Tyler Soderstrom - Back in action Friday Soderstrom (shoulder/head) is starting in left field and batting sixth Friday against the Guardians.

Impact Soderstrom sat the past two games after getting banged up on a dive attempt in left field Tuesday, but he's ready to go for Friday's series opener versus Cleveland. Through his first 29 games of the season, the 24-year-old is slashing .211/.298/.404 with three home runs, one stolen base, 18 RBI and 14 runs.

Vinnie Pasquantino - Back in lineup Friday Pasquantino (back) is starting at first base and batting third against the Mariners on Friday.

Impact Pasquantino was out of the lineup for each of the Royals' last two games due to lower-back tightness. He was cleared to pinch hit in Thursday's loss to the Athletics, and he has progressed enough in his recovery to return to the lineup for Friday's series opener. Pasquantino is slashing .165/.274/.320 with three home runs and 14 RBI across 124 plate appearances this season.

Last Night in Baseball: Phillies Walk Off Giants Twice in One Day

Elias Díaz - Drives first homer of 2026 Diaz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Athletics.

Impact Diaz cracked his first homer of the season to the opposite field in the eighth inning to cut the deficit to three, though the Royals were unable to mount a comeback. The 35-year-old has seen limited playing time since being called up April 19 as the team's third catcher but has produced when called upon, going 4-for-11 (.364) with a homer, two doubles, three RBI, two runs and a walk across four appearances.
