The Royals optioned Avila to Triple-A Omaha on Saturday.
The 23-year-old's first MLB stint will come to an end after five days, as he cedes his spot on the active roster to Michael Lorenzen (oblique), who's coming off the injured list to start Saturday's game. Avila made his MLB debut Wednesday, throwing a scoreless inning against Washington.

Triple-A Omaha reinstated Avila (shoulder) from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.
Avila appears ready to slot back into the Omaha rotation for the first time since late May after missing more than two months while recovering from a right shoulder impingement. The 23-year-old made three rehab appearances for High-A Quad Cities prior to being activated, covering six innings and striking out 10 while allowing two earned runs on four hits and three walks.
