Overview
- Kansas City optioned outfielder Dairon Blanco to Triple-A Omaha to clear a roster spot for Caglianone’s promotion.
- Caglianone will slot into a corner outfield spot to address a group that entered play with a .330 slugging percentage and only seven homers.
- He hit .322/.389/.593 with 15 home runs and 56 RBIs in 50 games between Double-A Northwest Arkansas and Triple-A Omaha.
- Caglianone is set to debut Tuesday at Busch Stadium as the Royals seek to boost an offense that has totaled 194 runs through 60 games.
- The 6-foot-5 slugger is known for elite exit velocities and improved plate discipline, bringing 70-grade raw power to Kansas City less than a year after being drafted.
