Overview

  • The Kansas City Royals have promoted outfielder John Rave from Triple-A Omaha to their 40-man roster to bolster their struggling offense.
  • Cavan Biggio, who was batting .174 with 1 home run and 4 RBIs in 37 games, was optioned to Triple-A Omaha to make room for Rave.
  • Rave has been a standout in Triple-A, hitting .301 with 9 home runs, 8 doubles, and 17 stolen bases in 44 games this season.
  • The Royals’ offense has scored the fewest runs in the American League, with just 179 runs this season, and has struggled to generate consistent production.
  • This is the second recent roster change aimed at improving the lineup, following the designation of Hunter Renfroe for assignment and the promotion of Nick Loftin.
