  • Royals' Matt Beaty: Sits against righty

    Beaty is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

    The lefty-hitting Beaty is on the bench for the third straight game, with two of those absences having come against right-handed starting pitchers. Beaty had a brief run as a strong-side platoon player at first base to close out August, but the Royals appear to have instead opted for a committee approach to the position.

  • Royals' Matt Beaty: Idle versus lefty

    Beaty is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

    The lefty-hitting Beaty will head to the bench Sunday with southpaw Chris Sale on the hill for Boston. While Beaty sits, the Royals will hand a start at first base to Matt Duffy in the series finale.

  • Royals' Matt Beaty: Sitting versus lefty

    Beaty is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Red Sox.

    Beaty will take a seat as the Royals face left-hander James Paxton. Salvador Perez will slot in at first base while Freddy Fermin enters the lineup at catcher and bats fifth in the opener with Boston.

  • Royals' Matt Beaty: Steps out of lineup

    Beaty is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

    Beaty started the past five games but will take a seat Tuesday after he went 3-for-12 with two walks and two runs during that stretch. Salvador Perez will rest his legs at first base while Freddy Fermin steps in behind the plate.

  • Royals' Matt Beaty: Garners fourth straight start

    Beaty will start at first base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Mariners.

    The lefty-hitting Beaty may continue to sit regularly versus left-handed pitching, but the Royals appear to be giving him a look in an everyday role at first base or designated hitter against righties. He'll start for the fourth game in a row after going 3-for-8 with a walk and two runs over the previous three contests.

  • Royals' Matt Beaty: Playing time picks up

    Beaty will start at first base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

    Beaty will be rewarded with his fourth start in five games after recording a pair of base hits and scoring a run in Tuesday's 10-8 loss. With Nick Pratto (groin) still stuck on the injured list and with Edward Olivares having recently been optioned to Triple-A Omaha, the lefty-hitting Beaty could be in store for steady playing time versus right-handed pitching.

  • Royals' Matt Beaty: Returns to bench role

    Beaty is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Beaty had started each of the last three games at first base and went 3-for-13 with two doubles, two runs and one RBI in those contests, but his opportunities will likely become more limited moving forward after Salvador Perez (hand) returned from a one-game absence Tuesday. Perez is expected to see consistent playing time at first base for the foreseeable future to open up starts behind the plate for the hot-hitting Freddy Fermin.

  • Royals' Matt Beaty: Back from injured list

    Beaty (concussion) was reinstated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

    Beaty landed on the shelf June 23 after suffering a concussion, and he'll rejoin the Royals on Tuesday after a six-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha. The 30-year-old has appeared in just seven big-league games this season and should fill a bench role now that he's healthy.

  • Royals' Matt Beaty: Beginning rehab assignment

    Beaty (concussion) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha on Wednesday.

  • Royals' Matt Beaty: Not in lineup Friday

    Beaty (undisclosed) is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Rays.

    Beaty will remain out of the lineup as he continues to nurse an undisclosed injury. It's unclear if he would even be in the starting lineup regardless of his health considering he's made only one start for the Royals since being called up Sunday.

  • Royals' Matt Beaty: Placed on 7-day IL

    Beaty was placed on the 7-day concussion injured list Friday, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.

  • Royals' Matt Beaty: Held out Thursday

    Beaty (undisclosed) isn't in Kansas City's lineup Thursday against the Rays.

  • Royals' Matt Beaty: Leaves with apparent injury

    Beaty left Wednesday's game versus the Tigers with an apparent injury, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports. He went 0-for-1 with an RBI groundout prior to his departure.

    Beaty collided with Samad Taylor on a bloop single off the bat of Spencer Torkelson and was unable to continue. The Royals will likely provide an update on Beaty's status soon, but for now, he should be considered day-to-day.

  • Royals' Matt Beaty: Brought up from Triple-A

    Kansas City selected Beaty's contract from Triple-A Omaha on Sunday.

    Beaty was signed to a minor-league contract by the Royals on Monday after he elected free agency instead of accepting an outright assignment from the Giants in June. The veteran infielder provides some bench help for Kansas City, and he takes the roster spot of Michael Massey after Massey was placed on the injured list with a hand laceration.

  • Royals' Matt Beaty: Latches on with Royals

    Beaty signed a minor-league contract with the Royals on Monday.

    He'll report to Triple-A Omaha, where he'll represent some depth at the corner infield and outfield spots. Beaty had been in the Giants organization, seeing a little action in the majors but spending most of the season at the Triple-A level.

  • Matt Beaty: Elects free agency

    Beaty cleared waivers and elected free agency Tuesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    After being designated for assignment by the Giants last week, Beaty went unclaimed on the waivers and will now look to sign elsewhere. The 30-year-old first baseman holds an .853 OPS in Triple-A this season, giving him a solid chance at landing with another team as organizational depth.
