Kyle Isbel went 2-for-3 and scored a pair of runs as the Royals triumphed over the visiting Marlins on Thursday evening.

Isbel smacked a one-out single off of Sandy Alcantara in the third inning and raced around to score on Carter Jensen’s RBI triple. He then singled with one out in the fifth and rode home on Isbel’s two-run homer. The 29-year-old outfielder remains an uninspiring option for fantasy purposes, slashing .235/.282/.354 with six homers, 24 RBI and six stolen bases in 269 plate appearances on the season.

Kyle Isbel went 2-for-4 with a homer, double and a pair of RBI as the Royals bested the Tigers in the opener of their three-game weekend series at Kauffman Stadium.

Isbel tagged Tigers’ starter Troy Melton for a 387-foot (100.8-mph EV) solo shot to open the fifth inning, extending the Royals’ lead to 2-0. He then smacked a two-out RBI double off of Ty Madden in the eighth that pushed that advantage to 5-2. On the season, the 29-year-old outfielder is slashing an underwhelming .234/.283/.354 with just five long balls and 19 RBI in 231 plate appearances.

Kyle Isbel (plantar fasciitis) has had his rehab assignment postponed as he continues to experience soreness.

The 29-year-old was diagnosed with a Grade 3 (severe) tear of a portion of the left plantar fasciitis back on June 10th. He was expected to begin a rehab assignment on Tuesday, but he has continued to feel soreness, which has paused that plan until he can be reevaluated. Lane Thomas should continue to see regular playing time with Isbel out.

Kyle Isbel has been diagnosed with a Grade 3 tear of a portion of his left plantar fasciitis.

Not good. Isbel was already placed on the 10-day injured list, but it sounds likely he will miss more than just the minimum amount of time. Kameron Misner and Lane Thomas could form a platoon in center field in Isbel’s absence.

Royals placed OF Kyle Isbel on the 10-day injured list with left foot plantar fasciitis.

Isbel receives some additional time off following an early exit from Tuesday’s contest against the Rangers. It’s worth noting that plantar fasciitis is a complicated injury that only really improves with rest and maintenance. There’s a chance Isbel is out for a while.

Kyle Isbel went 0-for-3 and struck out Tuesday in the loss to the Yankees.

Isbel was unusually productive over the first month of the season, but he’s settled back in at .203/.246/.271 during May. It seems unlikely that the Royals will upgrade in center field this year, but he’s going to need to pick it up if he expects to return in 2027.
