Jac Caglianone Scratched from Royals Lineup on Sunday with Groin Soreness
Kansas City Royals first baseman/outfielder Jac Caglianone (groin) was scratched from the lineup for his team’s game against the Chicago White Sox on Sunday due to left groin soreness, per Anne Rogers of MLB.com. Across 297 plate appearances in 2026, Caglianone is hitting .265/.337/.481 with 14 home runs, 30 RBI, 39 runs scored, and three stolen bases. The 23-year-old has been on an absolute tear in June, hitting .322 with nine home runs and 19 RBI across 102 plate appearances this month. With a 16.8% barrel rate and a 58.4% hard-hit rate, Caglianone carries top-tier power upside when healthy. Fantasy managers will have to hope that Caglianone’s injury is nothing serious and that he will be able to return to the Royals lineup for the start of their three-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday. With Caglianone out of the lineup on Sunday, Kansas City moved catcher Salvador Perez to first base and plugged outfielder Starling Marte in as the designated hitter.
