Jac Caglianone Back in Royals Lineup After Shoulder Injury
Kansas City Royals first baseman/outfielder Jac Caglianone (shoulder) is starting in right field and will bat sixth for the Royals in Tuesday’s tilt against the visiting Texas Rangers and right-hander Nathan Eovaldi, according to MLB.com. Caglianone was pulled from Saturday’s game early against the division-rival Minnesota Twins with soreness in his right shoulder, and he missed Sunday’s series finale as a result. But after a scheduled day off on Monday, the 23-year-old left-handed slugger is back in action as he looks to get going at the plate in his first full year in the majors. The former sixth overall pick in 2024 out of the University of Florida is striking out at a 29.8% clip and is slashing a very modest .250/.326/.403 with a .729 OPS, six home runs, 15 RBI, 21 runs scored, and two stolen bases in 60 games and 218 plate appearances. Cags has gone 14-for-54 (.259) with a homer, double, five RBI, three runs scored, and two steals in his last 16 games, dating back to May 20. He has never faced Eovaldi in his young MLB career.
