Jac Caglianone called up to MLB by Kansas City Royals
Jac Caglianone called up to MLB by Kansas City Royals After just 50 games in the minor leagues, former Florida baseball star Jac Caglianone is being called up to the Majors by the Kansas City Royals. Caglianone made his name in college as a two-way, record-breaking slugger at Florida. He set the program record for homers a year after Wyatt Langford raised the bar, and is one of the most prolific swingers in college baseball history. Despite all that, he fell to No. 6 in the 2024 MLB draft, finally being selected by Kansas City. From there, Caglianone played 29 games in High-A to finish out an already long 2024 season — he led Florida to back-to-back College World Series appearances and played deep into June. Caglianone slashed .241/.302/.388 with just two homers. A bit of a slow start, but the bat was still average at a higher level than most begin their professional careers at. Caglianone's first full year in pro ball went much differently. He started off in Double-A and mashed the ball, racking up nine homers and 32 RBIs in 38 games. His wRC+ was 157 through those games, well above the league average of 100, and a call-up to Triple-A came in mid-May. Just 12 games (and six more homers) later, and Caglianone's power swing is considered ready for MLB action. Maybe it's that Kansas City has averaged fewer than three runs per game over the past week or so, but Caglianone was always going to be a quick call-up. The Royals' offensive woes accelerated the process, though. Now, with a decent amount of pressure on his shoulders, Caglianone is set to take his first MLB swings. Kansas City faces St. Louis at 7:45 p.m. on Bally Sports Midwest or Follow us @GatorsWire on X, formerly known as Twitter, as well as Bluesky, and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Florida Gators news, notes and opinions.

Lakers 2024-25 season player grades: Jaxson Hayes
For the last few seasons, the Los Angeles Lakers have been weak at the center position, even though for most of that time, they boasted Anthony Davis, one of the NBA's very best big men. But once Davis was sent to the Dallas Mavericks in order to acquire Luka Doncic, the Lakers' lack of viable centers was put under a microscope. They have had to make do with Jaxson Hayes as perhaps the only playable true center on their roster over the last two seasons. He has done well at times, but over the last few months, it has become beyond clear that he has been miscast as a starting center. Jaxson Hayes' season stats In 56 regular-season games, Hayes averaged 6.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 0.9 blocks in 19.5 minutes a game. In the first round of the NBA playoffs, he averaged 1.8 points, 2.0 rebounds and 0.3 blocks in 7.8 minutes a game. Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle Overall analysis Once Davis left and Doncic arrived, Hayes saw his playing time increase. Doncic has thrived in the past while playing alongside big men who are lob threats near the rim, and for a while, it looked like Hayes could do well while playing that role. His scoring and shooting percentage ticked up in February and March, and there was some hope that the Lakers could contend for the NBA championship with him starting at the 5. However, Hayes and the team got exposed in the first round of the playoffs versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. Hayes' playing time diminished greatly, and he got onto the court for a total of just 31 minutes. He didn't play at all in Game 5 when Los Angeles was eliminated from the postseason, and some have questioned that decision by head coach JJ Redick, especially since Rudy Gobert went off for 27 points and 24 rebounds in that contest. The reality is that while Hayes can bring some energy on the court, he simply lacks the girth and strength to effectively box out or play high-level positional defense in the paint. His energy and effort also seem to wax and wane on a game-to-game basis. The Lakers badly need a starting-level center who will rebound, defend, protect the rim and run the floor in transition. But there is now a feeling that they also need a viable backup center who can play about 15-20 minutes a game. In other words, perhaps Hayes isn't even capable of being a second-string center on a contending team. What's next for Hayes? Hayes will be a free agent at the end of the league year in a few weeks. According to a recent report by one insider, he's unhappy with the reduction in his playing time, and there is only an "outside chance" of Hayes sticking around. If Los Angeles wants to keep him, he should be inexpensive. But the team will be in trouble if it has to rely on him to play more than about 15-18 minutes a game. Overall grade: C/C-plus
