The big news on the Kansas City side dropped Wednesday: Kyle Isbel was diagnosed with a Grade 3 tear of his left plantar fascia and there is no timetable for a return. That's the center fielder and a top-of-the-order spark plug gone for a while, with Kameron Misner getting the call up and Lane Thomas sliding over. The Royals also have Seth Lugo day-to-day after a CT scan came back negative, which is the best news they've had all week.
Houston's IL is its own horror show — Hunter Brown, Lance McCullers Jr., Cristian Javier, Hayden Wesneski and Ronel Blanco are all out, Carlos Correa just had ankle surgery, Yainer Diaz is on a rehab assignment and LaMonte Wade Jr. tweaked a hammy in LA on Monday. That the Astros are still even within shouting distance of .500 is mostly a Yordan Alvarez thing (.316, 22 HR, 48 RBI through Thursday).
Both teams are limping in. The Astros dropped 2 of 3 to the Angels and have lost 3 of their last 5. The Royals won 3 straight, then got punched in the mouth by the Rangers twice in a row at home, including a 4-2 loss Thursday where Corey Seager went deep. Kauffman has been a tough park to score in all year, and with Isbel out the Royals' lineup got shallower fast.
