Kansas City Royals call up top prospect Jac Caglianone, set to make MLB debut on Thursday
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCAU) – A rollercoaster year for Kansas City Royals' top prospect Jac Caglianone continues. Less than one year after being selected with the sixth overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, Kansas City has called up its rising star to the big leagues, making the move official on Sunday night. The 22-year-old has hit 15 home runs and 56 RBI in 50 games during his minor league stint, boasting a .322 batting average, a line that he hopes transfer to the MLB and the Kansas City lineup. The Royals are last in the majors in home runs (34) and 28th in the league in runs scored (194). Caglianone appeared in 12 games for the Omaha Storm Chasers in AAA, hitting six home runs with a .319 batting average. The Florida alum played in the outfield in Omaha, where he is expected to contribute when he joins the Royans for its series in St. Louis on Thursday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Baltimore Orioles hope for a spark after reinstating Colton Cowser from the injured list
The Baltimore Orioles reinstated Colton Cowser from the 60-day injured list Monday, bringing back the outfielder before a six-game road trip out West. Baltimore was off Monday before facing the Mariners and Athletics on this trip. The last-place Orioles are coming off a three-game sweep of the Chicago White Sox. Cowser has been out with a broken left thumb. He hasn't played since March 30. In four games, he has gone 2-for-16 with one home run. Baltimore designated utilityman Cooper Hummel for assignment. Cowser hit 24 home runs last season, finishing second in the American League rookie of the year vote. Return of a Gold Glove finalist Without Cowser in the field, the Baltimore Orioles' defense was 22nd with 33 errors. The outfielders alone -- between Ramon Laureano, Cedric Mullins, Tyler O'Neill, and Heston Kjerstad have combined for five errors. Cowser can play each position in the outfield. He was a Gold Glove finalist last season. In 2024, he ranked second among left fielders with Outs Above Average (OAA), according to MLB statistics. Orioles look for an offensive spark Baltimore fans hope Cowser will bring a spark to the offense, which has struggled at times this season, especially with runners in scoring position. The Orioles are 23rd with a .237 team batting average, 25th with 222 runs scored, eighth with 513 strikeouts, and 25th with a .302 on-base percentage. The Orioles (22-36) are in last place in the American League East, 14 games behind the leading New York Yankees. They are also nine back of a wild card spot. However, they have won 6 of their last 10 games.

Some Things I Think I Think: Red Sox' managerial seat not hot enough for a change
*Red Sox' chief baseball officer Craig Breslow gave Alex Cora a vote of confidence Saturday in Atlanta, but really, that was just a confirmation of the obvious: Cora, for any number of reasons, isn't going anywhere. Let's start with his contract, which was agreed to last July and kicked in at the start of this season. If the Red Sox terminated him now, they'd owe him about $20 million. The Red Sox have eaten bigger contracts in the past, but they're not about to walk away from a manager less than three months into a three-year deal. Advertisement Also, while three major league managers have already been fired (Baltimore, Colorado and Pittsburgh) since the season began, increasingly, teams are loathe to make in-season changes. Baseball is not an effort sport the way basketball and hockey are. Sometimes, changing coaches in the NBA or NHL can reinvigorate a team that has tuned out a coach and the installation of a new coach can improve effort and intensity. That doesn't apply to baseball. Even if it did, the Red Sox would have to find a replacement internally, since rival teams are not about to allow them to poach anyone from their staffs in the middle of the year. There's no logical replacement on the current Red Sox staff, with the possible exception of Ramon Vazquez, who is a close friend of Cora's and who views the game in much the same way. Finally, ownership and upper management remain enamored with Cora. They remember 2018 and how Cora won a World Series in his first season managing at any level. Even if after Cora was suspended by MLB for his involvement in the 2017 Houston Astros' sign-stealing scandal, they're squarely backed his return in 2021 and were rewarded with a trip to the ALCS in his first year back in the dugout. They view Cora as the right man for the job and the right ambassador for the team, and are not about to have their minds changed over the course of 60 games — however disappointing those have been. Advertisement It's easy to take issue with some in-game decisions — just as long as you remember that the same can be said of 29 other big league managers, a fact that some fans conveniently forget. The frustration on the part of the fan base is both palpable and understandable. After three straight seasons out of the postseason and without a winning record, fans were led to believe that this year would be different. Instead it's been more of the same. When that happens, it's natural to question the job security of the manager. But not in this case. Cora is here to stay. *The Stefon Diggs situation shouldn't be altogether surprising. We know little about what went on on that boat or what Diggs was consuming and sharing with others. But at the very least, he was guilty of some poor judgement. Advertisement The last thing Mike Vrabel wanted was a distraction, but really, is anyone surprised? It's just one more example of the pattern of diva-like behavior by a star NFL wide receiver. What is it with that position, anyway? Imagine if, say, center fielders in baseball had that same reputation, and people just shrugged and said: 'Well, what did you expect? The guy's a center fielder!" Either way, it's inauspicious start to Diggs' time in Foxboro. *In the end, it won't matter how long the Bruins took to hire a coach; it will be more about who rather than when. And if the decision is to go with Marco Sturm or Jay Leach, who have built strong reputations as both AHL head coaches and NHL assistants, that's fine, too. But here's hoping that Sturm or Leach aren't hired chiefly because they had ties to the organization. Advertisement *Say this for Brad Stevens: The Celtics' GM isn't afraid to think big. As the Celtics transition to a season with their best player, Stevens seems to be investigating every option available, from landing a lottery pick to contemplating a deal for Giannis Antetokounmpo. Anything and everything is on the table for the Celtics. And for a team intent on winning, that's how it always should be. *Wasn't familiar with Rich Waltz, who handled play-by-play for the Red Sox-Braves on Apple+ TV, and I was left wondering how familiar Waltz is with baseball. When his on-air partner David Ross casually noted that he was once teammates with Sox closer Aroldis Chapman, a surprised Waltz asked: 'When did you catch him?' Advertisement Um, the 2016 Cubs, Rich? Won a World Series for the first time in 108 years, in a thrilling seven-game series in 2016? Is any of this ringing a bell? It was in all the papers. *When players make their major league debuts for the Red Sox, Cora has a habit of saying: 'He's a big leaguer now and nobody can take that away from him.' And I guess my question is: Who, exactly, would be trying to 'take that away from him?' *Weeks after the Celtics elimination by the Knicks, too many fans are unable to admit that their team's second-round exit was not a matter of bad luck or even injuries. With or without Jayson Tatum, the Celtics had no business losing to the Knicks. Advertisement *There was some consternation that Rick Tocchet wasn't interested in the Bruins' job, citing the organization's coaching turnover in the last little while and (at the time) Don Sweeney's contractual uncertainty. Both are fair points. But when did Tocchet become Scotty Bowman? Recall that this past year, he oversaw a team in Vancouver where the franchise's two top players — Elias Petterson and J.T. Miller — literally didn't speak to one another, creating a divided dressing room that helped tank the season. *How long again until Season 4 of The Bear starts up again? *Edmonton over Florida in seven games for the Stanley Cup. But what do I know? Advertisement *Congrats to Mike Glavine and his Northeastern Huskies for their terrific baseball season. *I'm guessing TV networks are less than thrilled with the prospect of a NBA Finals pitting Indiana (the league's 22nd media market) against Oklahoma City (ranked No. 28).
