personal matter
DETROIT (AP) --- Kansas City manager Matt Quatraro was not with the Royals due
to a personal matter on Thursday night when they started a series against the
Detroit Tigers.
The Royals, who did not give details, said they expect Quatraro back soon.
Paul Hoover was the team's acting manager for the series-opening game in
Detroit, where Vance Wilson was the bench coach and Jos Alguacil coached third
base. They will serve in those roles until Quatraro returns.
During the offseason, Kansas City gave Quatraro a three-year contract extension
that runs through 2029 with a team option for 2030. He replaced Mike Matheny
after the 2022 season and has led the Royals to a 267-322 record over
three-plus seasons.
Kansas City won 82 games last year and 86 in 2024, giving the franchise
consecutive winning seasons for the first time in a decade and Quatraro
finished second last season in voting for AL Manager of the Year voting. The
Royals' record this season ranks among the worst in the majors.
