DETROIT — Kansas City<\/a> manager Matt Quatraro was not with the Royals because of a personal matter Thursday night when they started a series against the Detroit Tigers<\/a>.<\/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 AL Manager of the Year voting. The Royals’ record this season ranks among the worst in the majors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.espn.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jul 23, 2026, 05:41 PM ET DETROIT — Kansas City manager Matt Quatraro was not with the Royals because of a personal matter Thursday night when they started a series against the Detroit Tigers.
