Royals' Kris Bubic: Another solid outing
Bubic didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against Pittsburgh, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks across 5.2 innings. He struck out six.
Bubic allowed fewer than four earned runs for a fifth consecutive start and fell one out short of his 12th quality start of the campaign. In his last five outings, Bubic owns a 4.03 ERA and a 31:8 K:BB across 29 innings. He will take a 2.48 ERA and a 113:34 K:BB across 108.2 innings into the All-Star break.

Royals' Carlos Estevez: Nabs 25th save
Estevez picked up the save Wednesday against the Pirates, allowing one hit and no walks with one strikeout over a scoreless ninth inning.
Estevez hit the 25-save milestone for a third consecutive season, and he became the third closer in MLB to reach the threshold in 2025. The 32-year-old's ERA is down to 2.03 across 40 innings, and he owns a 33:14 K:BB on the year.

Royals' Salvador Perez: Clubs pair of homers
Perez went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs during Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Pirates.
Perez notched his second multi-homer game of 2025, taking Bailey Falter yard in the fourth inning and tagging Isaac Mattson for a solo shot in the eighth. The 35-year-old catcher has now homered in three of his last four games, bringing his season total up to 13 round trippers. In July, Perez is 13-for-35 (.371) with 11 RBI.

Royals' Jac Caglianone: Hits monster homer
Caglianone went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Pirates.
Caglianone hit a towering 466-foot home run in the fourth inning off Bailey Falter. The long ball was his fourth of the campaign and his second in as many days. The rookie's power has been undeniable, but he's struggled to get on base consistently. He's logged at least one hit in just three of his last 11 starts and has a substandard .491 OPS in 127 plate appearances.

Royals' Kyle Isbel: Resting against lefty
Isbel is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.
The left-handed-hitting Isbel will take a seat for the series finale while the Pirates send left-hander Bailey Falter to the bump. Tyler Tolbert will pick up the start in center field in place of Isbel, who has gone 3-for-24 with two runs and two RBI through his first seven games of July.

Royals' Dallas Keuchel: Inks minor-league deal with Royals
The Royals signed Keuchel to a minor-league contract Wednesday.
Per Jeff Passan of ESPN.com, Keuchel held a workout for teams last week and touched 92 miles per hour with his fastball. He will be assigned to Triple-A Omaha and would make a prorated $2 million if called up by Kansas City. The 37-year-old Keuchel posted a 5.40 ERA in four starts for the Brewers last season before finishing the campaign pitching in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball with the Chiba Lotte Marines.

Royals' Hunter Harvey: Continuing mound work
Harvey (shoulder) resumed throwing off a mound at the end of June, MLB.com reports.
Working his way back from a right teres major strain, Harvey is continuing with his throwing progression at the Royals' spring training complex in Arizona. A rehab assignment would seem to be around the corner. Harvey has been shelved since mid-April.

Royals' Michael Massey: Nursing hairline fracture
Massey (ankle) has been diagnosed with a hairline fracture in his right wrist as a result of a hit-by-pitch during a June 29 rehab game at Triple-A Omaha, MLB.com reports.
Massey landed on the 10-day injured list in early June with a left ankle sprain but suffered a new injury during his fifth rehab contest. He is expected to resume swinging a bat in a few days and will continue a progression based on pain tolerance. Massey was slashing just .202/.221/.258 for the Royals before getting hurt last month.

Royals' Seth Lugo: Delivers quality start
Lugo did not factor in the decision during Tuesday's win over Pittsburgh. He allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out five over six-plus frames.
Both runs against Lugo came via solo home runs; Oneil Cruz went deep in the fourth inning, and Nick Gonzales popped a home run to begin the seventh, knocking Lugo out of the contest. Lugo threw 47 of 82 pitches for strikes Tuesday and generated just four whiffs. He is 3-0 with a 1.54 ERA over his last seven outings and hasn't given up more than two runs in an outing since May 30. Lugo will enter the All-Star break with a 2.67 ERA and an 88:31 K:BB through 101 innings.

Estevez (3-2) earned a win against Pittsburgh on Tuesday. He allowed a hit in a scoreless inning and did not record a strikeout.
Estevez worked around a one-out double by Ke'Bryan Hayes to keep the score 3-3 before the Royals walked it off in the bottom of the ninth inning. It was Estevez's first win since May 25, and he has thrown two shutout frames since allowing a run against Seattle on July 3. He dropped his ERA to 2.67 with a 32:14 K:BB across 39 frames.

Royals' Nick Loftin: Homers again Tuesday
Loftin went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Pirates.
Loftin snapped a 21-game homerless drought Monday before going deep again in the seventh inning of Tuesday's contest. He also drove in a run with his walk-off single in the ninth. Loftin went 8-for-56 (.143) during his home-run drought but has produced back-to-back multi-hit games, bringing his season slash line to .202/.244/.405 through 90 plate appearances. Loftin has now started in four consecutive games and could maintain a regular spot in the Kansas City lineup as long as he continues to wield a hot bat.

Royals' Cole Ragans: Transferred to 60-day IL
The Royals transferred Ragans (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
Ragans had been scheduled to resume a throwing program Monday, but it's going to take him a while to get built back up after he was shut down for nearly a month with a left rotator cuff strain. He is now not eligible to return until early August.

Royals' Cam Devanney: Contract selected
The Royals selected Devanney's contract from Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.
The 28-year-old will receive his first taste of the majors as Mark Canha (elbow) heads to the injured list. Devanney isn't likely to see regular playing time while up with Kansas City and should fill a utility role.

Royals' Mark Canha: Lands on IL with elbow injury
The Royals placed Canha on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with left elbow epicondylitis.
Epicondylitis is the formal diagnosis of "tennis elbow," and it's not clear how long the injury might sideline Canha. Cam Devanney has taken Canha's spot on the roster.

Perez went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and an RBI double during Monday's 9-3 win over the Pirates.
Perez homered for a second consecutive night, tagging Chase Shugart for a solo shot in the fifth inning. The veteran catcher has been crushing the baseball in July, going 9-for-28 (.321) with four doubles and a pair of long balls across seven games. Perez is slashing .238/.290/.406 on the year.

Loftin launched his second home run of the campaign, tagging Genesis Cabrera for a solo shot in the eighth inning. The long ball was Loftin's first since June 3. The 26-year-old has now logged at least one hit in back-to-back games after enduring a 1-for-35 (.029) slump. He's slashing .188/.233/.363 on the season.
