The Royals were happy to salvage the series on Sunday, writes Jaylon Thompson.
“They have a good offense and have been on a roll,” Quatraro said. “It was our bullpen that did the job.”
KC finishes with a 3-4 road trip. The club split a four-game set against the Tampa Bay Rays and picked up a win on Sunday.
“I don’t think it’s a bad road trip considering the teams that we are playing,” Thomas said.
Jac Caglianone was scratched from Sunday’s game, writes Anne Rogers.
Manager Matt Quatraro said Caglianone woke up Sunday with soreness and it didn’t improve when he got to the field after treatment. It also didn’t subside when he tried to get it to loosen up through some pregame work. His status off the bench was unclear, and the next steps will be determined based on how he feels throughout the day, when the Royals get back to Kansas City on Sunday night and throughout Monday’s team off-day.
ADVERTISEMENT“They’re going to reevaluate,” Quatraro said. “Obviously, we’re going home tonight. We’ll see how it feels and see if we have to do any further testing or anything.”
Carter Jensen extended his hitting streak to 19-games, setting a Royals rookie record.
“It means a lot, for sure,” Jensen said of his hit streak. “I think it’s a testament to hard work from me, hitting coaches, a bunch of people who have helped me along the way. It definitely means a lot to me. But I think just trying to get some wins across is the most important thing for me, honestly.”
Cole Ragans will have surgery this week.
After determining last week that Cole Ragans needs elbow surgery, the left-hander has a date set and will undergo the procedure this coming Wednesday, July 1, but we won’t know the full extent and severity of the surgery until the doctors begin to operate.
Dr. Neal ElAttrache will perform the surgery on Ragans next week.
“They’ve read the MRI, but I think they’re not going to be clear on the extent of [the surgery] until they get in there and understand what they see,” manager Matt Quatraro said.
