Nick Loftin delivers two RBI in perfect day at the plate Friday

Nick Loftin made a strong first impression in the Royals’ Cactus League opener, going 2-for-2 with two RBI in a 5-2 victory over the Rangers. The 25-year-old opened the scoring with a two-out, two-run single off Nathan Eovaldi in the second inning and added another single in the fifth.
Fantasy Impact:
Loftin is competing for a bench spot on Kansas City’s Opening Day roster, and performances like Friday’s will help his case. While he doesn’t have a clear path to everyday at-bats, his versatility could earn him a utility role. He’s not fantasy relevant outside of deep AL-only leagues for now, but his progress is worth monitoring this spring.
