Injury Report

Seven-Day Injured List

  • 3B Hunter Dozier (quad contusion and neck discomfort): After a collision with Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu, Dozier left the game and was placed on the seven-day injured list. Dozier will be eligible to return on Thursday.

10-Day Injured List

  • LHP Danny Duffy (flexor strain): Duffy's move to the injured list was retroactive to May 14. He will rest five days before reassessing his injury, according to Alec Lewis of The Athletic. The 32-year-old has recorded a 1.94 ERA with a 28.2 percent strikeout rate in seven starts and 41 2/3 innings in the final year of his contract.
  • RHP Jesse Hahn (shoulder): Hahn was "very close" to returning from the IL, reported by Lewis, but in his first rehab start at Triple-A Omaha on Wednesday, he walked the first batter and was pulled from the game due to injury. No word yet on the severity.
  • SS Adalberto Mondesi (oblique): After a short sent in Double-A, Mondesi has been transferred to Triple-A Omaha to continue his rehab, according to Lewis, but Mondesi is going to meet Double-A Northwest Arkansas in Springfield, Missouri to play as there is rain in the forecast for the Storm Chasers' games against the Iowa Cubs. MLB.com's Anne Rodgers reports the Royals want him playing as much as possible as his return is near.
