Carter Jensen - Climbs to Double-A The Royals promoted Jensen from High-A Quad Cities to Double-A Northwest Arkansas on Wednesday.
Impact The 21-year-old Jensen will be getting a promotion coming out of the All-Star break, as he'll make the jump to Double-A after slashing .271/.386/.435 with 10 home runs, 16 stolen bases and a 15.5 percent walk rate. Though questions remain about Jensen's ability to stick behind the plate long term, the Royals are continuing to develop him as a catcher, which would enhance his fantasy appeal if/when he reaches the big leagues.

Salvador Perez - Knocks homer in loss Perez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Red Sox.
Impact Perez heads into the All-Star break 11-for-31 (.355) with three homers and eight RBI during his active eight-game hitting streak. The catcher is up to 17 homers on the year, giving him a good chance of surpassing the 23 he hit in each of the last two campaigns. He's added 62 RBI, 38 runs scored, 16 doubles and a .282/.343/.477 slash line over 94 contests.

Adam Frazier - Homers in loss Sunday Frazier went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Red Sox.
Impact Frazier's homer was his first since June 8. He's gone 4-for-19 (.211) with three RBI over five games since he returned from a right thumb strain. The Royals have used him at second base, third base, right field and designated hitter over the last week, which makes it appear Frazier has supplanted Nick Loftin as the team's top utility man. Frazier is slashing .211/.292/.307 with three homers, two stolen bases, 13 RBI and 20 runs scored across 185 plate appearances this season.

Brady Singer - Pulled in the third Singer was saddled with the loss Sunday, allowing four runs on eight hits and a walk over 2.2 innings against the Red Sox. He struck out three.
Impact Singer couldn't quite put things together Sunday, allowing separate two-run homers in each of the first and second innings, then loaded the bases in the third prior to being pulled. It was the shortest outing of the season for Singer, who entered the contest having allowed only one earned run during each of his previous four starts. He enters the All-Star break ranked 10th in the majors with a 3.20 ERA to go along with a 1.23 WHIP and 99 strikeouts over 19 starts, spanning 104 innings.
