The Kansas City Royals (7-16) are experiencing a tough season, marked by an eight-game losing streak following a 7-5 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Monday. Adding to their woes, infielder Jonathan India has been placed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to Sunday due to a left shoulder sublaxation, a recurring issue for him. India, acquired from the Cincinnati Reds in November 2024, has struggled this season, slashing .167/.310/.313 with two home runs and eight RBIs over 17 games. His career average is significantly higher at .247/.346/.396. The Royals are also facing challenges from key players, with first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino hitting just .149 and designated hitter Salvador Perez at .176. The team has recorded 11 games in April with three runs or fewer, indicating a pressing need for offensive improvement. Kansas City will look to bounce back in a rematch against Baltimore on Tuesday, with Kris Bubic starting for the Royals.
