The Royals optioned Cerantola to Triple-A Omaha on Monday.
Cerantola joined the Royals' 40-man roster over the winter and has tossed two scoreless frames during Cactus League play, but he never really had a shot to break camp with the big club. The righty reliever will likely debut at some point in 2025 and could eventually be a late-inning option for Kansas City if he can throw enough strikes.

The Royals selected Cerantola from Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.
Cerantola started 2024 in Double-A Northwest Arkansas, where he held a 2.93 ERA across 24 games (seven starts). He worked exclusively as a reliever at Omaha, posting a 3.77 ERA and 1.49 WHIP across 14.1 innings over 13 appearances. The 24-year old is now protected from the Rule 5 Draft in December.
