Availability
Outfielder Kameron Misner will open the 2026 season in Triple-A Omaha as he has been optioned by the Kansas City Royals.
Fantasy Impact
Selected 35th overall by the Marlins in the 2021 MLB Draft, Misner appeared in 71 games for the Rays last season and batted .213 with five home runs and eight stolen bases. He was traded to Kansas City last November and, in his first spring with the Royals, went 6-for-26 with a home run. The recent signing of Starling Marte hurt Misner's chances of making the Royals' opening day roster, but he would be a call-up option should injuries arise in the Kansas City outfield.
The Royals acquired outfielder Kameron Misner from the Rays on Monday in exchange for cash considerations. Misner had been designated for assignment by Tampa Bay last week and will now get a fresh opportunity in Kansas City.
Fantasy Impact
Kansas City’s shallow outfield depth could allow Misner to earn some playing time, but he’ll need to make major strides at the plate to stay in the mix. The 27-year-old owns a .585 OPS and 34.1 percent strikeout rate over 232 career plate appearances, keeping him well off the fantasy radar for now.
The Tampa Bay Rays designated outfielder Kameron Misner for assignment on Thursday. The move places Misner, who turns 28 in January, on waivers following a lackluster 2025 campaign.
Fantasy Impact
Misner slashed just .213/.273/.345 across 217 big-league plate appearances in 2025, posting a 31.8 percent strikeout rate. He also slashed .210/.333/.442 at the Triple-A level. He is expected to attract some interest on waivers.
The Rays optioned OF Kameron Misner to Triple-A Durham.
Fantasy Impact
Misner's recent struggles continued after a strong start over the first month of the season. Chandler Simpson was brought back up as the corresponding move.
Kameron Misner went 1-for-4 in win over the Mets with one RBI, one run scored, and one stolen base.
Fantasy Impact
After today’s win, Misner is hitting .219 with 19 RBI and 26 runs scored across 63 games this season. He has added eight steals in nine attempts this season.
