Julio Rodríguez - Fine after collisionRodriguez said that he was completely fine after colliding with the outfield wall during Monday's Cactus League game against the White Sox, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports...

ImpactRodriguez got jammed up against the wall while attempting to rob a homer on Monday, and while he stayed in the game initially, he was subbed out in favor of Cade Marlowe an inning later. The 21-year-old stated that he jammed his right arm and got the wind knocked out of him, but no injury was suffered. Rodriguez is one of the most exciting young talents in baseball, and everyone can breathe a sigh of relief that his exit was just precautionary.

Taylor Clarke - Tending to lower-body injuryRoyals manager Matt Quatraro said Monday that Clarke 's throwing progression will be slowed down after the right-hander experienced lower-body soreness in a bullpen session Sunday,...

ImpactThough Quatraro said Clarke's progression will be slowed a bit, the skipper added that the 29-year-old should be ready to pitch in Cactus League games within a week. Clarke was a solid, if unspectacular, performer for the Royals in 2022, accruing a 4.04 ERA and notching three saves while covering 49 innings out of the bullpen. He projects to fill a middle-innings role during the upcoming campaign.

Aroldis Chapman - Injures mouth in home accidentChapman required stitches on a split lip and suffered a cracked tooth after he slipped and fell at his house Saturday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

ImpactChapman doesn't appear to be in any danger of missing extended time after the home accident, as he's expected to throw a bullpen session Tuesday before getting into a Cactus League game soon thereafter. The reliever joined the Royals on a one-year deal last month after spending the last six and a half seasons with the Yankees. The left-hander will look to recapture some of his former glory in 2023 after struggling to a career-worst 4.46 ERA and 1.43 WHIP over 36.1 innings in 43 appearances with New York in 2022. Chapman is guaranteed $3.75 million on his deal, but the contract could escalate to a total value of $8.75 million based on performance bonuses for appearances and games finished. The Royals haven't formally clarified their plans for Chapman, but he could challenge Scott Barlow for the closer's role.
