Royals reshuffle bullpen as Black moves to relief
Kansas City Royals manager Dick Howser demoted Bud Black to the bullpen to clear space for Danny Jackson in the five man rotation. Leonard’s return from knee surgery strengthens the staff while Black becomes the lone left handed reliever. Jackson, eased into relief after an ankle sprain, will be used out of the bullpen until needed in the rotation. Al Hargesheimer was optioned to Omaha to make room.
