Jensen went 2-for-3 with a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Saturday's 7-6 loss to the Rangers. The 22-year-old backstop got the Royals on the board in the top of the seventh inning with an RBI single before launching a two-run homer off Chris Martin in the following frame to give his team a 6-3 lead, but the bullpen couldn't make it stick. Jensen's long ball was his seventh of the season but his first since April 22, snapping a 29-game drought in which he'd slashed a meager .183/.271/.247 with six doubles and nine RBI.

Carter Jensen: Breaking News
Getting day off against lefty
Jensen is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox. After starting and going 1-for-3 with a double in Tuesday's 7-1 loss while southpaw Ranger Suarez took the bump for Boston, the left-handed-hitting Jensen will move to the bench for the series finale. Elias Diaz will fill in for Jensen behind the dish as the Red Sox send another southpaw (Connelly Early) to the bump.
Left out of starting nine
Jensen is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox. With southpaw Noah Schultz on the bump for Chicago, the Royals will stock up on some extra right-handed bats. Jensen will hit the bench along with fellow left-handed hitters Michael Massey, Kyle Isbel and Jac Caglianone.
