On the season, he's slashing .279/.332/.485 with 23 homers, 71 RBI, 68 runs scored and seven steals across 527 plate appearances.

Back in action Saturday Caglianone (hand) will serve as the designated hitter and bat third Saturday against the Pirates.

Impact Caglianone sat out Friday's contest due to a hand injury he suffered before the game, but he appears to be feeling well enough to work as the designated hitter Saturday. The 23-year-old has been stuck in a cold spell this month, logging just four hits in September and none in his last five games.

Nursing hand injury Caglianone is not in Friday's starting lineup against the Pirates due to a hand injury, Joel Goldberg of Royals.tv reports.

Impact Royals manager Matt Quatraro told reporters Friday that Caglianone's hand injury took place during a practice at-bat. The 23-year-old outfielder can be considered day-to-day for now and could be back in the lineup for Saturday's contest. Nick Loftin will start in right field due to Caglianone's absence.

SEPTEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Not in lineup Friday Caglianone is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Since returning to the lineup last weekend after missing six games with a left elbow flexor strain, Caglianone is 0-for-10 at the plate. It's possible he's not close to 100 percent. Nick Loftin is making a rare start in right field for Kansas City.

Out of lineup Wednesday Caglianone is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

Impact A left elbow flexor strain recently cost Caglianone six consecutive starts. He returned to the Kansas City lineup Sunday and has since gone 0-for-6 with five strikeouts. While his absence Wednesday has not been tied directly to the elbow issue, he may very well be dealing with some lingering effects from the injury.

Rejoining lineup Sunday Caglianone (elbow) is batting third as the designated hitter Sunday against the Red Sox.

Impact The 23-year-old was held out of the starting nine the past six games due to flexor strain, but he'll return to the lineup Sunday after making a pinch-hit appearance in Saturday's contest. Caglianone is off to a slow start to September, going 4-for-18 with two doubles, four RBI and two runs through six games.

SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Appears off bench Saturday Caglianone (elbow) came off the bench and went 0-for-1 in Saturday's 5-1 loss against the Red Sox.

Impact Caglianone pinch hit for Kyle Isbel in the eighth inning, striking out on four pitches before Josh Rojas replaced him defensively. Saturday marked Caglianone's first game action since Sept. 5, as he's dealing with a left flexor strain. Seeing the 23-year-old get an at-bat is a positive sign, but it remains to be seen if he'll be penciled into Sunday's lineup or be able to play defensively. On the year, Caglianone is hitting .282/.331/.493 with 23 homers, 70 RBI, 66 runs and six stolen bases in 132 contests.

SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Saturday Caglianone (elbow) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Boston.

SEPTEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Friday Caglianone (elbow) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game in Boston.

Impact It will be the fifth straight game Caglianone has missed as he deals with a left flexor strain. The Royals have considered him day-to-day, but it's unclear when he will be ready to return to action. John Rave will get another start in right field Friday.

Held out again Wednesday Caglianone (elbow) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Diamondbacks.

Impact It marks the fourth consecutive start Caglianone has missed as he recovers from a left flexor strain. The Royals are idle Thursday, so Caglianone will aim to return to the lineup Friday in Boston. John Rave is covering right field for Kansas City on Wednesday.

SEPTEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Tuesday Caglianone (elbow) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Caglianone will be absent from the lineup for the third straight contest as he recovers from a left flexor strain. The Royals conclude their series with the Diamondbacks on Wednesday before they're idle Thursday, so it wouldn't be a surprise if Caglianone remains out of commission until his club begins a road trip Friday. Matthew Lugo will patrol right field for Kansas City on Tuesday.
