Seth Lugo is doing well after exiting tonight's game and will undergo the appropriate protocol and testing.

Kameron Misner, a Mizzou baseball product & Poplar Bluff native, is the reigning International League Player of the Week. He’s batting .276/.360/.466 with 13 HR, 51 RBIs, & 11 SB in 59 games with Triple-A Omaha while playing mostly CF.

Big game last night from Jac Caglianone to lead the Royals to a third straight win. Here’s how both of his blasts sounded on the Royals Baseball Network!

The bunting has been GOOD. The Rays lead MLB with 19 bunt hits. The Royals have nine bunt hits (including four from Kyle Isbel) this year, tied for sixth-most in baseball.

What a 10-day stretch of Royals baseball! A series win to cap a .500 road trip. See you at Kauffman Stadium on Tuesday!

Noah Cameron was in control again today: 6.0 IP, 3 H, 1 R/0 ER, 0 BB, 7 K, 104p-65s It's his fourth Quality Start in his last five outings. In that span, he has a *1.80 ERA in 30.0 IP with 31 K & 3 BB.*

Nick Loftin is now 8-for-22 (.364) this season with runners in scoring position, including three RBI doubles. Min. 20 AB, he has the best average with RISP on the Royals this season.

From the Royals Game Notes: Per Elias, Josh Rojas was the second player in franchise history to have a go-ahead hit in the 9th inning or later in his first PA with the team. The first was JOE KEOUGH, who had a pinch-hit, walk-off single in the first game in franchise history!

Josh Rojas played earlier today with Triple-A Omaha & went 1-for-3 with a double. Then he got on a flight to Minneapolis and arrived at Target Field in time to deliver a pinch-hit, go-ahead, two-run single in the 9th inning in his first at-bat as a Royal. Incredible.

The duality of baseball in 2026. L: Tarp’s on. R: Tarp’s off.

Michael Massey in his last five games, including tonight: 10-for-18, 5 R, 3 HR, 7 RBIs He's 2-for-2 with a homer (so far) tonight.

Scenes from Cincy.

You could have me bake you something, own an autographed LRZ helmet, wear the same clothes @jakeeisenberg.bsky.social wore on a broadcast. We have it all

A sport enjoyed and loved by all. 💙 #PrideMonth

Here’s a super cool “IYKYK” at The K this year. After scanning some of Denny’s scorecards this offseason, Pine Tar Collective’s design team created a “Denny Font” to use for various projects including the decoration of The Walk Off concession stand on the 1B side. Check it out!

Happy #ForeverFountains Friday! The Royals are 5-1 in their new City Connect uniforms while averaging 6.3 runs/game. 📸: Jason Hanna/Royals

No division in baseball is more compact right now than the AL Central. With a win over the Guardians + a Tigers loss, the Royals could find themselves in *first place* after entering the day in last place as recently as this past Saturday.

Always great to see the terrific Rick Rizzs! He’s retiring at the end of this season after 44 outstanding years broadcasting MLB games, including *41* with the Mariners. Best wishes, Rick! 📸: Jason Hanna

Fun baseball trivia question for tonight: Randy Johnson is becoming a part of an exclusive group of players/managers to have their number retired by multiple teams. There are 15 others, including Jackie Robinson. Can you name the other 14?
