The Kansas City Royals announced a series of transactions on Monday that affects their Triple-A affiliate Omaha Storm Chasers roster prior to this evening's series-opening matchup versus the Nashville Sounds at First Tennessee Park in Nashville, Tennessee.

Left-hander Brian Flynn has been recalled to Kansas City. The southpaw has accumulated a 5-3 record and 5.40 ERA (30 ER/50.0 IP) in 22 appearances (four starts) with the Storm Chasers, adding 50 strikeouts.
In addition, right-handed hurler Jace Vines has been transferred to Omaha from High-A Wilmington, and is expected to make his Triple-A debut this evening. In 25 outings (20 starts) between the Blue Rocks and Low-A Lexington, Vines owns a 12-7 record and 3.52 ERA (52 ER/133.0 IP). He ranks second among all Royals farmhands in wins (12) and third in earned-run average (3.52) this season.
The Royals also announced that right-hander Yender Càramo has been activated from Omaha's Disabled List. Over 23 appearances, including 12 starts, with the Storm Chasers in 2017, the Venezuela native has compiled a 3-7 record with one save and 5.09 ERA (46 ER/81.1 IP).
