Royals' Hunter Renfroe: Hitting bench Wednesday
Renfroe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.
The veteran outfielder will get a breather for the day game after he had started in right field in each of the Royals' last three contests. Renfroe has mustered a lowly .518 OPS over 144 plate appearances on the season, but he's shown some signs of life of late by going 6-for-24 with a home run and 3:3 BB:K over his last seven games.

Royals' Hunter Renfroe: Pops fourth homer
Renfroe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Tigers.
Renfroe has gone 6-for-24 (.250) with five RBI over his last seven contests. While that's still modest hitting, it's a vast improvement on his .160 batting average for the season. Despite the middling results at the plate, Renfroe has started six of the last eight games in right field and appears to have fended off challenges for playing time from Dairon Blanco and Adam Frazier that popped up earlier in May. Renfroe has four homers, 18 RBI, 15 runs scored, four doubles, no stolen bases and a .518 OPS over 144 plate appearances.

Royals' Hunter Renfroe: Homers in Friday's win
Renfroe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 7-1 win over the Rangers.
Renfroe has struggled to get his bat going -- he's 3-for-27 (.111) over his last 10 games. The outfielder has started to lose playing time to Adam Frazier, who was squeezed out of a full-time role at second base when Michael Massey returned from a back injury. Renfroe is slashing a poor .155/.228/.298 with three homers, 11 RBI, eight runs scored and three doubles over 92 plate appearances, so he'll need to put together better performances to continue playing regularly.

Royals' Hunter Renfroe: Back on bench Wednesday
Renfroe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.
Renfroe looked to be on the outs for an everyday role when he was held out of the lineup for consecutive games last Thursday and Friday, but he started in each of the past four games. However, Renfroe went just 1-for-12 with two walks in those contests, and he now finds himself back on the bench while his season-long slash line now sits at .150/.218/.263. Adam Frazier will get the nod in right field Wednesday, and manager Matt Quartaro could be inclined to lean on a timeshare between Frazier and Renfroe at that spot in the lineup until one player starts to heat up at the plate.

Royals' Hunter Renfroe: Sitting again Friday
Renfroe is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers.
Renfoe isn't starting for the second straight game and for the third time in Kansas City's past four contests. The 32-year-old has a .149/.208/.284 slash line in 72 plate appearances and appears to be losing his grip on an everyday role. Adam Frazier will receive a start in right field Friday.

Royals' Hunter Renfroe: Moves to bench Thursday
Renfroe is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Blue Jays.
Renfroe will sit for the second time in three days while Kansas City opens up room in the outfield for Adam Frazier, who will occupy left field while MJ Melendez shifts over to right. Through 72 plate appearances this season, Renfroe is slashing just .149/.208/.284 with two home runs and 10 RBI. He could be in danger of fading into a part-time role in the Kansas City outfield.

Royals' Hunter Renfroe: Smacks homer Wednesday
Renfroe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a 4-2 win over the White Sox in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader.
Renfroe went 0-for-3 with one RBI in the nightcap as well. The veteran outfielder is still holding onto a starting role in right field, but he's struggling at the plate in 2024. Renfroe is batting .176 with two homers, eight RBI, six runs scored and two doubles over 56 plate appearances. Nelson Velazquez has occasionally moved from designated hitter to right when Renfroe rests, and Adam Frazier could be an option there as well once Michael Massey (back) is activated from the injured list.

Royals' Hunter Renfroe: Finds power in win
Renfroe went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Sunday's win over the White Sox.
Renfroe got the scoring going for the Royals with a fifth-inning home run off Garrett Crochet but was otherwise held quiet. He's now recorded a hit in four straight games but Sunday's blast were his first two RBI and his first hit for extra bases as he's gotten off to a very slow start to the year.

Royals' Hunter Renfroe: Making spring debut
Renfroe (back) is batting fifth as the designated hitter in Friday's spring game against the Athletics.
The veteran slugger has been held out of spring games thus far due to lower-back tightness, but he'll join the lineup for Friday's contest. Renfroe struggled to a .713 OPS last season after topping .800 the previous two seasons, and he'll be a key lineup piece for the Royals after signing a two-year, $13 million deal.
