Burlington, IA (June 6, 2006) "" The Kansas City Royals have placed Burlington Bees OF Carlos Arroyo on the disabled list.

C Kiel Thibault was activated from the DL today to fill the open roster spot. Thibault had been out since May 20th after getting spiked below the right knee while sliding into second.
