PEORIA, Ill. - The Kane County Cougars, in conjunction with the Kansas City Royals, announced today that right-handed pitcher Andrew Ferguson has been promoted from Extended Spring Training to be Sunday's starting pitcher at O'Brien Field against the Peoria Chiefs.

Ferguson went 0-3 with a 5.45 ERA in 20 relief appearances last year for Burlington after being drafted by the Royals with their 18th-round pick in last June's draft.
