India is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
India will receive a routine day off after he had started and batted out of the leadoff spot in each of the Royals' last 12 games. Drew Waters will cover left field for India on Wednesday, while third baseman Maikel Garcia will assume table-setting duties.

India went 2-for-5 with a home run in Sunday's 11-6 win over Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
India hit his first home run of the season and first in 38 games. He's had a miserable start to the season by hitting .212/.328/.265 with just five RBI and 12 runs before Sunday's game despite batting mostly leadoff. Perhaps Sunday's game will finally get his bat going.

India is out of the lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader with the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
India had been scheduled to sit out Wednesday's matchup with right-hander German Marquez before the game was rained out, so it's not especially surprising that the 28-year-old finds himself on the bench for Game 1 of the twin bill while Marquez takes the hill for the Rockies. Expect India to be back in the lineup for the second game of the day.

India is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
India returned to action Monday after sitting out Sunday's contest with right quad tightness. It's not yet clear whether he has had a setback or if this is just maintenance.

India (quadricep) will serve as the Royals' designated hitter and leadoff batter in Monday's game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
He'll re-enter starting nine after he sat out his first game of the season in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Guardians while tending to right quad tightness. The Royals will ease India back into the lineup in a non-defensive role, but he should be ready to resume playing in left field or at third base within the next few days.

India (quadricep) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
India will head to the bench after he was removed in the sixth inning of Saturday's 6-3 loss due to right quad tendinitis, an injury the 28-year-old disclosed that he had been nursing for a few days before aggravating it while running the bases, per Anne Rogers of MLB.com. After the game, India downplayed any concern about the issue and said that he expected to be available off the bench Sunday even if he didn't start. Maikel Garcia will pick up the start at third base and serve as the Royals' leadoff hitter Sunday.

Royals manager Matt Quatraro described India's quad tightness as "mild" following Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Guardians, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Quatraro said India was eventually removed from the game because it wasn't loosening up throughout the contest. India will presumably undergo further testing to determine the extent of the injury. India went 0-for-2 at the plate with one walk before being replaced by Drew Waters in the sixth inning.
