Scratched from starting nine with sore ankle The Royals scratched Caglianone from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers due to ankle soreness.

Caglianone had returned to the lineup for both of the Royals' first two games versus Detroit and went a combined 1-for-8 with a double and a run scored. John Rave will get the nod in right field Sunday in place of Caglianone, who will be treated as day-to-day heading into the Royals' three-game series in Toronto that begins Tuesday.
