Carter Jensen Scratched From Lineup After Oversleeping

Royals rookie catcher Carter Jensen was a late scratch from Thursday's lineup against the Twins after oversleeping his alarm. Jensen, who admitted to waking up in a full panic, vowed to set multiple alarms in the future. Salvador Perez replaced him behind the plate during the Royals' 5-1 loss. Jensen eventually arrived at the ballpark and appeared as the team's catcher in the ninth inning, but the incident drew significant attention.
