ADALBERTO MONDESI NEWS

Exits with side issue Mondesi exited Sunday's game against the Red Sox in the seventh inning due to a side injury, Lynn Worthy of The Kansas City Star reports.

Impact Mondesi was reinstated from the injured list Tuesday after missing time with a hamstring injury, but he's now dealing with a side issue. The shortstop will be able to rest during Monday's scheduled day off, but he'll be further evaluated by the team's medical staff to determine the extent of his injury.

Not starting Saturday Mondesi isn't starting Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact Mondesi has homered in each of his last two games, including a mammoth blast in the bottom of the third inning Friday that traveled 464 feet. Nicky Lopez will take over at shortstop and bat ninth.

Adalberto Mondesi 464-foot HR helps Royals beat Red Sox, 5-3 Adalberto Mondesi 464-foot home run helped the Royals beat the Red Sox, 5-3, on Friday in Kansas City. Boston stranded eight runners.

JUNE 19, 2021 • BOSTON.COM

Homers in consecutive games Mondesi went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Friday's 5-3 win over Boston.

Impact Mondesi's second blast in as many games gave Kansas City a 3-1 lead in the third inning. The shortstop has four homers, nine RBI, four runs scored and a stolen base in just nine games this season. While the power shouldn't be expected to last, Mondesi should be able to provide a speed boost as long as he doesn't re-aggravate a hamstring strain that cost him two weeks earlier this month.

Homers in return Mondesi (hamstring) went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to Detroit.

Impact The shortstop missed two weeks with a hamstring strain. In limited time this year, Mondesi has three homers, six RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base. The speedster will likely take on an everyday role going forward if he can stay healthy, which will leave Nicky Lopez and Hanser Alberto as bench options.

Returns to lineup Mondesi is starting Wednesday's game against Detroit, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Impact Mondesi was reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Tigers, but he didn't appear in the loss. He'll start at shortstop and bat fifth Wednesday. Prior to his second stint on the injured list, the 25-year-old hit .360 with two home runs, five RBI and a stolen base across seven games.

JUNE 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Reinstated Tuesday but not starting Mondesi (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

Impact Manager Mike Matheny said earlier Tuesday that Mondesi was "very close" to being activated, and he'll officially rejoin the roster ahead of Tuesday's game. He's not in the starting lineup for the middle game of the set against Detroit, but he figures to return to the top or middle of the Royals' order in coming days. Ronald Bolanos was moved to the 10-day IL with a right flexor strain in a corresponding roster move.

Nearing return Mondesi (hamstring) is running well and almost ready to be activated from the injured list, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Impact Mondesi is "very close," according to manager Mike Matheny. The Royals' skipper added that Monday was the first day Mondesi ran without favoring his left hamstring, which he strained May 31. It's unclear exactly when the 25-year-old will be activated, but Matheny's update suggests it will be within the next few days.

Royals News: Kansas City Gets Good News on Adalberto Mondesi Injury Update The Kansas City Royals got good news regarding shortstop Adalberto Mondesi's latest injury update.

JUNE 11, 2021 • FANDUEL.COM

Took batting practice Tuesday Mondesi (hamstring) took batting practice and did some other work Tuesday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Impact Manager Mike Matheny said Mondesi appeared to be moving well. As critical as the young shortstop's absence is, the Royals will surely exercise caution in timing his return from his second IL stint of the season.

JUNE 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to IL The Royals placed Mondesi on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a left hamstring strain.

Impact Mondesi initially tweaked the hamstring in Monday's game against the Pirates, but the Royals waited six days before officially deactivating him when he didn't recover from the injury as quickly as hoped. Now on the shelf for a second time this season after missing the first seven weeks while recovering from an oblique injury, Mondesi's health is becoming a growing concern. The Royals haven't indicated when Mondesi might be ready to return from his latest setback, but whenever he's back in action, the lower-body concerns could prompt him to take a more conservative approach on the basepaths to avoid an aggravation. Nicky Lopez will likely be Mondesi's primary replacement in the middle infield until he's reinstated from the IL.

Still sidelined Saturday Mondesi (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Impact Despite his Monday removal being dubbed precautionary by manager Mike Matheny, Mondesi hasn't played since then. Having not placed the 25-year-old on the injured list, the Royals must expect him to return within a few days, but his exact status may remain unclear until he appears in a lineup once again. Nicky Lopez will fill in at shortstop Saturday.

JUNE 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out of lineup Friday Mondesi (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Twins.

Impact Mondesi hasn't played since leaving Monday's game against the Pirates with a hamstring issue. Per Alec Lewis of The Athletic, whether Mondesi is available off the bench Friday will depend on how he fares in pregame activities. Nicky Lopez will get the start at shortstop and bat ninth against Minnesota.

JUNE 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out of lineup Mondesi (hamstring) isn't starting Thursday's game against the Twins.

Impact Mondesi was removed from Monday's game as a precautionary measure and was reportedly feeling better Tuesday, but he'll miss a second straight contest due to his hamstring issue. Hanser Alberto will start at shortstop and bat eighth.

Sidelined by hamstring Mondesi (hamstring) is not starting Tuesday against the Pirates, Lynn Worthy of The Kansas City Star reports.

Impact According to manager Mike Matheny, Mondesi was feeling better Tuesday morning after being removed, reportedly as a precaution, from Monday's contest with a hamstring issue. It remains unclear how soon the shortstop will be able to return to action, but Matheny's update suggests the injury is nothing too significant.

Tweaks hamstring late Mondesi exited Monday's game against the Pirates after feeling a "little tweak" in his hamstring, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Impact The speedster went 2-for-3 with a two-run blast before leaving the contest. Mondesi's removal appears to have been precautionary, but it'll be unclear how serious the hamstring issue is until the Royals provide further updates. He has hit .360 with two homers, three doubles, one steal and 10 strikeouts in 25 at-bats since making his 2021 debut May 25.

Blasts first home run Mondesi went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a stolen base during Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Twins.

Impact The 25-year-old took Taylor Rogers deep with a two-run shot during the ninth inning for his first homer of the season, which brought the Royals within a run. Mondesi is 7-for-18 with a home run, three doubles, three RBI and a stolen bases through five games since being activated from the injured list Tuesday.

MAY 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Two doubles in season debut Mondesi went 2-for-4 with two doubles in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Rays.

Impact Making his belated season debut due to an oblique injury, Mondesi appeared to be 100 percent as he ripped two-baggers from both sides of the plate, one off Rich Hill and the other against Pete Fairbanks. The 25-year-old shortstop can be very streaky, and a big surge from Mondesi to try and make up for lost time would not be a surprise.

Impact The Royals have been very cautious with their young shortstop, who's been out with a strained right oblique since late March. Manager Mike Matheny said the Royals wanted to take "every minute they have" when it comes to the decision to activate Mondesi, so his status might not become clear until after the team releases its lineup. If he's not active Tuesday, however, it looks as though he'll be back within the next few days.

Progresses in rehab Mondesi (oblique) has been transferred to Triple-A Omaha to continue his rehab assignment Tuesday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Impact The move marks one step closer toward Mondesi's looming return to big-league action. The switch hitter likely would have been activated by now if not for his lefty swing being a bit behind in the rehab, but the move to Triple-A suggests Mondesi is swinging comfortably from both sides of the plate.
