Royals' Drew Waters: Demoted to Triple-A
The Royals optioned Waters to Triple-A Omaha on Friday.
Waters has been in a slump at the plate recently, going 1-for-19 since June 24. His struggles will ultimately cost him his place on the active roster and open up playing time in the outfield for Nick Loftin, John Rave and Mark Canha. Luke Maile was selected from Omaha to fill the open roster spot.

Royals' Drew Waters: Sitting after three straight starts
Waters is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.
Jac Caglianone and Kyle Isbel appear to be locked into near-everyday roles in right field and center field, respectively, but left field still looks to be more of a revolving door for Kansas City. Waters had been included in the lineup in the last three games and started in left field in the most recent two contests, but he'll give way to John Rave on Wednesday. Dating back to the start of June, Waters has slashed just .188/.250/.188 with one stolen base, four runs and one RBI over a stretch of 19 games.

Royals' Drew Waters: Taking seat Sunday
Waters is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
Waters is on the bench for the third time in four games and could be slipping out of a starting job after slashing .167/.219/.167 in 11 contests this month. Mark Canha will spell Waters in left field Sunday, but Nick Loftin -- who is filling in at second base for Jonathan India (shoulder) on Sunday -- could end up being the primary replacement for Waters.

Royals' Drew Waters: Set for increased time in RF
Waters started in right field and went 0-for-4 in Friday's 3-1 loss to Minnesota. He's expected to get the most playing time among a rotation in right field after Hunter Renfroe was designated for assignment, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Despite Friday's performance, Waters has emerged as one of the better options in Kansas City's underperforming outfield. He's hitting .271 with a .702 OPS. Nick Loftin, Mark Canha and Cavan Biggio could also figure into the mix in right field.

Royals' Drew Waters: Making sixth straight start
Waters will start in right field and bat eighth in Tuesday's game versus the Rockies.
It's the sixth straight start for Waters, who has played all three outfield positions during the stretch. The 26-year-old is just 4-for-18 at the plate over the previous five tilts, so he'll need to pick it up offensively if he hopes to continue seeing regular reps.
