Overview
- Jac Caglianone exited Kansas City’s game with Oakland on Wednesday after the Royals tweeted that he left with right ankle soreness.
- Earlier in the game he extended a 17-game on-base streak with a first-inning infield single and was hit near the rib by an Oakland pitch in the third inning but stayed in until the fifth.
- Pinch hitter John Rave replaced Caglianone in the fifth, and the Royals confirmed he was out of Thursday’s lineup as the club awaits medical evaluation.
- The severity and cause of the ankle soreness have not been revealed so reporters and team officials say further updates are expected.
- Caglianone has been one of Kansas City’s most productive hitters this month, so any absence could weaken the lineup and the Royals will monitor the situation for roster or lineup changes.
