San Francisco Giants vs Kansas City Royals Starting Lineup — Wednesday, Jul 22, 2026

San Francisco has only a handful of prior matchups against Seth Lugo. Rafael Devers owns the strongest line in this group at 2-for-5 in 6 PA with a 1.500 OPS, while Willy Adames is 1-for-3 with a 1.666 OPS and Luis Arraez is 1-for-3 with a .666 OPS. Heliot Ramos is hitless, going 0-for-3 in 3 PA with a .000 OPS. Bryce Eldridge, Casey Schmitt, Jung Hoo Lee, Drew Gilbert, and Drew Cavanaugh have no MLB history vs Lugo.

Kansas City also brings limited history against Landen Roupp, with Lane Thomas standing out at 1-for-1 and Josh Rojas going 1-for-2 in 3 PA with a 1.167 OPS. Salvador Perez is hitless at 0-for-2 in 2 PA with a .000 OPS, Michael Massey is 0-for-3 in 3 PA with a .000 OPS, and Starling Marte is 0-for-1 in 1 PA with a .000 OPS. Carter Jensen, Vinnie Pasquantino, Isaac Collins, and Andrew Velazquez have no MLB history vs Roupp.

The Giants appear to have slightly more meaningful familiarity with the opposing starter, led by Devers and Adames. The Royals have a few prior looks as well, but most of their known history is either very small-sample success or hitless results.
