Jac Caglianone Leaves Game with Hamstring Tightness
Jac Caglianone exited the team's game against the Cleveland Guardians on Saturday with tightness in his left hamstring. Caglianone came out after grounding into a second-inning double play in his lone at-bat. The Royals replaced him in right field with John Rave and brought MJ Melendez off the bench to handle left. The severity of Caglianone's injury is unknown, but it's another unfortunate development in what has been a rocky start in the majors. The sixth overall pick in last year's draft, Caglianone debuted on June 3 and has hit an ugly .147/.205/.280 with five home runs and 10 RBI in his first 161 plate appearances in the bigs. The good news is that Caglianone's .330 xwOBA far outpaces his .217 wOBA, which suggests he's in line for positive regression. For now, the hope is that he'll avoid a stint on the 10-day injured list.
