The Royals placed Loftin on the paternity list Saturday.
Loftin will be away from the team while welcoming a new addition to his family, and his move to the paternity list will likely end his season early. The 28-year-old surpassed 100 games played in a season for the first time this year and slashed .240/.322/.388 with eight homers, 45 RBI and 42 runs scored while doing so.

Loftin went 1-for-4 with a homer and two RBI during Tuesday's 14-11 loss to the White Sox.
Loftin extended his modest hitting streak to four games and blasted his first long ball since Sept. 1 on Tuesday. The 27-year-old launched a solo shot off Anthony Kay in the third inning to cut the lead. This year, Loftin is batting .240/.323/.387 with eight homers and 45 RBI over 422 plate appearances.

Loftin went 4-for-5 with an RBI in Saturday's 6-5 loss to Pittsburgh.
Loftin matched a season high with four hits, all singles. Saturday marked just his second multi-hit effort of September, as he's slashing .255/.317/.364 with a homer, three RBI, three runs and a stolen base across 17 games this month. On the year, the utility man has a .240/.324/.382 line with seven homers, 43 RBI, 41 runs and three stolen bases in 115 contests.

Loftin is not in the Royals' starting lineup against the Blue Jays on Saturday.

Loftin isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Marlins.
Loftin has recorded a base hit in eight of his last nine games, but the Royals will give him a breather during Thursday's series finale. Josh Rojas will step in to start at third base and bat seventh.
RotoWire via ESPN · Sep 3
Loftin went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-3 loss against the Marlins.
Loftin crushed a solo homer -- his seventh of the campaign -- with two outs in the ninth inning, though no further comeback ensued as the Royals fell at home. Over his past 10 games, the 27-year-old is slashing .282/.349/.564 with six extra-base hits (two homers), six RBI and six runs. Loftin has seen much of his action at third base in place of Maikel Garcia (hamstring), though he manned second base Tuesday in place of Michael Massey (concussion).
