Cuthbert (wrist, foot) was activated from the disabled list Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Cuthbert tore through a rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha, collecting hits in all six games he played in while knocking three homers in the process. Ramon Torres was sent back to the minors in a corresponding move, leaving Cuthbert to serve as the Royals' utility infielder off the bench.

Cuthbert (wrist, foot) will resume his rehab assignment at Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cuthbert had been batting .212 over nine games in his rehab assignment at Omaha before he was shut down last week after fouling a ball off his foot. With any soreness he was experiencing having since subsided, Cuthbert will look to get some more at-bats under his belt before likely being activated later in August. Once that happens, the Royals will likely have to decide if they want to keep Cuthbert or Ramon Torres with the big club as a utility infielder off the bench.

Cuthbert (wrist) suffered a setback during his rehab assignment this week, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
He had been on pace to be activated from the disabled list by the end of the month, but Cuthbert's recent setback will extend his stay on the DL. Cuthbert had been slashing .212/.350/.394 with one home run during his rehab stint prior to the setback. The Royals figure to have an updated timeline for his return in the coming days.

The Royals are in no rush to bring Cuthbert (wrist) back, and he'll continue seeing regular playing time in Triple-A Omaha for the time being, Tony Boone of the Omaha World-Herald reports
EDGE Analysis
The backup infielder wasn't exactly lighting it up in his 33 MLB games this season (.196/.221/.272) before hurting his wrist. Cuthbert really has no place to play with the Royals anyway, as he's blocked by better talent at every position, so there's no reason not to let the 24-year-old get extra at-bats in Omaha.

Cuthbert (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Omaha on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Cuthbert has been held out of action since June 25 with the sprained left wrist, so he'll likely require a few additional rehab games beyond Monday before the Royals feel comfortable bringing him off the 10-day disabled list. The 24-year-old could displace Ramon Torres as the Royals' top utility infielder once he's cleared to return.

Cuthbert (wrist) will start a rehab assignment after the All-Star break, Rustin Dodd of The Kansas City Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
He hit live batting practice Friday for the first time since landing on the DL, and will soon progress to game action. Once healthy he will reassume his role as the Royals' primary backup infielder.

Cuthbert was placed on the 10-day disabled list Wednesday with a sprained left wrist.
EDGE Analysis
Rather than adding a reserve infielder to fill Cuthbert's spot, the Royals will recall outfielder Jorge Soler from Triple-A Omaha. With a .196/.221/.272 batting line on the season, Cuthbert may have been on track for a demotion to the minors anyway had he not been diagnosed with the injury.

Cuthbert went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a run during Wednesday's win over Houston.
EDGE Analysis
Cuthbert has played sparingly and posted a .203/.224/.297 slash line through just 76 plate appearances this season. The 26-year-old infielder needs more playing time to be a viable fantasy option, but his results at the plate don't warrant it.

Cuthbert went 2-for-4 with two RBI and one run in Wednesday's loss to the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
The reserve infielder hasn't seen the field much lately, playing in just four of the team's last 18 contests. Cuthbert hit a lackluster .222 (8-for-36) in May, but did manage three doubles and five RBI in his limited time. Outside of deep daily formats and AL-only leagues, the 24-year-old doesn't offer much fantasy value.
