India (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
India will be relegated to the bench for the second game in a row while he manages a left shoulder subluxation. According to MLB.com, manager Matt Quatraro said that India will be available off the bench Sunday, so the Royals don't appear to be viewing the shoulder issue as something that will send the 28-year-old to the injured list.

India (shoulder) isn't starting against the Athletics on Saturday, but he could be available off the bench, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
India suffered a shoulder subluxation and was removed from Friday's matchup against the A's, and the issue will keep him out of the starting nine Saturday. However, the injury doesn't appear to be severe given manager Matt Quatraro's indication that the second baseman may be able to enter off the bench. Nick Loftin is getting a start at second base in India's absence Saturday.

India was removed from Friday's game against the Athletics with an apparent shoulder injury, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
A trainer came out to look at India's shoulder after the 28-year-old dove for a ball in the sixth inning. He initially remained in the game but didn't take the field for the start of the seventh inning. An update on his status may come after Friday's contest, but fantasy managers can consider him day-to-day for now.

India went 3-for-9 with a home run, two RBI and two total runs scored as the Royals split Thursday's doubleheader versus the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
India's second homer of the year was a leadoff blast off Miles Mikolas to begin the matinee game. India had gone 11 games without an extra-base hit prior to Thursday, batting .263 (10-for-38) with three walks, one RBI and five runs scored in that span. The light-hitting infielder is now at a .248/.332/.322 slash line with 15 RBI, 24 runs scored, 10 doubles and no stolen bases on three attempts over 56 games this season. Despite his lackluster production, he remains in the leadoff spot for the Royals.
