Renfroe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates. Renfroe will hit the bench for the third time in four matchups with a right-handed starting pitcher (Jared Jones). The 32-year-old is slashing a modest .237/.308/.397 over 393 plate appearances on the season and looks like he could have to settle for a part-time role down the stretch.

Renfroe isn't in Kansas City's lineup Saturday versus the Pirates. Renfroe will get a breather Saturday after going 0-for-4 in Friday's victory, snapping a four-game hitting streak that began when he returned from the injured list. While Renfroe sits, Adam Frazier will patrol right field while Tommy Pham serves as the DH.

Renfroe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees. Renfroe will head to the bench for the series finale in New York after he had picked up starts at either designated hitter or in right field in each of the past three contests while going 3-for-12 with a solo home run. Tommy Pham will cover right field Wednesday, while Adam Frazier gets a turn as the Royals' DH.

Renfroe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 10-4 loss to the Yankees. Renfroe has gone 4-for-12 with three RBI over three games since he returned from a hamstring strain he suffered in late August. The outfielder has made all three of his starts in right field since his return, pushing Tommy Pham to left field or designated hitter more regularly. For the year, Renfroe is at a .240/.313/.405 slash line with 13 homers, 50 RBI, 42 runs scored and a stolen base across 107 contests.

The Royals activated Renfroe (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Thursday. Renfroe has been shelved since late August with a right hamstring strain but got through a rehab game this week with no issues. It's unclear how the Royals will make all the pieces fit, as they acquired Tommy Pham, Yuli Gurriel and Robbie Grossman since Renfroe was last active. He will likely start against most lefties, but it's possible he could ride the pine against some righties.
