Royals activated OF Kyle Isbel from the 10-day injured list.
Isbel returns to take the roster spot of Lane Thomas after Saturday’s trade with the Braves. The 29-year-old outfielder had been shelved since mid-June due to a Grade-3 plantar fasciitis tear. Prior to landing on the injured list, he was hitting .244/.298/.354 with three homers, 11 RBI and five stolen bases in his first 183 plate appearances.
