They optioned Crow AND Hendricks
i thought they sent crow down to bring up hendricks and then they'd just trade them back today. obviously not. i'll take myself down to the aaa royals thread for a day.
Crow was gonna stay until Sep 1. Hendricks was optioned for Jayson Nix I think
Crow and Hendricks both went to NWA. Their season ends Monday so the Royals can recall both for Tuesday. Hendricks went down to make room for Downs; Royals don't have to make a roster move for Nix until he reports, which is scheduled to be Saturday. Speculation is Colon will be optioned to NWA and come back Tuesday. As long as all are on the 40-man roster on 8-31, they'll be eligible for post-season play. All will be.
Chen will stay, but we won't see much of him.
