Mike Moustakas (calf) is out of action on Tuesday evening and unlikely to return on Wednesday. Moustakas left Monday's game against the Marlins with tightness in his left calf. The young third baseman is expected to avoid the 15-day disabled list but probably won't be available again until the end of this week

Mike Moustakas left Monday's game against the Marlins with tightness in his left calf. It's not clear at this point how severe the ailment is, but the Royals should provide an update on the third baseman's status after the game. Jamey Carroll replaced Moustakas at third base.

Mike Moustakas had four hits, including a double, and two RBI in Monday's rout of the Twins. Moustakas is batting .322 with four homers and 11 RBI in 59 at-bats since the All-Star break. Unfortunately, he's scored just six runs in that span, but that comes with the territory when one hits in the bottom half of the Royals order.

Mike Moustakas went 2-for-4 with a walk and a solo home runs in a win over the Mets on Sunday. Moustakas had gone 0-for-10 with four strikeouts in Kansas City's first two games against the Mets. The third baseman has been relatively productive since June. He posted an .830 OPS last month, with four homers over 75 at-bats. If you believe in his resurgence, grab him in mixed leagues immediately. If Moustakas keeps hitting, he won't be available much longer.

Mike Moustakas went 2-for-3 with a walk, two home runs and four RBI in a win over the Twins on Tuesday. Moustakas, like teammate Eric Hosmer, endured a miserable first two months of the season but rebounded to hit .274 in June. He'd been producing in July until going 1-for-12 over his last four games. The third baseman is batting just .224 and is on pace for 14 homers.

Mike Moustakas went 2-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI in a win over the Orioles on Tuesday. Moustakas endured a miserable first two months of the season but rebounded to hit .274 in June and is batting .268 thus far in July. The power numbers are still lacking -- he has just seven home runs and 19 RBI this year -- but everything else suggests Moustakas' worst days are behind him at this point.

Mike Moustakas headlined a putrid Royals' offensive attack, going 2-for-4 in Friday's loss to the Indians. Moustakas contributed two of the Royals five total hits on the evening, as they were shut out by Corey Kluber and company. While he hasn't lived up to the high expectations, Moustakas has at least picked it up a bit in recent weeks, hitting .283 (28-for-99) over his last 29 games.

Mike Moustakas went 0-for-4 Wednesday in a loss to the Yankees. Moustakas, obviously suffering through an awful campaign, had gone 4-for-11 with one homer and two RBI over three previous games prior to being left out of the lineup on Tuesday. He's batting .213/.272/.331 and could probably use a stint in the minor leagues to clear his head.

Mike Moustakas went 2-for-4 with an RBI double Saturday in a loss to the White Sox. With his third straight multi-hit game, Moustakas' batting average is over .200 for the first time since May 12. There has been plenty of speculation about the Royals sending him down to the minors -- and they had an opportunity when Jarrod Dyson was activated from the disabled list on Saturday -- but it appears he'll get some more time to turn things around.

Mike Moustakas went 0-for-3 and was removed for a pinch-hitter Monday against the Indians. Moustakas had singled in each of his previous five starts, but he hasn't collected an extra-base hit since way back on May 25. The Royals should have sent him down a couple of weeks ago, and they might go that route when they activate Jarrod Dyson from the DL.
