In Case You Missed It:
- Royals placed right-hander Michael Wacha on the 15-day injured list prior to Sunday's 4-3 walk-off win with a left foot fracture after being hit on that foot in the first inning of his start against the Padres on Friday night.
- Relief pitcher John McMillon, Kansas City's No. 17-ranked prospect was named to the Prospect Team of the Week as he was perfect in his last two games. He struck out five batters in 2 2/3 innings for Triple-A Omaha.
On This Day in Royals History:
- Kansas City has won on June 4 from 2021-23. Perhaps the most impressive victory of the bunch came in 2021 as the Royals took down the Minnesota Twins 14-5. The Royals couldn't have started the game any better as they scored nine runs in the first inning and tallied four more in the second frame.
