Justin Grimm News
Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Justin Grimm is headed back to the disabled list for right shoulder impingement syndrome. Grimm was only back with the team for two weeks, and he failed to get an out in his last appearance. He's walked more than he's struck out this season, so it should be no great loss for the team. Pitcher Jason Adam was recalled from Triple-A to take over for Grimm.
The Kansas City Royals activated relief pitcher Justin Grimm(back) from the disabled list on Tuesday. Grimm had been placed on the DL for lower back tightness after an atrocious period for KC earlier in the year in which he posted a 21.86 ERA in 10 outings and allowed multiple earned runs in his last five straight appearances. Unfortunately, Grimm didn't look very good during his rehab either, as he carried an 8.68 ERA at Triple-A Omaha, but he was nearing the end of his allotted 30 days of rehab, so the activation was imminent. Trevor Oaks was optioned back to Omaha in a corresponding move.
Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Justin Grimm was having a pretty nice season early on, but then it all fell apart as he allowed 16 earned runs over the course of just 2 2/3 innings. Following the meltdowns, he was sent to the disabled list with back stiffness. Three weeks later, Grimm is on the verge of heading to Triple-A Omaha for a rehab assignment. Its unclear if Grimms struggles were actually injury related or if he was simply placed on the disabled list to give him time to clear his head, but he has potential to be a decent setup man for the Royals. If he can come back and pitch well, he could have value in Holds leagues.
