Renfroe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Renfroe started the first two games of the series and will head to the bench for the finale after he went 2-for-7 with a homer, a walk and three RBI. Adam Frazier will start in right field and bat eighth Sunday.

Renfroe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 7-1 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Renfroe has struggled to get his bat going -- he's 3-for-27 (.111) over his last 10 games. The outfielder has started to lose playing time to Adam Frazier, who was squeezed out of a full-time role at second base when Michael Massey returned from a back injury. Renfroe is slashing a poor .155/.228/.298 with three homers, 11 RBI, eight runs scored and three doubles over 92 plate appearances, so he'll need to put together better performances to continue playing regularly.

Renfroe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Renfroe looked to be on the outs for an everyday role when he was held out of the lineup for consecutive games last Thursday and Friday, but he started in each of the past four games. However, Renfroe went just 1-for-12 with two walks in those contests, and he now finds himself back on the bench while his season-long slash line now sits at .150/.218/.263. Adam Frazier will get the nod in right field Wednesday, and manager Matt Quartaro could be inclined to lean on a timeshare between Frazier and Renfroe at that spot in the lineup until one player starts to heat up at the plate.

Renfroe is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Renfoe isn't starting for the second straight game and for the third time in Kansas City's past four contests. The 32-year-old has a .149/.208/.284 slash line in 72 plate appearances and appears to be losing his grip on an everyday role. Adam Frazier will receive a start in right field Friday.

Renfroe is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Renfroe will sit for the second time in three days while Kansas City opens up room in the outfield for Adam Frazier, who will occupy left field while MJ Melendez shifts over to right. Through 72 plate appearances this season, Renfroe is slashing just .149/.208/.284 with two home runs and 10 RBI. He could be in danger of fading into a part-time role in the Kansas City outfield.

Renfroe is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Renfroe is in the midst of a 2-for-21 slump and will sit Tuesday after starting the previous six games. Dairon Blanco will take over in right field and bat seventh.

Renfroe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a 4-2 win over the White Sox in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader.
EDGE Analysis
Renfroe went 0-for-3 with one RBI in the nightcap as well. The veteran outfielder is still holding onto a starting role in right field, but he's struggling at the plate in 2024. Renfroe is batting .176 with two homers, eight RBI, six runs scored and two doubles over 56 plate appearances. Nelson Velazquez has occasionally moved from designated hitter to right when Renfroe rests, and Adam Frazier could be an option there as well once Michael Massey (back) is activated from the injured list.

Renfroe is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Renfroe has a modest six-game hitting streak going but will take a seat in the series finale as the Astros send right-hander Hunter Brown to the rubber. MJ Melendez will slide over to right field and Nelson Velazquez will get a start in left.

Renfroe went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Sunday's win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Renfroe got the scoring going for the Royals with a fifth-inning home run off Garrett Crochet but was otherwise held quiet. He's now recorded a hit in four straight games but Sunday's blast were his first two RBI and his first hit for extra bases as he's gotten off to a very slow start to the year.

Renfroe is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Renfroe has struggled at the plate to begin the season, going 3-for-26 with one run, one walk and nine strikeouts. Garrett Hampson will get the start in left field Saturday, while MJ Melendez will move to right field for Renfroe.
