Royals' Maikel Garcia: Seeing hand specialist
Garcia (hand) is scheduled to see a hand specialist next week, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.
Garcia has been battling through a left hand muscle strain that caused him to go on the 10-day injured list in late June. He was cleared to embark on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday, but he was pulled from that assignment after feeling renewed pain in his left hand. Garcia's recovery timeline should become more clear once he is evaluated by a specialist next week.

Royals' Stephen Kolek: Getting second opinion on forearm
Kolek will get a second opinion on his right forearm Tuesday, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.
Kolek emerged out of his rehab start with Triple-A Omaha on July 18 with a right forearm strain, which prompted the Royals to transfer the right-hander to the 60-day injured list July 22. He's eligible to be activated from the IL in early September, but the Royals will have a better sense of Kolek's recovery timeline once he undergoes more tests.

Royals' Bobby Witt: Tracking toward return Tuesday
Witt (back) is on track to return to the Royals for Tuesday's series opener against the Twins, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.
Witt is scheduled for a full workout Saturday, and as long as that goes well, then the star shortstop should be back in action for the Royals for the start of their home series Tuesday. Witt landed on the 10-day IL on July 22 due to back soreness, but with his impending return, both Andrew Velazquez and Tyler Tolbert will see their reps at shortstop dry up. Prior to his injury, Witt was slashing .279/.350/.450 with 30 steals, 13 homer runs and 39 RBI across 414 plate appearances.

Royals' Nick Loftin: Riding the pine Friday
Loftin is out of the lineup for Kansas City's matchup with the Rockies on Friday.
After going 0-for-4 in Thursday's series finale against Minnesota, Loftin will sit for Friday's series opener against Colorado. Josh Rojas will take over at third base and bat eighth for the Royals.

Royals' Matt Strahm: Serves up walk-off grand slam
Strahm (3-4) blew the save and took the loss Thursday against the Twins. He allowed a walk-off grand slam to the lone batter he faced and was charged with one earned run.
Taking over for Lucas Erceg, Strahm entered with the bases loaded and two outs in the ninth inning for a lefty-lefty matchup against Kody Clemens, but he wasn't able to get the job done. It was another tough appearance for Strahm, who has struggled to a 12.38 ERA and 2.13 WHIP across 11 appearances spanning eight innings in July. Overall, the veteran hurler owns a 7.27 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over 34.2 innings in what has been a season to forget.

Royals' Jac Caglianone: Homers Thursday
Caglianone went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Twins.
Caglianone gave Kansas City the lead in the third inning with a 438-foot blast off Bailey Ober, his 17th homer of the season and first since July 19. Caglianone has logged two hits in back-to-back contests after going 0-for-18 in his previous six games. Overall, the 23-year-old is slashing .254/.313/.455 with 40 RBI and 47 runs scored across 390 plate appearances this year.

Royals' Noah Cameron: Stellar in no-decision
Cameron allowed just one hit and two walks across eight scoreless innings in a no-decision Thursday against the Twins. He struck out seven.
Cameron was nearly perfect Thursday, as he held the Twins without a hit through six innings before Ryan Jeffers led off the seventh with a single. Cameron has now held opponents scoreless in back-to-back starts, allowing just three hits across 13 frames in that span. The southpaw has lowered his ERA to 4.59 across 115.2 innings this season with a 1.34 WHIP and 107:39 K:BB. Cameron will look to keep rolling in his next outing, tentatively scheduled as a rematch with Minnesota next week at home.

Royals' Tyler Tolbert: Goes yard in Wednesday's win
Tolbert went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double, an additional run scored, a steal and a walk in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Twins.
Tolbert opened the scoring with a solo homer in the third inning. He also showed off his elite speed by stealing second base after drawing a leadoff walk in the seventh frame. The utility man has seen limited opportunities this season but has put up good numbers when called upon, slashing .324/.373/.485 with three homers, six RBI, 21 runs and 13 stolen bases in 79 plate appearances. Tolbert has seen increased playing time at shortstop while Bobby Witt (back) has been sidelined, though the latter's return likely isn't far off.

Royals' Randy Dobnak: Brilliant in first win
Dobnak (1-0) earned the win Wednesday against the Twins, allowing no runs on four hits and one walk in seven innings. He struck out four.
It was a season-best showing by Dobnak, who worked his longest outing of the year and set a season high in punchouts. The 31-year-old right-hander has been a serviceable stopgap solution for Kansas City's banged-up rotation, turning in three scoreless appearances so far while giving up no more than two runs in any of his five outings. While his 1.19 WHIP and 14:10 K:BB over 26 innings suggest some regression to his 1.09 ERA is coming, Dobnak should maintain streaming appeal in a rematch next week with a Minnesota team that will once again be without All-Star Byron Buxton (hip).

Royals' Maikel Garcia: Hand discomfort returns
Garcia felt renewed pain in his left hand while playing in a rehab game at Double-A Northwest Arkansas on Tuesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Tuesday marked Garcia's return to game action after landing on the injured list in late June with a strained muscle in his left hand. He was originally slated to play another game Wednesday, but he'll instead return to Kansas City for further evaluation. An updated timeline for his return could emerge after the team takes a closer look at him.

Royals' John Rave: Heads back to big leagues
The Royals recalled Rave from Triple-A Omaha on Wednesday.
Rave will be up with the Royals for the second time this season after Vinnie Pasquantino (wrist) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. During his previous stint with the Royals, Rave handled a reserve role in the outfield and did well with his limited opportunities, reaching base on seven of his 21 plate appearances while providing four extra-base knocks.

Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Back on IL with sore wrist
The Royals placed Pasquantino on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to right wrist soreness.
Pasquantino will head to the IL for the second time this season due to an injury related to his right hand, as he previously underwent surgery June 14 to remove a fractured hamate bone. The 28-year-old doesn't appear to be dealing with as serious of an injury this time around, but he'll be unavailable until at least Aug. 8 while he waits for his wrist to heal. Salvador Perez and Jac Caglianone will likely serve as the main replacements at first base for Pasquantino in the short term, and Nick Loftin could become an option at the position when third baseman Maikel Garcia (hand) completes his rehab assignment and returns from the 10-day IL.

Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Not included in lineup Wednesday
Pasquantino (hand) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.
Pasquantino was lifted in the ninth inning of Tuesday's 3-2 loss after dealing with soreness in his right hand, the same one he had surgery on in mid-June to address a hamate fracture. Per MLB.com, the Royals planned to evaluate Pasquantino further Wednesday, but it's not yet clear if he'll need to miss more than one start. Salvador Perez will fill in for Pasquantino at first base.
