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&#8217;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.
