How to Watch Jac Caglianone's MLB Debut vs Cardinals
How to Watch Jac Caglianone's MLB Debut vs Cardinals originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The St. Louis Cardinals remain seven games above .500 after what was an extremely productive month of May, but still trail the Chicago Cubs by four games in the National League Central race. Advertisement Next up, the Cardinals (33-26) travel home to host their neighbors and rivals, the Kansas City Royals (31-29). St. Louis comes into the contest coming off a road series loss to the Texas Rangers. The Royals enter having lost three-straight series against the Detroit Tigers, Cincinnati Reds and Minnesota Twins. With the team falling down the standings, manager Matt Quatraro decided it was time to call up No.1 prospect Jac Caglianone. Tuesday, June 3, 6:45 p.m. CT How to watch/listen: FanDuel Sports Network Midwest, FanDuel Sports Network Kansas City, KMOX 1120 AM/104.1 FM, Royals Radio Network Probable starters: Cardinals: Andre Pallante (4-3, 4.23 ERA) Advertisement Royals: Michael Lorenzen (3-6, 4.33 ERA) Wednesday, June 4, 6:45 p.m. CT How to watch/listen: FanDuel Sports Network Midwest, FanDuel Sports Network Kansas City, KMOX 1120 AM/104.1 FM, Royals Radio Network Probable starters: Cardinals: Miles Mikolas (4-2, 3.90 ERA) Royals: Noah Cameron (2-1, 1.05 ERA) Thursday, June 5, 6:45 p.m. CT How to watch/listen: FanDuel Sports Network Midwest, FanDuel Sports Network Kansas City, KMOX 1120 AM/104.1 FM, Royals Radio Network Probable starters: Cardinals: Matthew Liberatore (3-4, 3.08 ERA) Royals: TBD Gators first baseman Jac Caglianone (14) singles in the Texas A&M Aggies during the eighth inning© Steven Branscombe-Imagn Images Storylines to watch for: 1. Royals' Jac Caglianone expected to make MLB Debut The Royals called up Jac Caglianone on Monday morning after selecting him with the sixth overall pick in the 2024 Draft. Caglianone is the No. 10 overall prospect in baseball and he has been dominating the Double-A and Triple-A scene. Will the Cardinals starters be able to keep the young power-hitter at bay? Advertisement 2. Rivalry Weekend Rematch After facing off during MLB's first ever 'Rivalry Weekend' last month, both teams are hungry to stay in the playoff hunt. The Cardinals took the three-game series in Kansas City 2-1, and after a series victory over the Giants, the Royals have struggled to find their footing. No matter what, these teams are going to put up a strong fight against each other, but will the Cardinals stay hot? Or will the Royals break their losing ways? 3. Battle of the 'Best-Kept Secret' Pitchers This matchup features two of Bleacher Report's 'Best-Kept Secrets for 2025 Season': Cardinals reliever Kyle Leahy and Royals rookie starter Noah Cameron. Advertisement Leahy has posted a 2.32 ERA over 31 innings as a reliable late-inning option, while Cameron owns a 1.05 ERA through four starts since his April call-up. Neither entered 2025 with fanfare, but both are now key arms on two of the league's most surprising teams.
