Freddy Fermin - Getting rest Tuesday Fermin is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.
Impact After starting six straight games -- four at DH, two at catcher -- Fermin will have the night off Tuesday. The 29-year-old is slashing .304/.352/.429 with a 18.4 percent strikeout rate in 245 plate appearances.

Paul DeJong - On bench again DeJong is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.
Impact DeJong started at third base in four of the Royals' first five games after being traded from the White Sox, but he's now been withheld from the starting lineup for back-to-back contests. Maikel Garcia will play the hot corner while Michael Massey plays the keystone.

Freddy Fermin - Logs first career steal Fermin went 1-for-4 with one RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 9-5 loss to the Red Sox.
Impact Fermin tied the game at 2-2 with an RBI single in the fourth inning and then logged the first steal of his big-league career. This was his 146th career game, so it's unlikely he becomes a sudden speed threat. He has been hitting well lately, going 17-for-49 (.347) with two home runs, eight RBI and four runs scored over 14 contests since the All-Star break. That has earned him a more regular place in the lineup between catcher and designated hitter. Fermin is at a .304/.352/.429 slash line with six homers, 30 RBI, 10 doubles and 30 runs scored over 245 plate appearances this season, numbers nearly identical to what he posted over 70 games and 235 plate appearances in 2023.

Vinnie Pasquantino - Slugs another homer Pasquantino went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Red Sox on Monday.
Impact Pasquantino struck out in two of his first three at-bats but ended his performance on a positive note with a solo shot in the eighth inning. It was the first baseman's fifth homer over his past six contests, and he's added 11 RBI during that span. Prior to the power surge, Pasquantino had gone 17 games without a long ball.

Brady Singer - Stung by singles in defeat Singer (8-7) took the loss against Boston on Monday, allowing four runs on 10 hits and one walk while striking out six batters over 5.2 innings.
Impact Singer wasn't exactly hit hard in the outing -- nine of the 10 knocks against him were singles -- but he didn't retire the side in order in any of the frames in which he pitched. The right-hander still managed to depart with two outs in the sixth inning having given up just two runs, but reliever Angel Zerpa subsequently allowed both of the runners he inherited from Singer to score. As a result, Singer took his first loss of the second half. Coming into Monday, he had tallied three straight wins while tossing a seven-inning quality start in each of those victories.

John Schreiber - Sheds brace Schreiber (knee) threw Monday for the first time without wearing a brace, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Impact Schreiber was placed on the 15-day injured list July 29 with a right knee patella tendon injury, and Monday's update was the first since he hit the IL. While he's been progressing well, a return from the injured list doesn't seem imminent considering he hasn't started mound work.
AUGUST 5 • ROTOWIRE
Dan Altavilla - Embarking on rehab assignment The Royals announced that Altivilla (oblique) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.
Impact Altavilla hasn't pitched since June 20 after suffering a strained right oblique and will begin a rehab stint Tuesday. However, he won't be eligible to return from the injured list until August 19, so his stay at Omaha will last multiple weeks. The right-hander allowed six runs in 3.2 big-league innings this season.
AUGUST 5 • ROTOWIRE
Garrett Hampson - Getting another start vs. lefty Hampson will start in left field and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Red Sox.
Impact Hampson will stay in the starting nine for the fourth time in five games, but the Royals have faced left-handed starters or primary pitchers in each of the past three contests. The speedy utility man still looks to be stuck in a short-side platoon role.
AUGUST 5 • ROTOWIRE
Freddy Fermin - Drawing sixth straight start Fermin will start at designated hitter and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Red Sox.
Impact Fermin has now stuck in the lineup for six straight contests, with the Royals facing three left-handed and three right-handed starters during that stretch. Though his playing time against southpaws looks to be more secure, Fermin has earned the extra opportunities versus righties by slashing .284/.319/.426 while producing a 104 wRC+ in those matchups.
AUGUST 5 • ROTOWIRE
MJ Melendez - Idle against LHP Melendez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against Boston.
Impact With the Royals facing a left-hander for a second consecutive day, Melendez will take a seat on the bench once again Monday. Garrett Hampson, Kyle Isbel and Hunter Renfroe fill the outfield from left to right.
