Royals embrace youth movement with trio of call-ups during September roster expansion

At long last, Kansas City Royals fans now know what their expanded roster will look like in September after the team made an announcement on Sunday regarding their anticipated Monday transactions.

Now, there were plenty of options for the Royals to choose from. They could have gone with the veteran depth route, either from existing names on the 40-man or promising names they'd signed along the way.

However, the Royals opted instead to lean on their youth movement to lengthen their major league depth amid an uphill battle to the postseason.

We anticipate the following roster moves tomorrow:

C Carter Jensen selected from Omaha (AAA)

OF/1B Jac Caglianone reinstated from the Injured List

RHP Luinder Avila recalled from Omaha (AAA)— Kansas City Royals (@Royals) August 31, 2025

Jac Caglianone will be re-instated off of the injured list after a lengthier spell in the minors.
