Manager Matt Quatraro ejected as Kansas City Royals lose to Miami Marlins

Kansas City Royals manager Matt Quatraro was ejected from Monday's game against the Miami Marlins at Kauffman Stadium. The ejection occurred in the eighth inning following a dispute over an overturned balk call. The call, initially made by first-base umpire Nestor Ceja, was reversed, preventing a run from scoring for the Royals. Quatraro, who was disqualified for the second time this season, stated his frustration stemmed from the timing and nature of the reversal during a critical juncture of the game. In separate team news, closer Carlos Estévez will undergo shoulder surgery and is expected to miss the remainder of the 2026 season after rehabilitative efforts were unsuccessful. The team continues to manage its roster while facing ongoing discussions regarding local stadium funding projects and the potential impact of future city developments.
