Renfroe exercised his $7.6 million player option for the 2025 season Thursday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports. The veteran outfielder began the season as the starting right fielder for the Royals, though his role shrunk after the acquisitions of Tommy Pham and Robbie Grossman. Renfroe's primary shortcoming was a lack of power, as he posted a career-low .163 ISO across 424 plate appearances. Pham is entering free agency, which could give Renfroe a shot to start again entering 2025.

Renfroe is not in the lineup for Tuesday's Game 1 of the American League Wild Card Series versus the Orioles. Renfroe started eight of the final 12 games of the regular season in right field (five against lefties, three versus righties). However, with Vinnie Pasquantino back in action and limited to designated-hitter duties, the Royals are going with Tommy Pham in right field for Game 1 versus righty Corbin Burnes.

Renfroe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-2 win over Atlanta. Renfroe has homered in two of his last three games, giving him 15 long balls on the year. It's his lowest power output in any season in which he's played at least 100 games. The veteran outfielder has added 52 RBI, 44 runs scored, one stolen base, 18 doubles and a .229/.297/.392 slash line over 120 contests. He enters the postseason in a timeshare with Tommy Pham and Adam Frazier for playing time in right field.

Renfroe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Nationals. Renfroe tied the game at 1-1 with his second-inning blast. The veteran outfielder has gone 8-for-44 (.182) with two homers and four RBI over 14 games since he returned from a hamstring injury. He's now at a .230/.300/.389 slash line with 14 homers, 51 RBI, 43 runs scored, one stolen base and 18 doubles through 118 contests. With Tommy Pham and Adam Frazier also in the mix for playing time in right field, Renfroe is likely to remain in a part-time role to close out the regular season.

Renfroe is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants. Renfroe will sit for a second straight contest, with Adam Frazier filling right field Saturday. Renfroe has one hit in his last 16 at-bats and is slashing .232/.303/.387 on the year.
