HUNTER DOZIER
Scores twice in return Dozier (concussion) went 1-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored in Friday's 8-3 win over Minnesota.
Impact The 29-year-old was able to score both times he got on base in Friday's contest. Dozier missed two weeks after a collision with the White Sox's Jose Abreu. Dozier has had a rough start to the season with a .144/.211/.339 slash line with five home runs, 14 RBI, 12 runs scored and a stolen base in 128 plate appearances. He should see near-everyday playing time going forward, although Kelvin Gutierrez could challenge him at third base and Jorge Soler could do the same in right field.

Merrifield, Bubic lead Royals over Twins 8-3
Whit Merrifield had two hits and three RBIs, Kris Bubic had another strong start and the Kansas City Royals beat the Minnesota Twins 8-3MAY 29, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Back in action Dozier (concussion) was activated from the injured list Friday and will bat eighth and play right field against the Twins.
Impact Dozier missed two weeks after colliding with Jose Abreu along the first-base line in mid May. He was struggling significantly at the time of the injury, going hitless in his last eight games to lower his OPS to .541, but it looks as though he's still considered a starter, at least for now. Ryan O'Hearn was optioned in a corresponding move.

Royals SS Adalberto Mondesi returns from oblique strain
Kansas City Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi has been reinstated from the 10-day injured list after missing the first 45 games this season with a right oblique sprainMAY 25, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Transferred to 10-day IL The Royals moved Dozier (concussion) from the 7-day injured list to the 10-day IL on Monday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
Impact Dozier has already been sidelined for a full seven days, so the decision to transfer him to the 10-day IL is likely just a procedural move. The 29-year-old appeared in his second rehab game for Triple-A Omaha on Sunday, going 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI while playing all nine innings in right field. He'll be eligible to rejoin the Royals for the start of their three-game series in Tampa Bay that begins Tuesday.

Begins rehab assignment Dozier (concussion) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha on Saturday.
Impact Dozier has been out for over a week after suffering a concussion during a collision with Jose Abreu. The relatively brief absence means he's unlikely to need a long rehab stint, though the Royals have yet to announce exactly when he'll be back with the big-league team.

On-field work Friday Dozier (concussion) has been "checking the boxes" in his recovery, according to manager Mike Matheny, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Impact Dozier had a scary collision last week that resulted in a concussion. He was out playing catch and going through warmups/infield drills Friday, so it would seem that he is nearing a return to the lineup.
