Nicholas Loftin: Breaking News

Loftin went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's win over the Reds. Loftin provided some insurance with a line-drive, two-run shot in the top of the ninth inning to extend the Royals' lead to 5-2. It marked his first homer of the campaign and sixth career long ball across parts of four MLB seasons. The utility man is hitting just .218 and has primarily operated in a reserve role with 96 plate appearances to date, but Loftin could be in line for increased opportunities at third base if Maikel Garcia (hamstring) requires a stint on the injured list.

Loftin will start at third base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Angels. Though the Royals haven't yet deactivated Maikel Garcia while they await the results of the test performed on the hamstring injury that forced him out of Saturday's 7-6 loss, he appears to be trending toward a stint on the injured list. If that's the case, Loftin will likely stand to be the primary beneficiary from a playing-time standpoint. Loftin has walked (eight times) nearly as often as he's struck out (nine times) this season, but he's a .219 career hitter in the big leagues and has recorded just five home runs and four stolen bases over 168 games with Kansas City across the past four seasons.

Loftin went 2-for-4 with four RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Saturday's win over the Angels. Loftin recorded his first RBI of the game on a single that scored Jac Caglianone in the bottom of the second inning, and he plated another run with a bases-loaded walk in the third. He would add two more RBI on a fielder's choice following a throwing error from Zach Neto in the seventh, giving the Royals a transitory 8-1 lead. Loftin continues to have a utility role for the Royals, but he has recorded seven RBI over his last four appearances. He doesn't contribute much in other areas, however, and his limited playing time also conspires against his fantasy upside.
