Caglianone is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
The Royals will withhold Caglianone from the lineup for the second straight day to close out the regular season, with John Rave getting another start in the outfield. Though the 22-year-old Caglianone is still viewed as a major part of the Royals' long-term future, he's had a tough go in his first taste of the big leagues, slashing just .158/.238/.297 in 231 plate appearances since being promoted from Triple-A Omaha in June.

Rotowire
Caglianone is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.
Caglianone went 2-for-5 with two runs scored in Saturday's contest to end an 0-for-10 stretch, but he'll head to the bench for Sunday's series finale. Mike Yastrzemski is starting in right field while Salvador Perez receives a turn at designated hitter.

The Royals reinstated Caglianone (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Monday.
Caglianone had been on the shelf since July 26, but he appears to have been fully recovered from his left hamstring strain for quite some time. The rookie wrapped up an uncommonly long rehab assignment at Triple-A Omaha over the weekend, with Caglianone proving his health by slashing .385/.467/.692 with five home runs in 16 games. Caglianone hit for limited power in the big leagues (.133 ISO in 161 plate appearances) prior to landing on the IL, but the Royals are hoping that the extra time in the minors to regain confidence at the plate will set the 22-year-old up for a big finish to the season. He should settle back into an everyday role for the Royals while moving between the corner-outfield spots and designated hitter.

Royals' Jac Caglianone: Set for activation Tuesday
Rotowire
The Royals are expected to reinstate Caglianone (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's series opener versus the Angels.
Caglianone landed on the injured list July 26 due to the strained left hamstring, but he began a minor-league rehab assignment Aug. 12 and has thrived during his time at Triple-A Omaha. Through 16 rehab appearances with the affiliate, he's posted a .385/.467/.692 slash line with five home runs, 16 RBI, 17 runs and one stolen base. Caglianone will likely play on an everyday basis at designated hitter or in the corner outfield upon rejoining the Royals, which could put the likes of Jonathan India, Michael Massey and Adam Frazier at risk of losing out on some starts.
