The Kansas City Royals place Kanekoa Texeira on the D.L.
The Royals have placed 24-year old righty reliever Kanekoa Texeira on the 15-day disabled list with a right elbow strain. Texeira has pitched in 27 games (0 starts) for the Royals this year and he is 1-0 with a 4.64 ERA and a 1.55 WHIP. He has pitched in 43 games (0 starts) overall this season with the Mariners & Royals and he is 1-1 with a 4.84 ERA and a 1.60 WHIP. Claiming Texeira off waivers was a good move for the Royals as he might have a decent future out of the pen for them.
