The Kansas City Royals placed second baseman Jonathan India on the 10-day injured list Monday with a sprained left wrist.

India, 28, has not played since Friday when he went 0-for-4 against the Detroit Tigers. He is batting .232 with eight home runs and 41 RBIs in 124 games his first season with the Royals.

A career .249 hitter, India has 71 home runs and 270 RBIs over 647 games with the Cincinnati Reds (2021-24) and Royals.

The Royals also activated outfielder/first baseman Jac Cagliaone off the injured list as rosters expanded to 28 on Monday, while recalling right-hander Luinder Avila and catcher Carter Jansen, who is the team's No. 2 overall prospect, according to MLB Pipeline.

Cagliaone, 22, was the sixth overall pick of the 2024 draft. He is batting just .147 with five homers and 10 RBIs in 41 games since being promoted to the majors and making his debut on June 3.
