Caglianone went 2-for-3 with two walks, one RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Pirates.
Caglianone sat out Friday's contest with a minor hand injury but returned in a big way, reaching base four times and tallying his first stolen base since Aug. 15. It was a much-needed effort from the 23-year-old, who entered the game just 4-for-27 with a 1:11 BB:K through his first 10 September contests. On the season, Cags is slashing .279/.332/.485 with 23 homers, 71 RBI, 68 runs scored and seven steals across 527 plate appearances.

Royals' Jac Caglianone: Lifted early with sore elbow
Rotowire
Caglianone was removed from Saturday's matchup versus Toronto due to left elbow soreness.
Caglianone notched an RBI on an infield single in the first inning but was replaced by Nick Loftin in right field for the top of the third. It's unclear at this point if Caglianone is in danger of missing additional time, but the Royals are unlikely to ask him to play through a significant injury given that they entered Saturday's game nine games back of a wild-card spot. John Rave and Loftin are among the candidates for additional starts in the outfield if Caglianone does need to sit out with the injury.
