Noah Cameron - Tallies nine punchouts in loss Cameron (5-7) took the loss against Baltimore on Sunday, allowing five runs on five hits and two walks while striking out nine batters over seven innings.

Impact Cameron allowed a modest seven baserunners in his seven frames, but three of those rounded the infield on home runs. It was the second time this year that the left-hander has served up three homers in a game, but on a more positive note, he also struck out a season-high nine batters. Cameron has improved his strikeout rate over his rookie campaign, but he's otherwise had a shaky first half, posting a 4.89 ERA and 1.42 WHIP over 95.2 innings spanning 18 starts.

Jack Slightom - Goes in second round The Royals selected Slightom with the No. 56 overall pick in the 2026 First-Year Player Draft.

Impact A prep righty from Illinois, Slightom has a very projectable 6-foot-5, 215-pound frame. He played a lot of quarterback in high school and can already touch 98 mph. Slightom shows aptitude for a slider and changeup and is a nice developmental ball of clay for Kansas City.

Taylor Rabe - Lands with Royals at pick No. 30 The Royals selected Rabe with the No. 30 overall pick in the 2026 First-Year Player Draft.

Impact A 6-foot-5 right-hander out of Mississippi, Rabe emerged as one of the hottest college arms in 2026 after not pitching much last year in his return from Tommy John surgery. Now healthy, Rabe can dial up his fastball as high as 100 mph, while his cutter and slider have also shown promise. He repeats his delivery and struck out seven batters for every one he walked this spring.

Vinnie Pasquantino - Back in action Saturday Pasquantino (hand) will start at first base and bat fifth Saturday against the Orioles.

Impact Pasquantino was activated from the injured list Friday after spending nearly a month on the shelf with a hamate fracture, but Saturday will mark his return to the starting nine. The 28-year-old was slashing .298/.365/.426 across his last 12 games before getting injured, and he went 4-for-11 with three walks, an RBI and a run during his three-game rehab assignment at Triple-A Omaha.

Zion Rose - Snagged with sixth pick The Royals selected Rose with the sixth overall pick in the 2026 First-Year Player Draft.

Impact Rose is a catcher turned outfielder who excelled in three years at Louisville. He walked more than he struck out as a freshman and junior and he had his best power season (13 homers, .242 ISO) as a sophomore. Rose has untapped potential if he can embrace an air-pull approach in pro ball, as he hits too many balls into the ground while making contact with too many pitches out of the zone. Despite measuring in at 6-foot-1, 205 pounds, he is a plus runner and stole 55 bases in 102 games the past two seasons. He was announced as a center fielder, although left field may be a better fit in time.

The 23-year-old outfielder has gone 7-for-31 with four extra-base hits, five RBI and four runs scored over his last seven games and a .789 OPS across 341 plate appearances this season.
