Top Carter Jensen News

  • Royals' Carter Jensen: Getting day off against lefty

    Jensen is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

    After starting and going 1-for-3 with a double in Tuesday's 7-1 loss while southpaw Ranger Suarez took the bump for Boston, the left-handed-hitting Jensen will move to the bench for the series finale. Elias Diaz will fill in for Jensen behind the dish as the Red Sox send another southpaw (Connelly Early) to the bump.

  • Royals' Carter Jensen: Left out of starting nine

    Jensen is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

  • Royals' Carter Jensen: Not in Kansas City lineup

  • Royals' Carter Jensen: On bench Tuesday

    Jensen is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Athletics.

    Jensen had started the last six games for the Royals since he last sat April 19. In that span, he went 8-for-23 with a double, a home run and four RBI. As he rests Tuesday, Salvador Perez will start behind the plate while Isaac Collins serves as the designated hitter.

  • Royals' Carter Jensen: Drives sixth homer Wednesday

    Jensen went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional RBI, an additional run scored and a walk in Wednesday's loss to the Orioles.

    Jensen connected on his sixth homer of the season in the sixth inning, extending his team lead in that category. In his first full major-league season, the 22-year-old has lived up to the hype so far, slashing .275/.354/.565 with six homers, two doubles, 14 RBI and 11 runs through 23 appearances.

  • Royals' Kyle Isbel: Idle Sunday

    Isbel is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

    The Royals will stock up some extra right-handed bats to counter Yankees southpaw Ryan Weathers, so Isbel will hit the bench along with fellow left-handed hitters Carter Jensen and Jac Caglianone. Isbel had started each of the last four games but went 1-for-10 at the dish, bringing his season average down to .265.

  • Royals' Elias Diaz: Moves up to majors

    The Royals selected Diaz's contract from Triple-A Omaha on Sunday.

    The 34-year-old posted a mediocre .536 OPS over 35 plate appearances at Omaha, but he'll join the big club nonetheless to provide Kansas City with a third option behind the plate. With Carter Jensen receiving an afternoon off and Salvador Perez serving as the designated hitter in Sunday's game against the Yankees, Diaz will enter the starting nine right away at catcher and as the No. 9 hitter.

  • Royals' Carter Jensen: Receiving rest Sunday

    Jensen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

    After starting eight straight games at either catcher or designated hitter and going 7-for-27 (.259) with two home runs, six RBI and three runs, Jensen will get a breather. Salvador Perez will return to the lineup Sunday as Kansas City's DH, while newly promoted Elias Diaz makes his first start for the Royals behind the plate.
