The Kansas City Royals will recall outfielder Drew Waters when they start the second half of the season on Friday. Waters will take the place of catcher/outfielder MJ Melendez (ankle) who was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left ankle sprain. The 25-year-old was once a highly touted prospect when he came up with the Atlanta Braves, but it hasn't translated when he has gotten big-league time with the Royals over the past few seasons. For Triple-A Omaha, Waters has hit .273 with 10 homers, 44 RBI and 11 stolen bases. With the Royals, Waters is expected to serve as outfield depth and can remain on the waiver wire for now.
