The Royals recalled Bivens from the Arizona Complex League on Thursday.
Bivens will give the Royals another bullpen option while Steven Cruz (paternity) is away. The 32-year-old Bivens has been touched up for 10 runs (eight earned) over five innings covering his four outings in the big leagues this season.

Bivens was optioned to Triple-A Omaha on Monday.
Bivens failed to make an appearance out of the bullpen after being promoted to the big-league club Saturday. Tony Gonsolin (elbow) was activated from the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move.

The Royals recalled Bivens from Triple-A Omaha on Saturday.
Bivens was claimed off waivers from San Francisco last Saturday, and he'll now be called upon to provide bullpen depth while Craig Kimbrel (bereavement) is away from the team. Bivens will almost certainly be limited to low-leverage work given that he's allowed eight earned runs in just five major-league innings this season.

The Royals claimed Bivens off waivers from the Giants on Saturday.
Bivens has been assigned to Triple-A Omaha. He was designated for assignment by San Francisco earlier in the week after appearing in four games out of the bullpen. Across 81 big-league appearances from 2023-2024 -- his only prior MLB experience -- Bivens posted a 3.68 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 98:36 K:BB across 129.2 innings.

The Giants designated Bivens for assignment Wednesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
The move makes room on the Giants' 40-man roster for Duncan Davitt, who was claimed off waivers from Atlanta. Bivens has spent most of the 2026 season in Triple-A, where he has a 4.92 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and a 72:28 K:BB over 75 innings.

The Giants optioned Bivens to Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday.
Bivens will head back to the minors after giving up eight earned runs in just three innings across his two appearances following his call-up Tuesday. Seth Lonsway will come up from Triple-A to fill the opening in the Giants' pitching staff.
