Royals' Jonathan India has season-ending labral repair surgery
Kansas City Royals infielder Jonathan India underwent successful season-ending labral repair surgery on April 28, 2026, cutting short his second season with the team. The 2021 National League Rookie of the Year played in just 17 games this season, batting .167 with two home runs. India, previously with the Cincinnati Reds for four seasons, was acquired by the Royals in November 2024 in a trade involving pitcher Brady Singer. His absence leaves a gap in the Royals' lineup for the remainder of the season.
