Fantasy Impact: Royals skipper Matt Quatraro didn't disclose anything about Loftin's issue but said, "we should know more tomorrow." Loftin has had a good spring, hitting .318 with a pair of homers and a stolen bases across 26 plate appearances. However, with Lane Thomas and Starling Marte added this offseason, his playing time in the Royals outfield should be limited, as he could begin at Triple-A, given he has one option remaining.
