In the midst of a seven-game losing streak, the Royals added injury to insult on Monday. The team announced second baseman Jonathan India has been placed on the Injured List with a left-shoulder subluxation. The team has called up Nick Loftin from Omaha to replace him.
India has continued his struggles from last year, hitting just .167/.310/.313 in 17 games this year. He also suffered a left shoulder subluxation last June.
Loftin was up earlier this year and hit 2-for-9 (.222) with two walks and a double. The 27-year-old utility player hit .303/.385/.455 in nine games with Omaha.
