DETROIT<\/strong> \u2013 Kansas City<\/a> manager Matt Quatraro<\/a> was not with the Royals due to a personal matter on Thursday night when they started a series against the Detroit Tigers.<\/p>\n

The Royals, who did not give details, said they expect Quatraro back soon.<\/p>\n

Paul Hoover was the team’s acting manager for the series-opening game in Detroit, where Vance Wilson was the bench coach and Jos\u00e9 Alguacil coached third base. They will serve in those roles until Quatraro returns.<\/p>\n

During the offseason, Kansas City gave Quatraro a three-year contract extension that runs through 2029 with a team option for 2030. He replaced Mike Matheny after the 2022 season and has led the Royals to a 267-322 record over three-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

Kansas City won 82 games last year and 86 in 2024, giving the franchise consecutive winning seasons for the first time in a decade and Quatraro finished second last season in voting for AL Manager of the Year voting. The Royals’ record this season ranks among the worst in the majors.<\/p>\n
