KANSAS CITY -- Royals outfielder Jorge Soler was out of Tuesday's starting lineup because of an injury that somewhat defied description.
Royals manager Ned Yost said Soler sustained a "dislocated rib" on his right side after charging in for a fly ball in Monday's game against the Rays and then stopping suddenly and leaping to make the catch.
"That play just kind of dislocated a rib," Yost said. "It's something that will snap back into place, like what a chiropractor would do."
The word "dislocated" created some concern from Royals fans, who thought the injury must be more serious, on Twitter.
