Steve Gilbert was the first to break the news, during this evening’s game against the Pirates in Pittsburgh, tweeting “The @Dbacks have traded Randal Grichuk to the @Royals”. This was a little awkward, since Grichuk was actually in the line-up for the contest, though was quickly removed and replaced by Jorge Barrosa.

Friday's Cleveland Guardians at Kansas City Royals game was postponed due to inclement weather. It will be made up as part of a doubleheader Saturday.
