Royals' Chris Withrow: Reassigned to minor league camp
Chris Withrow was reassigned to the Kansas City Royals' minor league camp Monday, MLB.com's Jeffrey Flanagan reports.Withrow has showed some promise in the past during his time with the Dodgers earlier in his career, but he was let go by the Braves in the offseason after wayward command limited his effectiveness in 2016. He was forced to settle for a minor-league deal with the Royals, and was unable to overcome a rough spring training in his bid for a roster spot. He'll slot in as organizational bullpen depth for the Royals, presumably at Triple-A Omaha.
