Top John Rave News

  • Royals' John Rave: Knocks out first career homers

    Rave went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a three-run home run during Friday's 8-7 loss to the Marlins.

    Rave not only hit his first career home run Friday, a three-run home run to pull the Royals within one, but he hit a second home run that tied the game at five and brought it to extras. It turned out to be in vain, as the Royals lost the game, but it's still likely the highlight of the rookie 27-year-old's career so far. Following this performance, Rave is slashing .194/.280/.333 on the season.

  • Royals' John Rave: Gaining traction in lineup

    Rave will start in left field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Mets.

    The Royals will include Rave in the lineup for a fifth straight matchup with a right-handed starting pitcher, in this case Clay Holmes. Despite the recent uptick in playing time, Rave has been unable to capitalize on the opportunity, slashing just .136/.269/.136 with no extra-base hits and one stolen base so far in July.

  • Royals' John Rave: Heading to bench Thursday

    Rave is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers.

    Rave had started in both of the Royals' previous two matchups with right-handed pitching, but his playing time could become more scarce moving forward while he's struggled to get going at the plate. Since getting called up from Triple-A Omaha on May 26, Rave is slashing .200/.242/.267 with a 31.4 percent strikeout rate over 35 plate appearances.

  • Royals' John Rave: Losing playing time to Caglianone

    Rave is out of the lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader versus the Cardinals.

    After getting called up from Triple-A Omaha on May 26, Rave started in right field in five of the Royals' ensuing seven games but went just 3-for-15 with a double and a walk. With the Royals summoning another left-handed-hitting corner outfielder in top prospect Jac Caglianone from Omaha earlier this week, Rave's window for regular playing time against right-handed pitching appears to have closed.

  • Royals' John Rave: Late add to lineup

    Rave is now batting eighth and playing right field for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

    Rave was initially scheduled to have the night off, but he's been pushed into the starting lineup after Michael Massey (ankle) was scratched. Rave hasn't logged a hit in eight plate appearances since being called up Monday.

  • Royals' John Rave: Absent from lineup

    Rave isn't part of the Royals' starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

    Rave started in both of Kansas City's games since being brought up from Triple-A Omaha on Monday, but he'll be on the bench to start Wednesday's contest. Rave went 0-for-6 with a walk and two strikeouts in those two appearances. Dairon Blanco will fill right field Wednesday.

  • Royals' John Rave: Joining big-league club

    The Royals selected Rave's contract from Triple-A Omaha on Monday.

    Rave will make his MLB debut if he gets into a game, and it's a well-deserved promotion for the 27-year-old who slashed .301/.382/.549 with nine home runs and 17 stolen bases in 202 plate appearances with Omaha this season. Rave has mostly played center field in 2025, but has some experience playing in the corners. The move comes just days after right fielder Hunter Renfroe was DFA'd, though it's more likely Rave will be a depth piece in center field while Drew Waters and Mark Canha handle most of the work in right field. Waters had been Kyle Isbel's (illness) primary backup in center field before Renfroe's departure.
