After taking two of three in Detroit over the past weekend, the Royals lost two of three to the Minnesota Twins in Minneapolis, both in walk-off style. Thursday was particularly bruta...11772Sat, 01 Aug 2026 15:00:33 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/royals-keep/royals-minor-league-report-730-wolters-shines-in-river-bandits-victory-r11723/  Blake Wolters turned in a quality start, and Quad Cities beat Dayton 8-4 for the system's only win of the night. Erick Torres and Jose Cerice each collected two hits. Ryan Ramsey allowed four runs in Omaha's 4-1 loss, though Scott Barlow followed with 2 2/3 hitless innings.

The club’s troubled relief corps too often fails the eye test, and its numbers tell a dreadful tale — through Tuesday, when closer Alex Lange’s blown save at Detroit became the Royals’ 20th...11722Fri, 31 Jul 2026 13:10:02 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/royals-keep/the-invisible-problem-behind-luinder-avilas-collapse-r11715/Luinder Avila still looks like a pitcher who should be difficult to hit. His four-seam fastball remains around 96 mph, his sinker still carries the life that made his arsenal so dangerous, and opposing hitters are still struggling to generate quality contact against him. And yet, the results hav...11715Fri, 31 Jul 2026 11:53:02 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/royals-keep/salvador-p%C3%A9rez-wants-to-stay-a-royal-r11701/The 2026 trade deadline is around the corner, and the Kansas City Royals are expected to be one of a few sellers offloading pieces. That should put them in an advantageous position, as the majority of squads in the league have enough incentives to be buyers.

One in particular has been Daniel Lynch IV, who has had a breakout year coming out of the pen. His season has resulted in him becoming a very i...11681Thu, 30 Jul 2026 13:10:03 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/royals-keep/gavin-cross-stands-to-benefit-the-most-from-the-trade-deadline-r11675/  There may not be a hotter hitter in Omaha, and maybe the International League in general, than outfielder Gavin Cross. The 9th overall pick in the 2022 MLB Draft by the Kansas City Royals, Cross has been on fire at the plate. Over the past 30 days, Cross is hitting .340 with a 1.063...11675Thu, 30 Jul 2026 11:44:02 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/royals-keep/royals-minor-league-report-729-fireflies-escape-9-8-but-royals-affiliates-drop-three-of-four-r11672/  Columbia turned an eight-run second inning, built on home runs from Yandel Ricardo, Sean Gamble, and JC Vanek, into a 9-8 escape at Augusta.

On Saturday, the crown was claimed by Salvador Perez when he launched the 318th home run of his career to become the franchise’s new home run leader.

The Kansas City Royals placed the slugging first baseman on the 10-day injured list with soreness in his right wrist and called up outfielder John Rave from Triple-A Omaha. Pasquantino had been back off the IL for a...11653Wed, 29 Jul 2026 21:22:57 +0000
