Salvador Perez Blasts Insurance Homer

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez smashed a solo shot on Friday to help put the game away against the Yankees. Perez would later help ensure the victory by slapping a double that scored another run, upping his game total to three RBI. Perez has picked up right where he left off last season, hitting […]

Whit Merrifield Steals Yankees Mojo

Kansas City Royals second baseman Whit Merrifield doesn’t care that C.C. Sabathia’s a lefty. He stole third after a leadoff double in the first, and then apparently decided that was so easy, he’d take second a couple times to make it more challenging. Merrifield’s three hits on the day also brought his season average up […]

AL-Only Waiver Team of the Week - MLB Week 7

Every week a significant player will hit the disabled list, start a slump, or a get traded out the division. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long terms standings of a team, but failing to take advantage of […]

Jorge Soler is Not in The Lineup on Tuesday

Kansas City Royals outfielder Jorge Soler (rib) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. He suffered the injury during a leaping catch on Monday.

Hunter Dozier Recalled And Starting

The Kansas City Royals have recalled corner infielder/outfielder Hunter Dozier from Triple-A Omaha to fill in for the injured Lucas Duda. Dozier has valuable third base eligibility in most formats, but he'll be filling in at first base while he's up. Dozier is a former top prospect whose window of opportunity is closing due to […]

Lucas Duda Hits The Disabled List

Kansas City Royals first baseman Lucas Duda (foot) is headed to the disabled list for plantar fasciitis. Duda played in all of Sunday's game without indication of the issue, but it's a condition that can flare up unexpectedly. Such a problem could persist, so it's unclear how long he'll be out at the moment. The […]

Kansas City Royals prospect outfielder Bubba Starling is off to the disabled list once again. Once considered one of the team’s top prospects, Starling has become a specter what could have been.

Jon Jay Settles Back In At Leadoff

Kansas City Royals outfielder Jon Jay was promoted back to the leadoff position six games ago, and so far, he’s taken to it like a duck to water. Jay has hit .320 with a .345 OBP and five runs scored in the 27 leadoff plate appearances he’s had since his promotion. While he won’t provide […]

For the second night in a row, the Kansas City Royals starting pitcher surrendered nine earned runs.

Hammel struggled mightily, but his offense kept bailing him out for the first […]

Kelvin Herrera Locked Down His Eighth Save

Kansas City Royals closer Kelvin Herrera locked down his eighth save of the season on Friday by pitching a clean inning against division rival Cleveland.

Brad Keller Nails Down First MLB Win

Keller tossed three scoreless innings as the Royals chipped away at the Indians staff and came back from a 9-5 deficit to steal a win. Keller has mostly served in short relief […]

Alcides Escobar Drives In Four In Win

Kansas City Royals shortstop Alcides Escobar is a pretty terrible major league hitter, but he is still a major league hitter, which means he’s still incredibly talented and can have a big night at any moment. Friday, Escobar had the first of those nights in a long time. Escobar drove in four runs to help […]
