Staumont was lit up over five innings for Triple-A Omaha, allowing seven runs on a season-high eight hits while walking three and striking out seven Tuesday.
According to Tony Boone of the Omaha World-Herald, Storm Chasers manager Brian Polberg has some concerns regarding Staumont. "To me, after all the walks he had in the previous ones, he's not (got) the same quality stuff," Polberg said. "He's been very tentative for me the last three outings." The Royals' top prospect has been disappointing in his first run at Triple-A, owning a 4.63 ERA with a career-high 1.4 HR/9 through 11 starts.
