Royals News

The Kansas City Royals continue to battle through a tough season, now sitting at 33-46 after a narrow 2-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. While Jac Caglianone shone with his third multi-homer game in June, the team's luck took a hit off the field as they learned of Cole Ragans likely needing elbow surgery and Maikel Garcia landing on the injured list with a left hand strain. This devastating injury news adds to the growing list of absences for the Royals, who already have been struggling with depth in the minors. Despite the offensive surge, averaging 6.4 runs per game over the past week, the pitching woes remain, which could put a damper on any momentum they hope to carry into their next matchup against the Rays. With injuries piling up, it's hard not to feel the weight of missed opportunities.
