Kansas City Royals — Greg Holland was placed on the injured list Friday for undisclosed reasons. The Royals, who lead the AL Central with 10 wins, have already had five pitchers get saves, with Holland leading with two. There’s no clear candidate to take over, but we like Josh Staumont, who has a 1.00 ERA in seven appearances. Other options are Kyle Zimmer, Scott Barlow, and old friend Wade Davis.
Hierarchy remains: *Staumont | Zimmer | Barlow.
