Royals Set to Call Up Top Prospect Jac Caglianone for St. Louis Series
The wait is over.
After a rough 8-14 start to the 2025 season, the Kansas City Royals have fought their way back into postseason contention. While they’ve hit a bit of a snag recently, sitting at 31-29 and eight games behind first place in the American League Central, their pitching has held strong. However, offensive struggles have been a recurring issue, prompting the call-up of John Rave to help boost their lineup.
Now, the Royals are about to receive another major lift as they head to Busch Stadium for a series against the St. Louis Cardinals starting Tuesday.
Fans have long been calling for the promotion of top prospect Jac Caglianone after his recent ascent to Triple-A Omaha. According to Jeff Passan, that moment has finally arrived.
“The Kansas City Royals are calling up slugger Jac Caglianone, one of the top prospects in baseball, sources tell ESPN. Caglianone, 22, is hitting .322/.389/.593 with 15 home runs and 56 RBIs in 50 games between AA and AAA,” Passan shared on X.
Caglianone, the Royals’ first-round pick in last year’s draft, was initially selected as a two-way player, though the team is now primarily developing him as a position player.
The highly anticipated call-up is set for Tuesday night in St. Louis, and Royals fans are eager to see if Caglianone can provide the offensive spark the team has been missing. His arrival could be the catalyst that propels the Royals back into the AL Central race.
It’s an exciting moment for both Caglianone and the Royals, and it will be fascinating to see how the young slugger performs at the major league level.
