Heasley was recalled from Triple-A Omaha on Thursday, Lynn Worthy of The Kansas City Star reports.
Heasley made three starts for the Royals last year, and he'll make his first major-league appearance of the 2022 season as the starter Thursday against the Rangers. The 25-year-old made six starts in Omaha to begin the year, posting a 4.44 ERA, 30:4 K:BB and 0.96 WHIP in 26.1 innings. Kris Bubic was sent down to make room for Heasley on the active roster.
