Latest news and updates about the Royals
Randy Dobnak Time mostly continued, and Carter Jensen hit yet another home run, but the Royals fell to the Boston Red Sox 5-1. Randy Dobnak’s line is perhaps a bit deceiving. When he left the game, he had allowed 1 run in 5.2 innings on 4 hits, no walks, and 4 strikeouts. Unfortunately, two of […]
The Royals pulled off their first win against Boston in over a year last night. If they win tonight, it would be their first series victory over the AL East team since they took three of four in August 2022 and their first series victory in Boston since July of 2017. The first win of […]
Maureen Mullen at MLB writes that Jac Caglianone took some BP on Friday. Jac Caglianone took on-field batting practice before Friday’s series opener against the Red Sox at Fenway Park for the first time since suffering a Grade 1 flexor strain in his left elbow in Saturday’s loss to the Blue Jays. Before taking a regular rotation with […]

The Red Sox have stumbled through stretches at Fenway Park throughout the season. With October approaching, those problems have resurfaced at a particularly bad time. Boston fell behind by three runs early on Friday night and couldn't complete the comeback, going 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position in a 3-2 loss to the last-place Royals at Fenway Park.
BOSTON — For the final four innings on Friday night at Fenway Park, the Red Sox were looking for that one big hit to turn the game — and their week — around. But it proved to elude them, as the Sox dropped their third straight game in a 3-2 loss to the Royals in the opener of a three-game series.

After losing the final two games of a three-game set to the Angels, who have the worst record in the American League,...
We said the Royals were pesky. They came in and proved it in Game 1. Kansas City beat the Red Sox 3-2 at Fenway Park on Friday night. Not a great start to a series that matters. The Royals had no business being three up through three innings in this ballpark against this team—and yet […]
Carter Jensen hit a pair of doubles, drove in a run, and scored a pair to lead the Royals to their second straight victory and first win against Boston since August 6 of last year. The final score was 3-2 in favor of Kansas City. It was kind of a weird start for Seth Lugo. […]
The only team Seth Lugo has a worse career ERA (min. three appearances) against than tonight’s opponent, the Boston Red Sox, are the Cleveland Guardians. And considering how poorly Lugo has pitched since the All-Star Break and how often the Red Sox get to him, it doesn’t take much imagination at all to see his […]
⚾️ First Pitch: 7:10pm EDT – Fenway Park, Boston, MA 📺 TV: NESN 📻 Radio: WEEI
Boston Red Sox left-handed pitcher Garrett Crochet gave an update on his injury status.
On April 25, the Red Sox were 10-17, tied with the Royals for the second-worst record in the American League. Boston management shocked the baseball world by firing popular championship-winning manager Alex Cora and replacing him with minor league manager Chad Tracy. Since then, the Red Sox have gone 70-50, the second-best team in the […]

I figured I wasn’t going to post anything more until the Game Thread, but everyone is reporting that the Jays are calling up 30-year-old outfielder Rudy Martin. They picked up Martin off waivers from the Royals, back in July. He was drafted by the Royals in the 25th round of the 2014 draft and he’s […]
Some Royals seasons suck. When a team is expected to be bad and finishes with a bad record, there isn’t much mystery to it. When Scott Elarton pitches on Opening Day, what do you expect? But the truly painful seasons are the ones that begin with optimism, only for things to go terribly, terribly wrong. […]
In 2024, the Royals were in the ALDS. Second place in the AL Central. In 2025 they fell to third, missed the playoffs. They were likely hoping to bounce back. Better health and maybe they’re right back in the mix? Nope. In 2026 they’re coming to Boston in last place in the AL Central with […]
At The Star, Jaylon Thompson writes about pitching coach Brian Sweeney and the “three-fastball” trend: Kansas City Royals pitching coach Brian Sweeney chuckled when approached about the latest trend sweeping Major League Baseball. Sweeney is generally on top of analytical changes. And even he couldn’t truly pinpoint when the league leaned toward the “three-fastball” strategy. […]

Departing Houston with a series win had the Diamondbacks ahead of the Padres by a half of a game yet again with them hoping to add to that lead with a series against the Kansas City Royals on deck. As mentioned in the last episode, the Royals offense is one of the weaker parts of […]
We’ll start with South Bend tonight. South Bend Cubs The South Bend Cubs were hijacked by the Quad Cities River Bandits (Royals), 3-1.

PHOENIX — After missing the last two games against the Kansas City Royals with lower back issues, there’s been an update on Arizona Diamondbacks’ Corbin Carroll after he underwent imaging Thursday. Have heard nothing concerning on Corbin Carroll’s MRI and that he will in the lineup tomorrow, — John Gambadoro (@Gambo987) September 11, 2026 According […]
It’s been a rough season for Salvador Perez, whose -1.0 fWAR is the lowest of any qualified hitter in baseball. Perez has 19 home runs and is still en route to his tenth season of 20-plus homers, but he has otherwise hit just .228/.273/.383 over 574 plate appearances, translating to a career-low 77 wRC+. Perez […]
Recaps [Dbacks.com] Gallen, Soroka return, but D-backs fall out of 3rd NL Wild Card spot – In Arizona’s 5-2 loss to the Royals in the series finale, Gallen worked the opening 3 1/3 innings. He wasn’t able to get through the fourth because a 10-pitch at-bat against Nick Loftin with one out lifted his pitch […]
Bobby Witt Jr. hit his 18th homer last night, which was the difference in a 5-2 win over the Diamondbacks In the fifth inning, D-backs reliever Michael Soroka left a 94.9 mph sinker over the heart of the plate in a tie game. It seemed like a customary get-me-over fastball after Soroka walked Carter Jensen […]
Yesterday, the Red Sox made what I consider to be a rather significant announcement in setting up their rotation for the upcoming weekend series against Kansas City: This matters because the Red Sox now have exactly 15 games left. That’s three perfect trips around the rotation when coupled with off days scheduled on the 14th, […]
