Luinder Avila News: Returned to Omaha

The Royals optioned Avila to Triple-A Omaha on Saturday.

The 23-year-old's first MLB stint will come to an end after five days, as he cedes his spot on the active roster to Michael Lorenzen (oblique), who's coming off the injured list to start Saturday's game. Avila made his MLB debut Wednesday, throwing a scoreless inning against Washington.
