The Kansas City Royals purchased the contract of outfielder John Rave on Monday, while first baseman Cavan Biggio was optioned to Triple-A Ohama.
Rave, 27, is poised to make his major league debut in Monday’s home game against the Cincinnati Reds. He batted .301 with nine home runs and 25 RBIs in 44 games at Ohama this season.
Biggio, 30, was batting .174 in 37 games with the Royals this season and had one home run with four RBIs. In parts of seven major league seasons, including six with the Toronto Blue Jays, Biggio is a career .223 hitter in 561 games with 52 home runs and 190 RBIs.
Because Biggio has more than five years of service, he has to consent to being optioned or he can elect free agency, a decision the Royals should know in the coming days.
