Cleared to start Sunday India (forearm/wrist) will serve as the Royals' designated hitter and leadoff batter in Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact India suffered a left wrist/forearm contusion when he was struck by a pitch in the third inning of Saturday's 4-2 loss, but he apparently made enough progress overnight to rejoin the lineup for the series finale. With India occupying the DH spot, the Royals will have Adam Frazier pick up a start at the keystone.

Removed after HBP India was removed from Saturday's game against the Blue Jays after getting hit on the elbow by a pitch, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.

Impact India was able to run for himself and play defense after taking a 95-mph fastball off his left elbow in the third inning, but he was lifted for a pinch hitter when it was his turn to hit again in the fifth. The Royals will take a closer look at him to determine the severity of the injury, but the fact that he initially remained in the game suggests the damage isn't severe.
