a career minor leaguer until making 11 starts with the Twins last season. His first appearance at Omaha was out of the bullpen, so the Royals clearly think he profiles better as a reliever. Even without Holland, the Royals have plenty of high-leverage caliber arms, so Pino will likely be used in the middle innings.
