Impact Beaty was riding an 0-for-16 at the plate to earn a trip back to the minors. The Royals will announce a corresponding move prior to Friday's game Toronto.

SEPTEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sits against righty Beaty is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

Impact The lefty-hitting Beaty is on the bench for the third straight game, with two of those absences having come against right-handed starting pitchers. Beaty had a brief run as a strong-side platoon player at first base to close out August but the Royals appear to have instead opted for a committee approach to the position.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Idle versus lefty Beaty is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact The lefty-hitting Beaty will head to the bench Sunday with southpaw Chris Sale on the hill for Boston. While Beaty sits, the Royals will hand a start at first base to Matt Duffy in the series finale.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Steps out of lineup Beaty is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Beaty started the past five games but will take a seat Tuesday after he went 3-for-12 with two walks and two runs during that stretch. Salvador Perez will rest his legs at first base while Freddy Fermin steps in behind the plate.

AUGUST 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Garners fourth straight start Beaty will start at first base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Impact The lefty-hitting Beaty may continue to sit regularly versus left-handed pitching, but the Royals appear to be giving him a look in an everyday role at first base or designated hitter against righties. He'll start for the fourth game in a row after going 3-for-8 with a walk and two runs over the previous three contests.

AUGUST 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Playing time picks up Beaty will start at first base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

Impact Beaty will be rewarded with his fourth start in five games after recording a pair of base hits and scoring a run in Tuesday's 10-8 loss. With Nick Pratto (groin) still stuck on the injured list and with Edward Olivares having recently been optioned to Triple-A Omaha, the lefty-hitting Beaty could be in store for steady playing time versus right-handed pitching.

AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to bench role Beaty is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact Beaty had started each of the last three games at first base and went 3-for-13 with two doubles, two runs and one RBI in those contests, but his opportunities will likely become more limited moving forward after Salvador Perez (hand) returned from a one-game absence Tuesday. Perez is expected to see consistent playing time at first base for the foreseeable future to open up starts behind the plate for the hot-hitting Freddy Fermin.

AUGUST 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back from injured list Beaty (concussion) was reinstated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact Beaty landed on the shelf June 23 after suffering a concussion, and he'll rejoin the Royals on Tuesday after a six-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha. The 30-year-old has appeared in just seven big-league games this season and should fill a bench role now that he's healthy.

AUGUST 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

JUNE 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not in lineup Friday Beaty (undisclosed) is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Rays.

Impact Beaty will remain out of the lineup as he continues to nurse an undisclosed injury. It's unclear if, whether healthy or not, Beaty would even be in the starting lineup considering he's made one start with the Royals since being called up Sunday.

JUNE 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Held out Thursday Beaty (undisclosed) isn't in Kansas City's lineup Thursday against the Rays.

Impact Beaty collided with Samad Taylor on a bloop single off the bat of Spencer Torkelson and he was unable to continue. The Royals will likely provide an update on Beaty's status soon, but for now he should be considered day-to-day.

JUNE 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Brought up from Triple-A Kansas City selected Beaty's contract from Triple-A Omaha on Sunday.

Impact Beaty was signed to a minor-league contract by the Royals on Monday after he elected free agency instead of accepting an outright assignment from the Giants in June.

Latches on with Royals Beaty signed a minor-league contract with the Royals on Monday.

Impact He'll report to Triple-A Omaha, where he'll represent some depth at the corner infield and outfield spots. Beaty had been in the Giants organization, seeing a little action in the majors but spending most of the season at the Triple-A level.

JUNE 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Elects free agency Beaty cleared waivers and elected free agency Tuesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact After being designated for assignment by the Giants last week, Beaty went unclaimed on the waivers and will now look to sign elsewhere. The 30-year-old first baseman holds an .853 OPS in Triple-A this season, giving him a solid chance at landing with another team as organizational depth.

JUNE 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Removed from 40-man roster Beatty was designated for assignment by the Giants on Tuesday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Beaty is removed from the 40-man roster to create room on the 40-man roster for Luke Jackson. In 103 at-bats with Triple-A Sacramento, Beaty has hit .272 with four homers and an .853 OPS. If he goes unclaimed, Beaty will like remain in Triple-A as a depth piece.

MAY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A Beaty was optioned Tuesday to Triple-A Sacramento, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

APRIL 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from Triple-A Beaty was recalled Saturday from Triple-A Sacramento, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Beaty will provide some position player depth for the Giants after they lost Joc Pederson to right wrist inflammation. There's no apparent fantasy upside here.

APRIL 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Sacramento The Giants optioned Beaty to Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Beaty is sent down with Heliot Ramos receiving the promotion to the Giants in his place. As Pavlovic notes, the Giants could face five left-handers over the next week, and Ramos's right-handed bat serves more of a purpose than Beaty's left-handed swing at this point. The 29-year-old infielder will likely be up and down for the majority of the 2023 season.

MARCH 31, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Bound for open market Beaty declined his outright assignment to Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday and elected free agency.

Impact After recently losing his spot on the Padres' 40-man roster, Beaty likely didn't see a path to getting a look in the big leagues over the final few weeks and will instead opt to get a head start on finding a new home for the 2023 campaign. The 29-year-old struggled to make an impact at the big-league level in 2022, slashing .093/.170/.163 over 47 plate appearances with San Diego.
