He's made six starts in right field, as well as one apiece at first base and designated hitter. Caglianone appears ready for activation from the 10-day injured list, but the Royals haven't indicated when exactly that transaction will take place. The rookie has been shelved since late July with a strained left hamstring.

Royals' Jac Caglianone: Rehab assignment pending
Rotowire
Caglianone's (hamstring) recovery has been going well and he is on track to begin a rehab assignment next week, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reported Friday.
Caglianone has been tending to a strained left hamstring that has kept him on the sidelines since July 26. The rookie outfielder is getting close to starting a minor-league rehab assignment, which signals he could return in mid-August. He's slashing .147/.205/.280 with five homers in 161 plate appearances with the Royals.

Royals' Jac Caglianone: Hits and throws, not running yet
Rotowire
Caglianone resumed taking live at-bats last Thursday and has been throwing, but the Royals haven't cleared him for running as he works his way back from a left hamstring strain, MLB.com reports.
Caglianone hasn't experienced any setbacks in his recovery from the left hamstring strain that landed him on the injured list July 27, but until he's able to run the bases and change direction without an issue, his return to the Royals shouldn't be viewed as imminent. With Kansas City having acquired outfielders Randal Grichuk and Mike Yastrzemski since Caglianone sustained his injury, the rookie could be a candidate to handle more starts at designated hitter once he's activated from the IL if the Royals are keen are preserving his health.

Royals' Jac Caglianone: Lands on IL with hamstring strain
Rotowire
The Royals placed Caglianone on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to a left hamstring strain.
Caglianone was pulled after two innings in the first game of Saturday's twin bill versus Cleveland after hurting his hamstring while running to first base. He went 0-for-1 in the contest and is batting .190 (4-for-21) since the All-Star break. It's not yet clear how much time Caglianone will need to miss, but while he's out, Randal Grichuk -- whom Kansas City acquired in a trade with Arizona on Saturday -- could take most of the starts in right field.
Caglianone went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Pirates.
Caglianone hit a towering 466-foot home run in the fourth inning off Bailey Falter. The long ball was his fourth of the campaign and his second in as many days. The rookie's power has been undeniable, but he's struggled to get on base consistently. He's logged at least one hit in just three of his last 11 starts and has a substandard .491 OPS in 127 plate appearances.

Royals' Jac Caglianone: Tallies first steal
Rotowire
Caglianone went 0-for-3 with a hit-by-pitch, a steal and a run scored in Sunday's 4-0 victory at Arizona.
The Kansas City rookie notched his first career steal off Arizona starter Anthony DeSclafani in the fifth inning after reaching on a hit-by-pitch. Caglianone hadn't been much of a speed threat prior to joining the Royals, as he swiped only four bags across 79 minor-league games before his promotion. The 22-year-old has struggled mightily in his first taste of the big leagues with just two homers and a .148/.200/.241 slash line across 115 plate appearances.

Caglianone now has a .218/.232/.364 slash line through his first 14 big-league games.
