Brandon Finnegan: Recalled For Bullpen Aid

Finnegan was recalled by the Royals on Friday, Fox Sports Kansas City's Joel Goldberg reports.

Analysis:

The Royals' game against the White Sox went 13 innings Thursday, so the bullpen could use some reinforcements. It would seem likely that once everything gets back to normal in the Royals' bullpen Finnegan will be sent back down to Double-A Northwest Arkansas to continue to develop as a starter. His stuff has looked good so far this season as his arm is less fatigued than it was in the postseason last year. He is a top-100 prospect by many accounts for those in dynasty leagues, thanks to a mid-90s fastball and two secondary offerings that have shown plus potential. However, in the short term he will also offer some potential in single-season leagues thanks to the potential to rack up strikeouts with strong ratios out of the big league bullpen.
