Hunter Renfroe News: DFA'd by Kansas City

The Royals designated Renfroe for assignment Friday.

Renfroe opened the season with a regular role in Kansas City's outfield, but he started just eight of 20 games in May and has now been removed from the big-league roster. The 33-year-old struggled to a .182/.241/.242 slash line in 108 plate appearances after fading to a .689 OPS in 120 contests last year. Given that production, plus what remains of his $7.57 million salary for 2025, Renfroe is a safe bet to pass through waivers unclaimed.
