Royals infielder Raul Mondesi won’t play in a game for at least the next two days as he rests after being knocked to the ground during a collision in a game Friday night.
“We’re just playing it really safe with him,” manager Ned Yost said Saturday.
In the seventh inning of an 11-7 loss to the A’s, Oakland’s Jaff Decker bunted up the first-base line. Mondesi, who was playing second base, ran to cover the bag and was hit by Decker, who was sprinting to beat a throw. Mondesi, 21, was on the ground for a few minutes with Royals trainers attending to him before he walked off the field.
