Kansas City Royals acquire outfielder Kameron Misner from Tampa Bay Rays

The Kansas City Royals have acquired outfielder Kameron Misner from the Tampa Bay Rays

Dealt to Royals for cash The Royals acquired Misner from the Rays on Monday in exchange for cash considerations.

Impact Misner had been designated for assignment by the Rays last week and is now on the move to a new organization. The Royals don't have much in terms of outfield depth, so it's possible Misner finds a decent amount of playing time in Kansas City. The 27-year-old is no sure bet himself, though, having put up a .585 OPS and 34.1 percent strikeout rate across 232 plate appearances at the big-league level.

Booted from 40-man roster The Rays designated Misner for assignment Thursday.

Impact Misner will hit waivers after a lackluster 2025 campaign. The outfielder, who turns 28 in January, slashed .213/.273/.345 with a 31.8 percent K rate across 217 big-league plate appearances, and he slashed .210/.333.442 at Triple-A. He should attract some interest on waivers.

Moves back to Triple-A The Rays optioned Misner to Triple-A Durham on Monday.

Impact The writing seemed to be on the wall for Misner's demotion, as the left-handed-hitting outfielder was slashing just .148/.212/.213 with a 37.6 percent strikeout rate since the beginning of May and had been on the bench for two of the Rays' last five matchups with right-handed pitchers. Misner has an intriguing fantasy profile due to his blend of power and speed, but his contact issues could make it difficult for him to stick as an everyday player in the big leagues. The Rays plan to recall Chandler Simpson from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday to replace Misner as a strong-side platoon outfielder.

On bench versus righty Misner is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Impact Misner typically starts against right-handed pitchers like Casey Mize, but he'll cede his spot in the outfield to Christopher Morel in the series finale. With a .167/.205/.262 slash line since the beginning of June, Misner is at risk of a demotion to Triple-A Durham.

With a .167/.205/.262 slash line since the beginning of June, Misner could soon be in danger of losing hold of his regular spot in the Tampa Bay lineup, and potentially at risk of a demotion to Triple-A Durham.

Slugs homer in win Misner went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.

Impact Misner got the scoring started Tuesday with a wall-scraper solo homer in the second inning. After a strong April, the 27-year-old has struggled significantly of late. Over his past 30 games, the outfielder is slashing just .151/.232/.233 with only three extra-base hits. Misner's defensive versatility is a plus, but he'll have to improve offensively to receive consistent playing time.

Despite the positive performance, Misner is hitting just .125 across 64 at-bats with three RBI and nine runs scored across 21 games in May. Positively, he does have five of his stolen bases in that span.
