Kyle Isbel Stats

The Kansas City Royals placed relief pitcher Amir Garrett and outfielder Kyle Isbel on the injured list on Thursday. No injury designation was given, suggesting they have landed on the COVID-19 injured list. Right-handed pitcher Dylan Coleman and outfielder Brewer Hicklen were recalled from Triple-A in corresponding moves. Garrett has had a rocky first season with the Royals so far, pitching to a 4.61 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP over 16 appearances. Isbel, meanwhile is slashing .276/.295/.345 over 24 games with four doubles, two stolen bases and zero home runs.

Kansas City Royals outfielder Kyle Isbel had a memorable game in the team's 10-7 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday. He went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, two RBI and three runs scored. The home run was the first of his career. The 24-year-old made his MLB debut on Opening Day this year and kicked off his big league career with a pair of multi-hit efforts. He struggled after that and was demoted to Triple-A in late April. He was recalled by the team this past Sunday after Michael A. Taylor was placed on the family medical emergency list. Isbel may not stay up in the majors much longer unless he can have a few more games like he did on Tuesday.

Kansas City Royals outfielder Kyle Isbel had an impressive MLB debut on Opening Day against the Texas Rangers. Isbel went 3-for-5 with three singles, two RBI and a run while striking out twice. He batted seventh in the game and played right field. It appears as if Isbel will be the team's primary right fielder to start the year. He's someone worth keeping an eye on in deep leagues and AL-only leagues. The 24-year-old doesn't have the most impressive minor league resume. Over 52 games at High-A in 2019, he slashed .216/.282/.361 with five home runs, 23 RBI, 26 runs and eight stolen bases. Don't rush to the waiver wire to add him, but if he stays hot and you're in need of outfield help, he's worth consideration.
