Royals recall Pounders from Omaha, place Davis on DL, designate Tyler Olson for assignment

The Kansas City Royals on Tuesday placed RHP Wade Davis on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to July 1 with a right forearm strain.

RHP Brooks Pounders was selefted from Triple-A Omaha in a corresponding move.

To make room for Pounders on the 40-man roster, the Royals designated LHP Tyler Olson for assignment.

Pounders, 25, will be in uniform (#62) for tonight's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. He is 4-1 with a 2.80 ERA, while recording 78 strikeouts in 64.1 innings with the Storm Chasers. The 6-foot-5 right-hander was selected to the Pacific Coast League All-Star team last week.
