The Royals designated shortstop Tony Pena for assignment and optioned center fielder Mitch Maier to Triple-A Omaha on Thursday.

The moves cleared roster space for shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt and third baseman Alex Gordon. Both are coming off the disabled list and will be in the starting lineup for Friday night's game against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Pitcher Sidney Ponson reported from his injury rehabilitation assignment but remained on the disabled list.
