The Kansas City Royals have made adjustments to their 40-man roster, placing first baseman Nick Pratto, outfielder Nelson Velazquez, and right-hander Carlos Hernandez on waivers. Hernandez was successfully claimed by the Philadelphia Phillies, while Pratto and Velazquez were outrighted to Triple-A after clearing waivers. Hernandez, who has experienced ups and downs throughout his career, had a promising spell as a swing pitcher but continued to struggle with ERA and walk rates. As a result, although he showed some improvement in a bullpen role, concerns about his performance led the Royals to make this decision.
