Overview
- The Royals placed India on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 19, with a left shoulder subluxation and recalled Nick Loftin to fill the roster spot.
- MLB.com’s Anne Rogers reports he received an injection and will see another doctor this week to determine next steps.
- Reporting cited by the Kansas City Star and manager Matt Quatraro indicates the shoulder has been a chronic, recurring issue rather than a new injury.
- Kansas City expects Michael Massey and Loftin to cover second base, a stopgap for an offense that slid to 7-16 after Monday’s eighth straight loss.
- India, the 2021 NL Rookie of the Year acquired from the Reds in 2024 and re-signed for 2026 at $8 million, had started 2026 at .167/.310/.313, raising stakes for how the Royals manage roles and in-season plans.
