Royals Place Adalberto Mondesi On 10-Day IL

By Mark Polishuk | June 21, 2021 at 12:57pm CDT

12:57PM: The Royals have officially announced the move, with Mondesi sent to the 10-day IL with a strained left oblique.  O’Hearn has been recalled from Triple-A.

12:41PM: Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi looks to be going back onto the 10-day injured list with an oblique injury, GM Dayton Moore told the Kansas City Star’s Lynn Worthy (Twitter links) and other reporters.  First baseman/outfielder Ryan O’Hearn will likely be the Triple-A call-up that replaces Mondesi on the active roster.

Mondesi was removed after six innings in yesterday’s 7-3 Royals victory over the Red Sox due to discomfort in his left side.  This latest oblique injury is on the opposite side of the body from the other oblique strain that sidelined Mondesi at the start of the season, delaying his debut until May 25.

Between that lengthy IL stint and another trip to the injured list for a hamstring strain, Mondesi has appeared in only 10 games all season.  While Mondesi has made the most of that brief playing time by posting a 1.212 OPS in 38 plate appearances, it has thus far been a lost season for the 25-year-old.

Once one of baseball’s top prospects, Mondesi has shown flashes of that potential over his 318 career MLB games, including a torrid stretch last September that saw him post a 1.130 OPS over his last 93 PA.  However, Mondesi’s hot streak was tempered by a miserable .440 OPS in his first 140 PA of the 2020 season, and he has been hampered by injuries both this season and in 2019.  Mondesi has already displayed strong defense, speed, and baserunning skills, so it isn’t out of the question that he could still unlock some superstar-level production with more consistent hitting and if he can just stay on the field.

    Lol and water is wet. At least if you follow Mondesi you’ll have a solid grasp on human anatomy.

    Can anyone think of an example where someone had so many injuries early in their career and went on to be healthy later in their career? Looking for a little hope.

    Fortunate KC has not extended Raul’s son. Talented player when on the field.

    Yet again, what a shame. Extreme talent when he’s on the field, he just doesn’t seem to be able to stay there. What could have been.

        I don’t care if he’s 25 or 30 – this kind of injury history makes him unplayable & undependable. Who is going to sign him for any extended period of time? Extreme high risk.

    He needs to be moved to 3rd. Royals are weak there. Maybe he can stay healthy.

    He could be too twitchy for his own good. Who knows what his regimen is, but pliability seems to be lacking.

    Maybe he only drinks soda. But seriously, the dude has more soft tissue injuries than anyone this side of Stanton or Buxton.

    Maybe he could give hitting tips to Dozier and Soler while he’s off again.
