## Resource

Royals shock fans by calling up surprise outfielder Drew Waters, who was cut before the season and is now batting .251 with 12 homers in Triple-A. They also bring up right-hander Easton McGee, who struggled early but gets another shot, and trade-acquired pitcher Nolan Hoffman, who’s been dominant in Omaha with 14 strikeouts in just over eight innings — all three set to debut in the big leagues.
