The Kansas City Royals have made a significant decision, designating veteran right fielder Hunter Renfroe for assignment this Friday.
Renfroe, 33, has underperformed so far this season, batting .182 with zero home runs and four RBIs in 35 games.
Throughout his career, Renfroe has proven to be a consistent hitter, with a .236 average, accumulating 192 home runs and 510 RBIs in 996 games, playing for seven different teams over 10 seasons.
His best seasons came in 2019, with 33 home runs for the San Diego Padres, and in 2021, where he drove in 96 runs for the Boston Red Sox.
In December 2023, Renfroe signed a two-year, $13 million contract with the Kansas City Royals.
In response to this situation, the Royals have called up infielder Nick Loftin, 26, from Triple-A Omaha.
