Optioned to Triple-A The Royals optioned Misner to Triple-A Omaha on Friday.

Impact Misner is the odd man out on the 26-man roster with Vinnie Pasquantino (hand) back from the injured list Friday. Misner has appeared in 18 games for the Royals this season, slashing .220/.256/.244 with one double, four RBI, two runs scored, three stolen bases and a 2:17 BB:K across 44 trips to the dish.

Mullins' 2-run homer, Seymour's sharp outing lift Rays to 8th straight win, 5-2 over Royals

Cedric Mullins hit a two-run homer and Ian Seymour was sharp on the mound as the Rays beat the Royals 5-2 on Thursday

JULY 3 • Associated Press

Passed over for start vs. RHP Misner is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.

Impact The left-handed-hitting Misner will be on the bench for the third time in the Royals' last four matchups with right-handed starting pitchers. Since being called up from Triple-A Omaha on June 10, Misner has held his own at the plate with a .350/.381/.350 slash line over 22 plate appearances, but it hasn't been enough for him to gain a foothold in the everyday lineup. The Royals seem to be prioritizing Lane Thomas and John Rave over Misner in the outfield in the wake of Kyle Isbel (foot) and Vinnie Pasquantino (hand) recently landing on the injured list.

JUNE 22 • ROTOWIRE

Taking seat Wednesday Misner is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Impact Since being called up from Triple-A Omaha a week ago, Misner has drawn starts in five of the Royals' ensuing eight games, going 6-for-16 with a walk, a stolen base and three RBI. Though he'll head to the bench Wednesday, the Royals should be able to make regular room in the outfield for both Misner and Lane Thomas while Kyle Isbel (foot) and Vinnie Pasquantino (hand) are on the injured list.

JUNE 17 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting against southpaw Misner is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.

Impact Though he'll head to the bench for the series opener in Washington while the left-handed Andrew Alvarez toes the rubber for the Nationals, Misner should be in line for an extended look as a strong-side platoon player while Kyle Isbel (foot) and Vinnie Pasquantino (hand) are on the shelf. Misner started in each of the last four games while the Royals faced right-handed pitchers, going 6-for-12 with a walk, a stolen base and three RBI over those contests.

JUNE 15 • ROTOWIRE

Getting regular run in center Misner will start in center field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Astros.

Impact Misner will draw a fourth straight start after going 4-for-9 with a walk and three RBI over the prior three contests. The 28-year-old looks poised to handle an everyday role in center field for Kansas City while Kyle Isbel (foot) is on the shelf.

JUNE 10 • MLB.COM

Getting chance with Royals The Royals recalled Misner from Triple-A Omaha on Wednesday.

Impact He's taking over the roster spot vacated by the injured Kyle Isbel (foot). Misner has spent all of the season at Omaha, slashing .276/.373/.547 with 13 home runs and 11 stolen bases. He could see some playing time in center field while Isbel is shelved.

Will start season in Triple-A Kansas City optioned Misner to Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

Impact Misner was traded from the Rays to the Royals in November. The speedy outfielder stole 22 bases in 30 attempts with Tampa Bay last season but posted a poor .618 OPS and 31.8 percent strikeout rate. Misner has intriguing speed and power, but his struggles making contact could be an obstacle to him spending much time in the majors.

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

NOVEMBER 10, 2025 • Associated Press

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.

NOVEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

JUNE 23, 2025 • MLB.COM

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.

JUNE 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact The left-handed-hitting Misner typically starts against right-handed pitchers like the Tigers' Casey Mize, but Misner will 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 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.

Knocks in two Misner went 2-for-5 with two RBI on Friday against the Tigers.

Impact Misner has gone through a tough stretch at the plate, tallying only 11 hits across his last 27 games and 67 at-bats. However, he delivered Friday with a pair of RBI singles -- one of which came on a bunt. Despite his slump, Misner has started 13 of 18 games in June thanks to his defensive work in the outfield.
