Munoz exits vs. Royals with right wrist sprain

KANSAS CITY -- Yairo Munoz had to exit Friday's game in the middle of his sixth-inning at-bat due to a right wrist sprain.

At the plate for his third at-bat of the night, Munoz grimaced as he swung and missed at a first-pitch fastball from Royals reliever Glenn Sparkman. That drew out athletic trainer Adam Olsen and interim manager Mike Shildt, and Munoz headed to the dugout after a brief conversation with both.
