Availability
Royals outfielder Nick Loftin was scratched from Tuesday's Cactus League game due to general soreness.
Fantasy Impact
Royals skipper Matt Quatraro didn't disclose anything about Loftin's issue but said, "we should know more tomorrow." Loftin has had a good spring, hitting .318 with a pair of homers and a stolen bases across 26 plate appearances. However, with Lane Thomas and Starling Marte added this offseason, his playing time in the Royals outfield should be limited, as he could begin at Triple-A, given he has one option remaining.
The Royals signed OF Nick Loftin to a deal for the 2026 season.
Fantasy Impact
Loftin hit .208 with four home runs across 67 appearances last season with Kansas City. He'll continue to add depth in the outfield for the Royals.
The Kansas City Royals optioned Nick Loftin to Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
To make room for Michael Wacha (concussion) on the active roster, Loftin has been optioned to the minors. Loftin has gone 6-for-20 in September while serving as a bench option for the Royals. Wacha will start Tuesday's game against the Seattle Mariners.
Nick Loftin went 1-for-3 with a home run on Thursday against the Rangers.
Fantasy Impact
Loftin opened the scoring with a long ball in the second inning off Patrick Corbin. It was his fourth long ball on the season at the bottom of the Royals lineup.
The Royals activated Nick Loftin from the concussion injured list.
Fantasy Impact
Loftin returns after being sidelined the past week.
