Royals News
Kris Bubic took the mound yesterday in front of a roaring crowd of 39,320, a stark contrast to his Major League debut amidst cardboard cutouts during the pandemic. The Royals celebrated not just the return of baseball but also the prospect of their 2026 season with enthusiasm, coming off a much-needed 4-1 victory against the Braves. With a shaky bullpen that saw Carlos Estévez struggle, the Royals might have found a glimmer of hope in their relief corps, especially after a solid showing against the Twins. However, the injury woes continued to haunt the team as former first-round pick Asa Lacy remains sidelined, further dimming hopes for a quick turnaround. Despite a lukewarm start to the season at 1-2, the potential for a rebound is palpable as they prepare for their home opener today against the Twins.
