Just got word from Greg Schaum…To fill a void left by Mitch Maier being in the Majors and Shane Costa and Chris Lubanski being on the disabled list, outfielder Jose Duarte has been promoted to Omaha, effective right…now.

ORoyals notes: Shealy hurt, Rosa’s weird season, etc.
Ryan Shealy sat out the last four games, and I wasn’t sure why. Turns out (via Greg Schaum) that Shealy has hurt his knee, but he doesn’t know what he did to it. My guesses were much scarier after Shealy disappeared from the dugout during yesterday’s game. I wondered if he had been traded, or …
