BOSTON (AP) -The Kansas City Royals reinstated catcher John Buck from the bereavement list and optioned catcher Matt Tupman to Triple-A Omaha.
Buck missed the weekend series in Florida to be with his wife, who had complications in her pregnancy. She gave birth to twin sons Cooper and Brody on Thursday, about 12 weeks early; the team said the situation has since stabilized.
Tupman made his major league debut against the Marlins, with a pinch-single in his first at-bat. He returns to the minors with a 1.000 batting average.
