Jac Caglianone Getting a Day Off Against Mariners
Jac Caglianone will start Thursday's game against the hosting Seattle Mariners on the bench. John Rave draws into the starting lineup and will bat sixth for the Royals against Mariners right-hander Bryan Woo. Caglianone has elite power from the left side as one of the best power-hitting prospects in the game, but so far he hasn't been able to figure out big-league pitching, going 14-for-97 (.144) with two home runs, three doubles, four RBI, four runs and a 24:5 K:BB in 103 trips to the plate in 26 games played. The 22-year-old former sixth overall pick last year out of Florida crushed minor-league pitching to the tune of a .322/.389/.593 slash line with 15 homers an 56 RBI in 50 games with Double-A Northwest Arkansas and Triple-A Omaha. Perhaps Cags can get settled in after the All-Star break in his first year in the Show.
