Royals Select Anthony Swarzak

By Anthony Franco | June 18, 2021 at 2:30pm CDT

The Royals announced they’ve selected the contract of reliever Anthony Swarzak. Righty Ronald Bolaños was transferred to the 60-day injured list to create 40-man roster space.

Swarzak, 35, pitched in six games earlier this year with the Diamondbacks. He allowed five runs over 4 2/3 innings, striking out four while walking just one. Arizona cut Swarzak loose at the end of April, and he latched on with the Royals not long thereafter on a minor league deal. He got off to a fantastic start with Triple-A Omaha, punching out 14 of 33 batters faced (42.4%) while not issuing a walk. He allowed three runs (two earned) in 9 1/3 frames as a Storm Chaser before earning his way back to the big leagues.

Bolaños went on the IL earlier this week with a forearm strain. It’s not yet clear if that’ll require surgical repair, but he’s now out until at least mid-August. The 24-year-old was off to a strong start to the year, striking out ten while issuing just a pair of walks over 6 1/3 relief innings.

    Just what the Royals need, playing another guy who will play no part in the future of the organization. Why not Gavin? Speier? Olivares needs MLB playing time, too. And with Benentendi on the IL, now is a great time to do that. I honestly have no clue what Dayton is doing right now.

    Please tell me who the other players besides Swarzek who aren’t part of the future are stealing playing time? He’s the 7th guy in the bullpen riding the I29 express. Settle down.

      Dyson, Soler, Davis, Holland, E Santana, Taylor. And no, he’s not riding the I29 express, He can’t be optioned. He’s here until he is no longer on the team at all.
