Vinnie Pasquantino

KC First Baseman #9

Vinnie Pasquantino went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against the Red Sox on Monday.

The home run was Pasquantino’s 16th of the season. He hit a solo shot off Luis García in the eighth inning. Pasquantino has hit five home runs in his last six games. He’s hitting .265 with a .773 OPS and 80 RBI on the year.
Brady Singer

KC Starting Pitcher #51

Brady Singer allowed four runs in 5 2/3 innings and took the loss against the Red Sox on Monday.

Singer gave up 10 hits, walked one and struck out six. There was traffic on the bases for the majority of Singer’s outing. He gave up two runs in the second inning on an RBI double by David Hamilton and an RBI groundout by Jarren Duran. He left the game with two outs and two men on base in the fifth inning before Duran doubled off reliever Angel Zerpa, but both runs were Singer’s responsibility. His ERA is 3.03 on the year. The 28-year-old right-hander is set to face the Twins on the road next week.
John Schreiber

KC Relief Pitcher #46

John Schreiber, on the IL since July 29 with a knee injury, was able to throw without a brace Monday.

Schreiber seems set to avoid a lengthy absence. He’ll be eligible to come off the injured list on Aug. 13.
Hunter Harvey

KC Relief Pitcher #56

Hunter Harvey pitched a scoreless ninth inning and picked up the save against the Tigers on Sunday.

Harvey allowed two runs in a blown save against Detroit on Saturday, but the Royals went right back to him and he converted for his first save of the season on Sunday. It appears that the Royals prefer to use Lucas Erceg as the primary setup man with Harvey as the closer at this point. He’ll have quite a bit of fantasy value if Kansas City maintains its current bullpen hierarchy.
Hunter Renfroe

KC Right Fielder #16

Hunter Renfroe went 2-for-4 with a run scored against the Tigers on Sunday.

Renfroe has picked it up at the plate lately. He’s had three multi-hit games in a row and has a 10-game hitting streak. In his last 10 games, he’s 15-for-40 (.375) with two home runs and nine RBI. Renfroe is hitting .246 with a .741 OPS and 44 RBI on the year.
MJ Melendez

KC Left Fielder #1

MJ Melendez went 1-for-1 with a three-run home run against the Tigers on Sunday.

Melendez’ home run was his 13th of the season. He began Sunday’s game on the bench, but pinch hit in the ninth inning and hit a go-ahead three-run shot off Shelby Miller. It was Melendez’ fifth home run in his last 12 games. He’s hitting .195 with a .652 OPS and 34 RBI on the season.
Michael Wacha

KC Starting Pitcher #52

Michael Wacha allowed two runs in six innings and got a no-decision in the Royals’ 3-2 victory over the Tigers on Sunday.

Wacha gave up seven hits, walked four and struck out two. He had won four of his last five starts. The Tigers scored on an RBI single by Gio Urshela in the second inning and a sacrifice fly by Matt Vierling in the fifth inning. It was another solid performance from Wacha. He’s had a quality start in three of his last four starts. Wacha hasn’t allowed more than three earned runs in a game since May 4th, a span of 13 starts. He has a 3.55 ERA on the year. The 33-year-old right-hander is set to face the Cardinals at home next week.
Vinnie Pasquantino

KC First Baseman #9

Vinnie Pasquantino went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and a walk against the Tigers on Saturday.

After drawing a walk in the fourth inning, Pasquantino broke a scoreless tie in the sixth, taking Kenta Maeda deep for a solo homer to put the Royals on the board. He added a base hit in the eighth to reach for the third time. The 26-year-old first baseman is slashing a solid .266/.322/.449 with 15 homers and 79 RBI across 451 plate appearances.
Paul DeJong

KC Shortstop #15

Paul DeJong went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer against the Tigers on Saturday.

DeJong knocked a base hit in the fifth inning, then gave the Royals the lead with a two-run blast off Kenta Maeda in the seventh. The 31-year-old shortstop is slashing .233/.280/.438 with 19 homers and 45 RBI across 375 plate appearances.
Hunter Harvey

KC Relief Pitcher #56

Hunter Harvey allowed two runs in a blown save opportunity against the Tigers on Saturday.

Harvey was summoned in the ninth inning to close out the game with a two-run lead for his first save chance with Kansas City. He gave up a solo homer to Bligh Madris, then surrendered the game-tying run on a pair of doubles before getting out of the inning. James McArthur blew a save chance later and took the loss in the 11th.
