The Royals designated Kameron Misner for assignment.

EDGE Analysis

Misner loses his spot on the Royals 40-man roster. He will head to waivers.

The Royals optioned Misner to Triple-A Omaha on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Misner is the odd man out on the 26-man roster with Vinnie Pasquantino (hand) back from the injured list Friday. Misner has appeared in 18 games for the Royals this season, slashing .220/.256/.244 with one double, four RBI, two runs scored, three stolen bases and a 2:17 BB:K across 44 trips to the dish.

Misner is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

The left-handed-hitting Misner will be on the bench for the third time in the Royals' last four matchups with right-handed starting pitchers. Since being called up from Triple-A Omaha on June 10, Misner has held his own at the plate with a .350/.381/.350 slash line over 22 plate appearances, but it hasn't been enough for him to gain a foothold in the everyday lineup. The Royals seem to be prioritizing Lane Thomas and John Rave over Misner in the outfield in the wake of Kyle Isbel (foot) and Vinnie Pasquantino (hand) recently landing on the injured list.

Misner is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Since being called up from Triple-A Omaha a week ago, Misner has drawn starts in five of the Royals' ensuing eight games, going 6-for-16 with a walk, a stolen base and three RBI. Though he'll head to the bench Wednesday, the Royals should be able to make regular room in the outfield for both Misner and Lane Thomas while Kyle Isbel (foot) and Vinnie Pasquantino (hand) are on the injured list.

Misner is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Though he'll head to the bench for the series opener in Washington while the left-handed Andrew Alvarez toes the rubber for the Nationals, Misner should be in line for an extended look as a strong-side platoon player while Kyle Isbel (foot) and Vinnie Pasquantino (hand) are on the shelf. Misner started in each of the last four games while the Royals faced right-handed pitchers, going 6-for-12 with a walk, a stolen base and three RBI over those contests.

Misner will start in center field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Misner will draw a fourth straight start after going 4-for-9 with a walk and three RBI over the prior three contests. The 28-year-old looks poised to handle an everyday role in center field for Kansas City while Kyle Isbel (foot) is on the shelf.

The Royals recalled Misner from Triple-A Omaha on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

He'll join the big club as a replacement for Kyle Isbel (foot), who was placed on the injured list. Misner has spent the whole season up to this point at Omaha, slashing .276/.373/.547 with 13 home runs and 11 stolen bases in 59 games. He could see some playing time in center field while Isbel is shelved.

Kansas City optioned Misner to Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Misner was traded from the Rays to the Royals in November. The speedy outfielder stole 22 bases in 30 attempts with Tampa Bay last season but posted a poor .618 OPS and 31.8 percent strikeout rate. Misner has intriguing speed and power, but his struggles making contact could be an obstacle to him spending much time in the majors.

The Royals acquired Misner from the Rays on Monday in exchange for cash considerations.

EDGE Analysis

Misner had been designated for assignment by the Rays last week and is now on the move to a new organization. The Royals don't have much in terms of outfield depth, so it's possible Misner finds a decent amount of playing time in Kansas City. The 27-year-old is no sure bet himself, though, having put up a .585 OPS and 34.1 percent strikeout rate across 232 plate appearances at the big-league level.
