Trevor Oaks To Start Saturday

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Trevor Oaks will make his major league debut Saturday. Oaks will pitch in the first game of a double header, against the Chicago White Sox.

Jake Junis Visited By The Regression Fairy

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Jake Junis has been a popular target for fantasy owners the last couple weeks due to a few great outings, but the regression fairy came calling on Thursday.

Nate Karns "Progressing"

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Nate Karns (elbow) threw a 25-pitch bullpen session Thursday. "He still felt a little something on his fastball," so he is not quite ready to return yet. It looks like Karns will initially return in a bullpen role, but with Eric Skogland struggling, he might get a shot in the […]

Ian Kennedy Could Start on Sunday

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Ian Kennedy (foot) is reportedly going to make his scheduled start on Sunday. He suffered a bruised right foot during the third inning of his start versus the Brewers on Tuesday. It appears that Kennedy is progressing and is a go for his next start that is scheduled versus the […]

Jakob Junis Could Have Big Night Thursday

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Jakob Junis faces off against the Chicago White Sox on Thursday. Junis has been impressive so far in 2018 with a 2.03 ERA in his four starts.

Mike Moustakas' Hitting Streak Ends At 14 Games

Kansas City Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas finally got saddled with a hitless showing on Tuesday night. This brought his 14-game hitting streak to a close, and he'll just have to go back to being the best player on the team without a hit streak. Moustakas has been one of the only bright parts of […]

Justin Grimm To The Disabled List

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Justin Grimm (back) was placed on the disabled list on Tuesday. Manager Ned Yost told reporters that Grimm has been dealing with back troubles for a while, and it had messed up his mechanics. Grimm has been hit hard for multiple outings in a row, so the trip to the DL […]

Ian Kennedy In Boot For Contusion

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Ian Kennedy will wear a walking boot for the next 24 to 48 hours after suffering a right foot contusion from a line drive on Tuesday night. Kennedy left the game after getting struck in the foot, but X-rays were negative. He is questionable to make his next start on […]

Salvador Perez and Alex Gordon Activated Tuesday

The Kansas City Royals activated both catcher Salvador Perez (knee) and outfielder Alex Gordon (hip) Tuesday. Paulo Orlando and Cam Gallagher have been optioned to Triple-A to make room. Perez will have the most fantasy value of the two, as he should hit in the middle of a Royals lineup that has shown some signs […]

Ian Kennedy An Interesting Play Against Milwaukee Tuesday

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Ian Kennedy faces off against the Milwaukee Brewers at Kauffman Stadium on Wednesday. Kennedy has pitched well so far this season with a 2.35 ERA and 22 strikeouts in 23 innings. In two home starts, he has surrendered just two earned runs with eight strikeouts in 12 innings.

Melky Cabrera Signs With Cleveland

The Cleveland Indians signed free-agent outfielder Melky Cabrera to a minor league contract. Cabrera was decent last year, splitting time between the Chicago White Sox and Kansas City Royals while slashing .285/.324/.423 with 17 home runs and 85 RBI. He'll spend some time in the minor leagues to work his way back into playing shape, […]

Happy Sunday! We’ve got an 11-game featured slate on DraftKings today, one that excludes the west coast games.

It will be tough to fit the Klubot and the Coors Field bats in our lineup today, but there is […]

Lucas Duda Makes Creative Defensive Play

Kansas City Royals first baseman Lucas Duda hasn't been much of a stud at the plate, but his quick thinking led to an important out in Saturday's game. Gloving a slow roller away from the bag, Duda was forced to make a glove-flip usually reserved for middle infielders in order to get the ball over […]

Alcides Escobar Leads Royals In GIDP

Kansas City Royals shortstop Alcides Escobar is rarely at the top of hitting leaderboards, but he's jumped to the top in one metric so far this year. By grounding into a double play on Saturday, Escobar took over as the Royal who has grounded into the most double plays so far this season. Escobar's other […]

Danny Duffy Chased In The Fifth

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Danny Duffy was going on three days rest, and the risk didn't pay off. Duffy left the game in the fifth inning with two runners on. Those runners would come around to score, eventually hanging six earned on Duffy. Duffy allowed 10 hits on the day and only struck out […]
