Jac Caglianone Tallies Another Three Hits on Wednesday

Kansas City Royals first base prospect Jac Caglianone went 3-for-4 with a double on Wednesday for Triple-A Omaha, although with his recent obliteration of Triple-A pitching, Tuesday's 0-for-5 is potentially more noteworthy at this point.

Memorial Day has come and gone. We are at the part of the MLB season when flukes are no longer flukes, and slumps are not just considered short-term things.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) is doing baseball activities and is close to going on a minor-league rehab assignment, according to MASN's Roch Kubatko.
