Live updates: Follow KC Royals at Minnesota Twins in important AL Central series
It’s been a busy week of roster news, and more moves could be around the corner.
The big news heading into Friday’s series opener between the Royals and Twins is that outfielder Hunter Renfroe has been designated for assignment. That means KC is moving on from a player making $7.6 million this year, and it could be signifying something else right around the corner.
How close is Jac Caglianone to Kansas City? He hit his first Triple-A home run Thursday night, and he’s certainly been turning heads in KC for a long while.
Now, let’s get to the action. You can follow live updates from each game in the Royals-Twins series here:
