Renfroe is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Renfroe cracked the starting nine in eight of the Royals' first 10 contests, but his hold on a near-everyday role could be slipping. He hasn't started consecutive games since April 6 and 7 while he's gotten off to a miserable start to the season, as he's slashing just .128/.209/.154 with a 27.9 percent strikeout rate over 43 plate appearances. Cavan Biggio will replace Renfroe in right field Monday.

Renfroe isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Renfroe has gotten off to a poor start this season, slashing just .143/.231/.171 across 39 plate appearances through 11 games. He'll get another day off to regroup Saturday, and his absence will open up a spot in the lineup for Cavan Biggio to start at first base while batting sixth.

Renfroe is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

It's a routine day off for Renfroe, who is sporting a lowly .416 OPS across his first 10 games of the season. The Royals are going with Cavan Biggio in right field and in the fifth spot in the lineup for Thursday's series finale.

Renfroe is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old is off to a slow start and will begin Friday's series opener on the bench, as Cavan Biggio is in the lineup at designated hitter with MJ Melendez in right field. Renfroe is 2-for-18 at the plate with one double, three RBI, three walks and six strikeouts through five games this season.

Renfroe is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Renfroe went 0-for-4 with a strikeout on Opening Day and will now step out of the lineup Saturday. His absence will open up a spot in the lineup for Cavan Biggio to bat eighth while covering first base.

Renfroe is hitting just .188 (3-for-16) with a home run this spring, but he says a return to full health has been his priority after a back injury, a broken left toe and right hamstring strain slowed him last season, MLB.com reports. "It was a big issue," Renfroe said. "Toward the middle part of the season, some things popped up. And that led to lower back, hamstring. It's all connected. But it feels good now. I was hoping that when I started up this offseason that I wouldn't feel it, and I didn't, which was great."

EDGE Analysis

Renfroe had a disappointing 2024 season by hitting just .229 with 15 home runs and a .689 OPS over 120 regular-season games. His performance this spring isn't inspiring confidence that he'll have a bounceback season, but he appears set for an everyday role in right field.

Renfroe exercised his player option worth $7.6 million for the 2025 season, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Renfroe began the season as the starting right fielder for the Royals, though his role shrunk after the acquisition of Tommy Pham. His primary shortcoming was a lack of power, as he posted a career-low .163 ISO across 424 plate appearances. Pham is entering free agency, which could give Renfroe a shot to start again entering 2025.

Renfroe is not in the lineup for Tuesday's Game 1 of the American League Wild Card Series versus the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Renfroe started eight of the final 12 games of the regular season in right field (five against lefties, three versus righties). However, with Vinnie Pasquantino back in action and limited to designated-hitter duties, the Royals are going with Tommy Pham in right field for Game 1 versus righty Corbin Burnes.

Renfroe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-2 win over Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Renfroe has homered in two of his last three games, giving him 15 long balls on the year. It's his lowest power output in any season in which he's played at least 100 games. The veteran outfielder has added 52 RBI, 44 runs scored, one stolen base, 18 doubles and a .229/.297/.392 slash line over 120 contests. He enters the postseason in a timeshare with Tommy Pham and Adam Frazier for playing time in right field.
