Royals' Maikel Garcia: Slated for re-evaluation Sunday
Garcia (hand) began swinging during the All-Star break and is set to be re-evaluated Sunday, per MLB.com.
Garcia landed on the injured list June 23 due to a nagging muscle strain in his left hand, but the 26-year-old took a step in the right direction by beginning to swing a bat during the All-Star break. Sunday's re-evaluation will determine whether he's ready to ramp up his hitting progression, including taking full rounds of batting practice, and should provide a clearer picture of when the third baseman could return to game action. Before being shelved, Garcia hit .261/.320/.373 with three homers, 30 RBI, 32 runs and five stolen bases across 69 games.

Royals' Carlos Estevez: Restarts throwing program
Estevez (shoulder) started a throwing program Friday, per MLB.com.
Estevez had been shut down since receiving an injection July 1 for a right rotator cuff strain. While it's a positive sign to see the veteran back throwing, the extent of his activity is unknown and figures to be limited, with the Royals expected to proceed cautiously given the series of setbacks the right-hander has faced since landing on the injured list April 1, originally due to a left foot contusion. An exact timeline remains unclear and will depend on how he responds to the throwing progression, but Estevez likely won't be nearing a return to the big-league roster until later in August.

Royals' Kris Bubic: Could resume throwing soon
Bubic (elbow/shoulder) could begin a new throwing program next week, per MLB.com.
Bubic has been shelved since mid-May due to left elbow soreness before developing left shoulder discomfort during a rehab outing. The southpaw received a cortisone injection July 2 and has been shut down since, though he could be ready to resume throwing in the near future. Beginning a throwing program would mark a step in the right direction, though Bubic is likely to need considerable time to progress through his rehab before embarking on a rehab assignment and ultimately returning to the active roster. Prior to his lengthy stint on the injured list, the hurler posted a 3-2 record with a 4.11 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 51:26 K:BB across 50.1 innings (nine starts).

Royals' Kyle Isbel: Nearing rehab stint
Isbel (foot) participated in a full team workout Friday and could begin a rehab assignment next week, per MLB.com.
Isbel has been shelved since June 10 with a Grade 3 tear of a portion of his left plantar fascia. He had been aiming to begin a rehab assignment before the All-Star break, but soreness prevented those plans from materializing. The 29-year-old's participation in Friday's workout is a positive step, though how he feels afterward and whether he's able to avoid soreness will determine how soon he'll begin a minor-league rehab assignment and ultimately return to the active roster. In Isbel's absence, Lane Thomas has handled center-field duties.

Royals' Randy Dobnak: Starting Saturday
Dobnak will start Saturday's game against the Padres, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.
After firing 5.2 shutout innings as a bulk reliever during his final outing of the first half, Dobnak will now be rewarded with an opportunity to start a game for the big club. The 31-year-old righty figures to have a favorable matchup while making his first major-league start since 2021, as he'll be facing a Padres lineup that's posted an MLB-worst .673 OPS and has also scored the fewest runs (385) this season.

Erceg came into the game in the 10th with the game tied and allowed three runs to give San Diego a 6-3 lead before the Royals scored four unanswered runs in the bottom of the frame. In 39 games this season, the 31-year-old has posted a 5.21 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 27:21 K:BB through 38 innings.

Royals' Lane Thomas: Goes yard in win Friday
Thomas went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk while striking out once in Friday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Padres on Tuesday.
In his first at-bat, Thomas belted a solo home run to left field off Michael King, giving Kansas City a 1-0 lead at the time. This now marks back-to-back multi-hit games for the 30-year-old after going 3-for-4 with a double against Baltimore before the midseason break. On the campaign, Thomas has slugged .238/.339/.404 with eight homers and 32 RBI in 274 plate appearances.

Royals' Carter Jensen: Walks off San Diego
Jensen went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and a walk during the Royals' 7-6 extra-inning win over the Padres on Tuesday.
Jensen made his biggest contribution in the 10th with a game-winning two-run single that plated Michael Massey and Nick Loftin. After going hitless and recording a combined eight strikeouts in his previous four games before the midseason break, the rookie broke out of his short slump in a big way. On the season, the 22-year-old has slugged .242/.310/.430 with 13 homers and 51 RBI in 352 plate appearances.

Royals' Michael Massey: Records three hits in win
Massey went 3-for-5 with two RBI with one run scored while striking out once during the Royals' 7-6 extra-inning win over the Padres on Friday.
Massey gave Kansas City the lead with an RBI single that scored Vinnie Pasquantino in the eighth inning and plated Pasquantino in the 10th as well. The 28-year-old has now recorded at least one hit in seven of his last eight games played. On the season, Massey has slugged .267/.305/.427 with seven homers and 33 RBI in 251 plate appearances.

Royals' Alex Lange: Takes first blown save
Lange blew the save Friday, allowing one run on one hit in the ninth inning in Friday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Padres.
After being called upon to protect the 3-2 lead in the ninth inning, Lange retired the first two batters he faced before being taken deep by Ty France for the game-tying solo home run, resulting in his first blown save of the season. The 30-year-old has been very shaky in his last seven games for Kansas City, recording an 18.56 ERA, 2.25 WHIP and 2:3 K:BB in 5.1 innings. The Royals have had trouble closing games this season, with Lucas Erceg, Matt Strahm and Daniel Lynch all having multiple blown saves on the campaign.

Royals' Seth Lugo: Takes no-decision Friday
Lugo allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and two walks while striking out three over six innings a no-decision Friday against the Padres.
Lugo recorded six strong innings on 93 pitches but did not factor into the decision against San Diego. The two runs Lugo allowed crossed the plate on the same play due to a fielding error by Michael Massey, which allowed both Ty France and Miguel Andujar to score in the top of the fifth. After making his 20th start of the year, the 36-year-old Lugo now maintains a 4.39 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 89:36 K:BB through 110.2 innings this season. Lugo is in line to make his next start Wednesday against the Giants.

Royals' Stephen Kolek: Making rehab start Saturday
Kolek (personal) will make a rehab start Saturday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Kolek has been on the Family Medical Emergency List since early July. Saturday's rehab outing will likely be his only one, and he could return to the Royals for their next series against the Giants that starts Monday. Kolek went 4-3 across 10 starts in the first half of the regular season, posting a 4.50 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 34:12 K:BB across 54 innings.
