Gee had his contract selected and was placed on the Royals' 40-man roster Tuesday, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kansas City placed Gee on the 40-man roster to block his opt out attempt. The 29-year-old had a rough year in 2015, posting a 5.90 ERA over 39.7 innings pitched, and with the Royals having deep and talented pitching, it will be difficult for Gee to see many innings at the moment.
