Weiss was claimed off waivers by the Royals on Friday and optioned to Triple-A Omaha.
The Diamondbacks designated Weiss for assignment last weekend, but the Royals deemed him worthy of a 40-man spot.

He will likely need to improve upon his 7.45 ERA at that level this year in order to get a look in Kansas City.
