Three-hit night
Isbel went 3-for-4 with one double, two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's win over the Yankees.
Impact
Isbel was the ninth of 10 consecutive Kansas City batters to reach base to begin the game, belting a bases-loaded double that drove in two runs. The three hits mark just the second time this season Isbel has recorded more than two hits in a game. He enters the final two games of the season slashing .240/.282/.366 with five homers, 34 RBI, 45 runs and seven steals in 91 games and 292 at-bats.

On bench Friday
Isbel is out of the lineup Friday against the Astros.
Impact
MJ Melendez, Drew Waters and Nelson Velazquez will start across the outfield for Kansas City. Isbel has shown a bit more life at the plate in recent weeks, but he is batting just .232/.272/.380 across 81 total major-league games this year.

Impact
Isbel recently missed five games with a tight hamstring but returned to start both Wednesday and Friday, going a combined 1-for-6 with two walks and four strikeouts. He'll retreat to the bench Saturday, with Drew Waters taking over in center field.

Returns to lineup
Isbel (hamstring) is starting in center field and batting eighth Wednesday against the White Sox in his return to the lineup.
Impact
Isbel missed the previous five games with a tight hamstring but is feeling well enough to give it a go in this one. He and his teammates will be squaring off against Touki Toussaint.

ROTOWIRE
Held out again Tuesday
Isbel (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the White Sox.
Impact
Isbel hasn't played since Friday because of a tight hamstring. The Royals consider the injury to be minor and expect Isbel to avoid the injured list, but the longer his absence drags on, the odds of an IL stint certainly increase. Drew Waters is in center field again Tuesday.

Nursing hamstring injury
Isbel hasn't played since Friday due to hamstring rightness, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Impact
Isbel is missing a third straight start Monday, but the hamstring issue is considered mild and his pregame workouts haven't been interrupted. It sounds like he has a good shot to avoid the injured list.

ROTOWIRE
Not in Monday's lineup
Isbel is not in the lineup for Monday's contest versus the White Sox.
Impact
Isbel didn't start Sunday against a lefty and will begin this one on the bench again even as the White Sox are starting right-hander Jesse Scholtens. Drew Waters is in center field and Nelson Velazquez is in right.

ROTOWIRE
Idle against southpaw
Isbel isn't in the Royals' lineup Sunday against the Red Sox.
Impact
Chris Sale will start Sunday's game for the Red Sox, meaning the left-handed bat of Isbel will retreat to the bench for the start of the game. Dairon Blanco will man center field in Isbel's absence and bat ninth.

Sits against another righty
Isbel is not in Saturday's lineup against the Red Sox.
Impact
Isbel will head to the bench despite having the platoon advantage (against Tanner Houck) for the second time in the last three games against right-handed pitchers after starting regularly against righties prior to Aug. 29. The righty-hitting Nelson Velazquez has been getting more starts in the outfield recently while the Royals cycle players through the designated hitter slot.

Sitting versus righty
Isbel is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.
Impact
The 26-year-old will usually sit against left-handed pitchers, but he'll take a seat Tuesday despite Pittsburgh's opener (Colin Selby) and expected bulk pitcher (Luis Ortiz) both being right-handed. It is Isbel's second absence in Kansas City's past nine games, and he's gone 5-for-21 with a home run and five RBI during that span. Drew Waters will man center field while Dairon Blanco and Nelson Velazquez start in the corner outfield.

Swats homer Friday
Isbel went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk and three total RBI in Friday's 7-5 loss to the Mariners.
Impact
Isbel was productive from the bottom of the order with an RBI single in the second inning and a two-run blast in the seventh. This was his fifth multi-hit effort in August, and he's now batting .290 (18-for-62) with 11 RBI over 20 contests this month. The outfielder is at a .246/.277/.394 slash line with five homers, 27 RBI, 32 runs scored and six stolen bases through 71 contests while maintaining a regular role in center field.

ROTOWIRE
Heads to bench Wednesday
Isbel is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.
Impact
Isbel will be the odd man out of the Kansas City outfield while MJ Melendez, Drew Waters and Dairon Blanco form the Royals' starting trio from left to right. The move to the bench comes while Isbel has enjoyed a productive run at the dish over the past five games, going 5-for-14 with a double, a walk, four RBI and two runs.
AUGUST 23, 2023

ROTOWIRE
Not in starting nine
Isbel will be on the bench Saturday against the Cubs.
Impact
Isbel sits after starting seven straight games. He's hitting .252/.270/.389 in 40 games since returning from a hamstring injury in late June, which represents only a modest improvement from the .209/.250/.352 line he recorded prior to the injury. Drew Waters starts in center field Saturday.

Gets aboard three times
Isbel went 2-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 12-8 win over the Cardinals.
Impact
Isbel was productive out of the No. 9 spot in the order again. He's hit safely in four straight games, going 5-for-14 with two steals, two RBI and four runs scored in that span. Long-term consistency has been a struggle for the outfielder this year -- he has just one other hitting streak of four or more games in 2023. Isbel is slashing .232/.263/.384 with six steals, four home runs, 18 RBI and 27 runs scored over 60 contests.
