Kansas City reliever Greg Holland was placed on the 15-day disabled list Saturday with a left rib stress reaction. The Royals recalled right-hander Jeremy Jeffress from Triple-A Omaha.

Holland gave up three runs and retired none of the five batters he faced in a loss to Toronto Friday night. He was 0-2 with an 11.37 ERA and a blown save in seven relief appearances. After allowing just one earned run in 28.2 innings at Kauffman Stadium in 2011, he has given up six earned runs in 2.2 innings at home this season.

Jeffress was 2-0 with a 1.50 ERA and allowed just four hits in 12 innings in six games for the Storm Chasers while striking out eight and walking six.
