The Royals bolstered their organizational pitching depth Friday afternoon by claiming left-hander Paul Mildren on waivers from the Florida Marlins.

Mildren, 23, will report to Class AAA Omaha. He is 5-7 with a 5.86 ERA this season in 21 starts at Class AAA Albuquerque.

The acquisition fills the last opening on the Royals’ 40-man roster.

Mildren has spent his entire six-year professional career in the Florida system after signing in 2001 as a non-drafted free agent. He is 37-54 with a 4.23 ERA in 158 minor-league games but has never pitched in the big leagues.

nothing like bolstering their pitching rotation by signing a guy who has been in the minors for 6 years.
