Goins earned a spot on the Royals' Opening Day roster, Maria Torres of The Kansas City Star reports.
Goins inked a minor-league deal with an invitation to spring training back in late January, and did just enough to break camp with the club. He will serve as a reserve infielder behind Whit Merrifield and Alcides Escobar moving forward, but he may be in danger of getting removed from the roster once Adalberto Mondesi (shoulder) is healthy.
