Hunter Renfroe: Released by Kansas City
The Royals released Hunter Renfroe on Wednesday.Renfroe went unclaimed on waivers after being DFA'd by Kansas City on Friday, and he'll now be pushed out of the organization. The 33-year-old outfielder was in the midst of the worst season of his career, slashing .182/.241/.242 across 108 plate appearances, and he's unlikely to attract more than a minor-league offers at this point.

Royals' Hunter Renfroe: DFA'd by Kansas City
The Kansas City Royals designated Hunter Renfroe for assignment Friday.Renfroe opened the season with a regular role in Kansas City's outfield, but he started just eight of 20 games in May and has now been removed from the big-league roster. The 33-year-old struggled to a .182/.241/.242 slash line in 108 plate appearances after fading to a .689 OPS in 120 contests last year. Given that production, plus what remains of his $7.57 million salary for 2025, Renfroe is a safe bet to pass through waivers unclaimed.

Royals' Hunter Renfroe: On bench again Wednesday
Hunter Renfroe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.Renfroe is out of the lineup against a right-hander for the third time in four games after an 0-for-3 performance in Tuesday's 4-2 loss brought his season-long batting line down to .119/.213/.143 over 47 plate appearances.
