Steven Cruz - Shifts to restricted list The Royals transferred Cruz (personal) from the paternity list to the restricted list Sunday.

Impact After going on paternity leave Thursday, Cruz spent the maximum three days on the list. Rather than having Cruz return for the season finale Sunday versus the Guardians, the Royals instead shifted him to the restricted list, which opened up a spot on the 40-man roster for James McArthur (elbow), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list. Cruz finished the 2026 season with a 4.30 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 65:20 K:BB in 58.2 innings and will likely be added back to the 40-man roster this offseason.

Jac Caglianone - Finishes campaign strong Caglianone went 2-for-4 with a double in Sunday's win over the Guardians.

Impact Caglianone didn't drive in a run or score, but he did record his sixth multi-hit effort over his past seven games, going 14-for-28 (.500) during that stretch. The 23-year-old broke out in a big way in 2026, shaking off a disappointing rookie campaign in 2025 to live up to his lofty prospect pedigree. On the year, Caglianone will finish with a .289/.340/.494 slash line, 23 homers, 75 RBI, 72 runs and seven stolen bases in 143 contests.
