Kansas City has come out of the All-Star break 4-1 and are going for the sweep today. Unfortunately, everyone is getting hurt and the run differential is still negative over those five games because of the blowout on Sunday. Jac Caglianone is out after hurting his shoulder last night and Bobby Witt Jr. is going to the injured list. The season of attrition continues. Replacing Bobby is Andrew Velazquez who has been bouncing around the majors and minors for a long time and will make his debut for the Royals. He is an okay defensive shortstop with a career wRC+ of 48, so please heal quickly Bobby!
Seth Lugo will take the mound today trying to build off of a strong start against San Diego Last time out. He will face Landen Roupp. Roupp is a 27 year old righty who has been pretty solid for the Giants the last three years. He does have a proclivity for walking some batters and he has struggled with runners on base this season.
