MJ Melendez - Lifted with ankle sprain Melendez was removed in the top of the fourth inning of Sunday's game against the Red Sox due to a left ankle sprain.
Impact Melendez went hitless with an RBI in two at-bats on the afternoon and appeared to suffer the injury while he was running out a groundball. Though he reached base on a fielder's choice, Melendez was immediately lifted for a pinch runner. The severity of the ankle sprain isn't known, but Melendez could be sent in for an MRI over the All-Star break if the Royals fear that the injury is more than a minor concern.

Adam Frazier - Getting run out of leadoff spot Frazier will start at third base and bat leadoff in Sunday's game in Boston.
Impact Though he'll stick in the lineup for the fifth time in six games as the Royals' leadoff man, Frazier doesn't yet look to be a fixture in the Kansas City starting nine. He's turned in a .235 on-base percentage in his previous four turns atop the lineup, and he's also made starts at four different positions (third base, second base, right field and designated hitter) during that stretch. Instead, Frazier's inclusion in the lineup appears to be a means of Royals manager Matt Quatraro giving rest days to regulars such as Maikel Garcia, who will take a seat Sunday in the series finale.

Maikel Garcia - Hitting bench Sunday Garcia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
Impact After starting in six of the Royals' last seven contests, Garcia will get a breather Sunday in the club's final game before the All-Star break. Utility man Adam Frazier will enter the lineup in Garcia's stead, occupying third base and batting leadoff.

Seth Lugo - Uncharacteristically ineffective Lugo (11-4) took the loss against Boston on Saturday, allowing five runs on 10 hits and one walk while striking out six batters over five innings.
Impact It's been a great first half overall for Lugo, who was recently named an All-Star for the first time in his career. However, the veteran hurler didn't have his best stuff Saturday, as he yielded a season-high 10 hits, while the five runs tied a campaign-worst mark. Lugo will still enter the break with a 2.48 ERA (fourth-best among qualified pitchers) and 11 wins (tied for second-most in the majors) along with a solid 1.09 WHIP and 116:30 K:BB over 127.0 innings.

Hunter Harvey - Dealt to Kansas City The Nationals traded Harvey to the Royals on Saturday in exchange for minor-league infielder Cayden Wallace.
Impact Harvey was excellent to start the 2024 season, recording a 2.15 ERA and 34 strikeouts across 29.1 innings before June, but has struggled since. He's surrendered a run in seven of 16 appearances since June 1, falling to a 8.04 ERA during that stretch. The 29-year-old has 26 holds this season and should settle into a low-leverage role with Kansas City.
JULY 14 • ROTOWIRE
Nick Anderson - DFA'd by Royals The Royals designated Anderson for assignment Saturday.
Impact Anderson will be moved off the 26-man and 40-man roster to free up space for Hunter Harvey, who the Royals acquired via trade Saturday from the Nationals. Anderson logged a 4.15 ERA across 34.2 innings with Kansas City this season, including three wins, a save and two holds. The 33-year-old could warrant interest on waivers.
