Royals' Jac Caglianone exits due to ankle injury

Kansas City's Jac Caglianone left in the fifth inning of the Royals' Wednesday game against the visiting Athletics due to right ankle soreness.

Caglianone went 1-for-1 and was hit by a pitch before John Rave pinch-hit for him in the fifth.

In his first full major league season, Caglianone is batting .279 with a .332 on-base percentage, a .495 slugging percentage, 22 home runs and 60 RBIs in 119 games.

He has been on a three-week hot streak. Over his past 20 games, Caglianone is 32-for-77 (.416) with six home runs and 23 RBIs.

The 23-year-old Tampa native has split his time between right field and first base this year.
