KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals have made a series of roster moves to bolster their bullpen and overall depth as they play for their first playoff appearance in nearly 30 years.

The Royals, who began Tuesday 412 games out of the final wild-card spot, recalled pitchers Wade Davis and Louis Coleman from Class A Wilmington, where they were optioned last week.

They also recalled left-hander Donnie Joseph and infielder Johnny Giavotella from Triple-A Omaha, and purchased the contracts of infielders Pedro Ciriaco and Carlos Pena from the Storm Chasers.

Kansas City cleared the necessary roster space by designating for assignment outfielder Edinson Rincon, who was at Double-A Northwest Arkansas. Left-hander Noel Arguelles was recalled from the same club and placed on the 60-day disabled list.
