Latest news and updates about the Royals
After blowing a three-run lead in the 5th inning, the Royals trailed 4-3 heading to the 8th. Michael Massey delivered, with a left on left, go-ahead two-run homer into the right field seats, putting the Royals up 5-4. They would hold that lead and earn a split in the Motor City. The Royals immediately jumped […]
The MLB trade deadline is full of bubble teams, particularly in the American League. So who should buy and who should sell?

The Royals play their fourth and final game in Detroit this afternoon, it’s also the seventh and final game they play up there this season. The first six games have all been one-run games, unfortunately the Royals have came out on the wrong side of it 5 times. However, yesterday they did not. Nick Loftin […]
The Detroit Tigers fell short of a series-clinching win on Saturday afternoon, falling to the Kansas City Royals, 3-2, as the offense continues to struggle and the bullpen once again failed to maintain a late lead. It was the 11th-straight game between the two teams decided by one run at Comerica Park. The Motor City […]
Right-hander Joe Ryan will not start this weekend against the Athletics, manager Derek Shelton told reporters, including Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com. Ryan is dealing with arm fatigue. The club is hopeful he can pitch in an upcoming series against the Royals. Mike Paredes was expected to start tonight, but was also scratched. Kendry Rojas ended […]
All season, Royals fans have been waiting for Salvador Perez to smash his 318th home run and take over the franchise record from team legend George Brett. On a warm summer day in late July, Salvy did it. There’s something poetic about this one, as there always was going to be with home number 318. […]
The Tigers looked to make it three in a row at home against the Royals in a four-game weekend series. It was a tight game all throughout, not unlike Friday night’s game, but a couple of solo home runs late in the game spoiled a solid pitching performance as the Royals won 3-2 on Saturday […]
Salvador Perez has resume most baseball players would envy – All-Star appearances, Gold Gloves, Silver Slugger Awards, and a World Series MVP. Now he can add one more accomplishment to his list – all-time Royals home run champ. Salvy jumped on a hanging breaking ball from Kyle Finnegan and deposited it into the left field […]

A trade! A trade with Kansas City! If you were here expecting a bigger deadline deal with the Royals, I have some bad news for you. Misner is likely no more than better organizational depth than what Steward Berroa was. Once a compensation pick for the Marlins, Misner is now floating in between the majors […]
The Phillies announced that outfielder Kameron Misner has been acquired from the Royals for cash considerations. Misner was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley, and fellow outfielder Steward Berroa was designated for assignment to create space on the Phillies’ 40-man roster. This is the second time in the last eight months that Misner has been traded […]
It’s another day, so another game against the Tigers. Can the Royals win this one? Your guess is as good as mine, but if history proves accurate, I wouldn’t bet on it. Michael Wacha will take the mound for the Royals. It might be his final start for the boys in blue. I wouldn’t hold […]

The San Francisco Giants returned home battered and broken after a 1-5 road trip in which they suffered five straight losses, including a sweep to the lowly — but well-matched — Kansas City Royals. The offense couldn’t score more than three runs. The pitching, starters and relievers alike, struggled to preserve leads. Crucial defensive mistakes […]
Salvador Perez has tied George Brett with 317 career home runs as a Royal, and this episode of the Royals Rundown Podcast gives the milestone its moment before turning to a trade deadline that is now days away. Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco open with the home run series against the Giants, Perez’s recent hot […]
The Royals are impressed with Randy Dobnak through his first two starts, writes Anne Rogers. “I’m just here to pitch,” Dobnak said. “If they want me to start, if they want me in long relief, at the end of the day, I’ll do whatever the team needs. I’ve done both over my career over the […]
The 2026 season is on life support for the San Diego Padres after losing five of seven games to open the second half of the season following the All-Star break. With three games against the Kansas City Royals (the worst team in baseball at the time) and four games against the Atlanta Braves (a team […]
The Detroit Tigers took the second of the four-game home series against the Kansas City Royals on Friday night with a narrow 2-1 victory. Tarik Skubal was his dominant self over 7 1/3 innings of work and the offense managed to muster up just enough for the win for the second night in a row. […]
After Thursday night’s thrilling come-from-behind win to open the four-game series against the Royals, the tension was high all night as the Tigers, behind terrific pitching and just enough offence, squeaked-out a 2-1 victory on Friday night to ensure at least a series tie. Tarik Skubal made his fifteenth start of the season; his previous […]
The Royals dropped yet another one-run game to the Tigers, their fifth in a row. But at least they didn’t give fans any real hope in this one as the Tigers won 2-1. Here are two things that, had I said them two days ago, would not have made sense. The Tigers scored both of […]

Even after last night’s disappointing loss, the Royals have still won five of seven coming out of the All-Star Break. That’s not nearly enough to get them back into contention, but at least potential trade pieces like Seth Lugo, Michael Wacha, and Matt Strahm have performed well. One player who sadly hasn’t rebounded is tonight’s […]
