Taking seat Sunday

Analyse
Caglianone will begin the game on the bench for the third time in the past five contests despite right-hander Andre Pallante being on the mound for the Cardinals. Caglianone has been fairly productive in May, batting .239 with three homers over 46 at-bats. Lane Thomas is starting in right field for the Royals on Sunday.

Goes yard in loss
Caglianone went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Cardinals.
Analyse
With his team trailing by three runs, Caglianone opened the ninth inning with a monstrous 428-foot solo homer to cut into the deficit, though no further rally ensued as the Royals' losing streak stretched to six games. The 23-year-old possesses immense raw power but hasn't consistently translated it into extra-base production early in his big-league career. That said, the numbers in 2026 are a noticeable improvement from the .532 OPS he posted across 62 games in 2025. This season, Caglianone is slashing .246/.318/.425 with five homers, seven doubles, a triple, nine RBI and 18 runs across 42 contests.

Hitting bench versus lefty
Caglianone is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.
Analyse
With southpaw Noah Schultz on the bump for Chicago, the Royals will stock up on some extra right-handed bats. Caglianone will hit the bench along with fellow left-handed hitters Michael Massey, Kyle Isbel and Carter Jensen.
