Placed on 10-day IL Olivares was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a left quadriceps strain.
Impact Olivares tweaked his quadriceps at some point this week and will now be away from the team for 10 days while nursing the injury. Nick Pratto was called up Friday to replace him on the active roster. Kyle Isbel will likely operate at the primary option in right field for the time being.

Perfect at plate Thursday Olivares went 3-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Blue Jays.
Impact With the Royals placing 10 players on the restricted list due to their unvaccinated status, Olivares got a chance to hit leadoff Thursday. He did well in the table-setting role, getting on base four times and providing the opening run with an RBI single in the fifth inning. The 26-year-old is now slashing .310/.365/.460 with three home runs, 11 RBI, 14 runs scored and two stolen bases through 33 contests. He should have no trouble staying in the lineup this weekend, and he could use that as an audition for more playing time once the Royals are back stateside.

Shaping up as everyday player Olivares will start in right field and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Astros.
Impact Olivares has now started three times in the last four occasions that the Royals have opposed right-handed pitchers, as he appears to be getting a look as an everyday player rather than in the short side of a platoon with the lefty-hitting Kyle Isbel. Since coming off the injured list June 24, Olivares has produced only five hits in 28 at-bats, but three have left the yard.
