Royals' Stephen Woods: Outrighted, remains with Royals
Woods was outrighted off the 40-man roster by the Royals on Tuesday but will remain with the organization after the team sent a player to be named later or cash considerations to the Rays in exchange for his rights.
Woods was selected in the Rule 5 draft back in December. Ordinarily, Rule 5 picks must be offered back to their original team if they're removed from the active roster, but the drafting team can also make a trade to retain their rights, as the Royals did here. Woods recorded an excellent 1.88 ERA last season, but that came all the way down at the High-A level, the highest level he's reached thus far.

Royals' Stephen Woods: Should be ready for restart
Woods is fully recovered from the left lateral and high ankle sprains he suffered in late February, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
The 25-year-old sustained the sprains in a spring training game and was limited to light throwing when operations were suspended in March. Woods was selected by the Royals during the Rule 5 draft in the offseason, so while healthy he'll need to be on the active roster or he'll be returned to the Rays.
