Renfroe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Friday's 10-3 win over the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Renfroe went back-to-back with Salvador Perez in the second inning, and the Royals never looked back. This was Renfroe's second multi-hit effort in seven games since he returned from a bruised toe. He's up to eight homers, 28 RBI, 25 runs scored and one stolen base while slashing .211/.292/.389 through 63 contests. As long as Adam Frazier (thumb) remains on the injured list, Renfroe should see a majority of the playing time in right field for the Royals.

Renfroe went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 4-1 win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Renfroe's blast was his first in three games since he returned from a minimal stay on the injured list with a bruised toe. The outfielder has gone 8-for-25 (.320) in June, adding three homers and seven RBI across nine contests. While he's slashing just .198/.279/.373 on the year, his bat has started to come around, offering him a bit of security in a starting role in right field. Renfroe has added seven homers 27 RBI, 23 runs scored, 10 doubles and one stolen base over 197 plate appearances.

The Royals reinstated Renfroe (toe) from the 15-day injured list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old resumed taking swings over the weekend and is back on the active roster after spending the 10-day minimum on the shelf with a bruised toe. Renfroe had a hot start to June prior to the injury as he went 7-for-18 with two doubles, two homers and six RBI in six games.

Renfroe (toe) resumed playing light catch last Wednesday and was spotted taking some swings on the field last weekend, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Renfroe was placed on the 10-day injured list June 11 with a bone bruise and stress reaction in his left big toe, but he's already starting to take some small steps forward in his recovery. Shortly after Renfroe was placed on the IL, the Royals estimated that the 32-year-old outfielder would be out for 2-to-3 weeks. He'll thus have a chance to make it back from the shelf before the end of June.

MRI results revealed Wednesday that Renfroe does not have a fracture in his left big toe, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Renfroe was initially diagnosed with a fractured toe after he fouled two pitches off his left foot during Monday's contest, but it now appears he managed to avoid a significant injury. It's unclear if the 32-year-old outfielder will be able to come off the IL when eligible June 21, but his expected return timeline has been significantly shortened nonetheless.

Renfroe (toe) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Renfroe was removed from Monday's game after fouling two pitches off his left foot and he'll head to the injured list after being diagnosed with a broken big toe. In a corresponding move, the Royals called up Drew Waters from Triple-A Omaha. Dairon Blanco should also see some work in right field while Renfroe is sidelined.

Renfroe has been diagnosed with a broken left big toe, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Renfroe was unable to continue Monday after fouling a pair of pitches off his left foot, and the team later revealed that he had suffered a toe fracture. Kansas City has yet to establish a timeline for his return, but Renfroe will almost certainly require a trip to the injured list to rehab. Dairon Blanco appears to be the next man up in right field, though Nelson Velazquez and Adam Frazier are also candidates to see time.

Renfroe left Monday's game against the Yankees due to an apparent lower body injury, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Renfroe fouled two pitches off his foot during an at-bat in the third inning, and he was removed from the matchup shortly after. The team should have another update on the outfielder's status after running more tests.
