Gavin Cross Slugging Homers In High-A

Kansas City Royals minor league outfielder Gavin Cross, a 2022 first-round pick, is widely regarded as the top prospect in the club's farm system. The Virginia Tech product played so well through just 26 games at Single-A last season that he started 2023 in High-A. The quick promotion has resulted in an underwhelming stat line […]

Bobby Witt Jr. Dropped To Sixth In Batting Order

Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. has been dropped to sixth in the batting order on Monday against the Detroit Tigers and right-hander Michael Lorenzen. It's the lowest spot in the order that Witt has occupied so far this year, and he's mostly been KC's leadoff hitter. But the 22-year-old has been slumping at […]

The expectation is that he's going to heat […]

Hunter Dozier Gets Designated For Assignment

Kansas City Royals third baseman Hunter Dozier has been designated for assignment on Monday.
