Royals recalled LHP Everett Teaford from Triple-A Omaha.

Teaford will make the start Wednesday afternoon against the Rays. The 28-year-old southpaw hasn't enjoyed much success at the major league level this year, but has a 1.09 ERA and 25/8 K/BB ratio in 33 innings over six starts and one relief appearance with the Storm Chasers.

Royals manager Ned Yost has confirmed that Everett Teaford will be recalled to start Wednesday against the Rays.
