In case you missed it, the Royals acquired veteran hitter Mark Canha.
Kyle Wright faced live hitters for the first time since 2023, writes Anne Rogers.
“I was definitely nervous again,” Wright said. “I had those pregame jitters, which I was pumped about. Usually the thoughts have just been, ‘Is my shoulder going to survive today?’ This time, it felt like I was getting ready to pitch in a game.”
Wright’s first four pitches were balls, and he acknowledged he was moving too fast, likely because of the adrenaline of what the moment meant.
