Jorge Bonifacio Optioned To Triple-A
6 years agoKansas City Royals outfielder Jorge Bonifacio has been optioned to Triple-A Omaha to start the season, but he's bubbling right on the surface of being called back up at any time. Bonifacio made waves in 2017 when he surprised everyone by hitting 17 homers as he turned a short-term chance into a long-term gig. All that progress was halted in spring 2018 when he was suspended for PEDs. After he returned, he mired away without any real power in his swing. Heading in 2019, the starting right field job has been handed to Jorge Soler, but Bonifacio will be waiting. Whether he can regain his pre-suspension power will likely decide how much pressure he puts on the major leaguers.
