Mystery Morning Mix-Up: Royals’ Carter Jensen Misses Game After Oversleeping, Leaving Fans and Teammates in Shock
Kansas City Royals catcher Carter Jensen was unexpectedly taken out of the starting lineup on Thursday for an incredibly human reason: He overslept.
Jensen was set to start against the Minnesota Twins, giving veteran catcher Salvador Perez a break. But Jensen was late after sleeping through his alarm, leaving manager Matt Quatraro with no choice but scratch Jensen late and put Perez back behind the plate.

“Carter had an oversight,” Quatraro said after the Royals’ 5-1 loss to the Twins, via MLB.com. “Overslept. Wasn’t here on time, and we made the decision to scratch him from the lineup.”
