Misner is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.
Though he'll head to the bench for the series opener in Washington while the left-handed Andrew Alvarez toes the rubber for the Nationals, Misner should be in line for an extended look as a strong-side platoon player while Kyle Isbel (foot) and Vinnie Pasquantino (hand) are on the shelf. Misner started in each of the last four games while the Royals faced right-handed pitchers, going 6-for-12 with a walk, a stolen base and three RBI over those contests.

Royals' Kameron Misner: Getting chance with Kansas City
Rotowire
The Royals recalled Misner from Triple-A Omaha on Wednesday.
He'll join the big club as a replacement for Kyle Isbel (foot), who was placed on the injured list.

Royals' Kameron Misner: Will start season in Triple-A
Rotowire
Kansas City optioned Misner to Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.
Misner was traded from the Rays to the Royals in November. The speedy outfielder stole 22 bases in 30 attempts with Tampa Bay last season but posted a poor .618 OPS and 31.8 percent strikeout rate. Misner has intriguing speed and power, but his struggles making contact could be an obstacle to him spending much time in the majors.

Royals' Kameron Misner: Dealt to Royals for cash
Rotowire
The Royals acquired Misner from the Rays on Monday in exchange for cash considerations.
Misner had been designated for assignment by the Rays last week and is now on the move to a new organization. The Royals don't have much in terms of outfield depth, so it's possible Misner finds a decent amount of playing time in Kansas City. The 27-year-old is no sure bet himself, though, having put up a .585 OPS and 34.1 percent strikeout rate across 232 plate appearances at the big-league level.

Rays' Kameron Misner: Moves back to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Rays optioned Misner to Triple-A Durham on Monday.
The writing seemed to be on the wall for Misner's demotion, as the left-handed-hitting outfielder was slashing just .148/.212/.213 with a 37.6 percent strikeout rate since the beginning of May and had been on the bench for two of the Rays' last five matchups with right-handed pitchers. Misner has an intriguing fantasy profile due to his blend of power and speed, but his contact issues could make it difficult for him to stick as an everyday player in the big leagues. According to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times, the Rays plan to recall Chandler Simpson from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday to replace Misner as a strong-side platoon outfielder.

Rotowire

Misner typically starts against right-handed pitchers like Casey Mize, but he'll cede his spot in the outfield to Christopher Morel in the series finale. With a .167/.205/.262 slash line since the beginning of June, Misner is at risk of a demotion to Triple-A Durham.

Rays' Kameron Misner: Knocks in two
Rotowire
Misner went 2-for-5 with two RBI on Friday against the Tigers.
Misner has gone through a tough stretch at the plate, tallying only 11 hits across his last 27 games and 67 at-bats. However, he delivered Friday with a pair of RBI singles -- one of which came on a bunt. Despite his slump, Misner has started 13 of 18 games in June thanks to his defensive work in the outfield.
Misner is not in the Rays' starting lineup against the Orioles on Monday.
Misner will begin Monday's game on the bench while Christopher Morel, Jake Mangum and Josh Lowe start in the outfield from left to right. Misner has struggled at the plate in June, going 5-for-32 (.156) with one steal, one home run, three RBI and a 29.4 percent strikeout rate.
Misner is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Boston.
It's Misner's third absence from the lineup over the last five games -- his second against a right-handed pitcher. Jake Mangum is in center field and Christopher Morel is in left field for the Rays on Tuesday.

Rays' Kameron Misner: Slugs homer in win
Rotowire
Misner went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.
Misner got the scoring started Tuesday with a wall-scraper solo homer in the second inning. After a strong April, the 27-year-old has struggled significantly of late. Over his past 30 games, the outfielder is slashing just .151/.232/.233 with only three extra-base hits. Misner's defensive versatility is a plus, but he'll have to improve offensively to receive consistent playing time.
Misner went 1-for-4 with two runs scored, an RBI, a walk and a stolen base Sunday against the Blue Jays.
Misner entered Sunday's game hitless across his last seven appearances, spanning 14 at-bats. He broke that stretch in his first plate appearance and then stole his sixth base of the season after reaching on a fielder's choice in his next at-bat. Despite the positive performance, Misner is hitting just .125 across 64 at-bats with three RBI and nine runs scored across 21 games in May. Positively, he does have five of his stolen bases in that span.

Rays' Kameron Misner: Homers in Thursday's win
Rotowire
Misner went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 8-3 win over the Blue Jays.
Misner has hit safely in four straight games, going 4-for-15 with two RBI and eight strikeouts in that span. He hasn't logged a multi-hit effort since April 23 versus the Diamondbacks, but the Rays' injury woes in the outfield have allowed Misner to maintain a starting role in center field. He cedes some at-bats to Chandler Simpson, primarily against left-handed pitchers. Misner has a .256/.305/.436 slash line with four homers, 13 RBI, 18 runs scored, three stolen bases, seven doubles and a triple over 128 plate appearances.

Rays' Kameron Misner: Heading to bench Wednesday
Rotowire
Misner is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
Misner will hit the bench after he had started in each of the Rays' last five games. He went just 2-for-21 at the dish during that span and is now slashing .271/.314/.458 on the season, and his downward-trending production could begin to cost him some starts against left-handed pitching. The lefty-hitting Misner should still be in store for a regular spot in the lineup versus righties until the Rays reclaim some health in the outfield.
