KANSAS CITY -- Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas left Saturday's game prior to the bottom of the fifth inning and was replaced by Christian Colon.
Club officials indicated that Moustakas exited with a left clavicle contusion and is considered day to day.
Moustakas was injured in the second inning when a grounder by Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina took a high hop and nailed the third baseman near his throat.
Moustakas went 1-for-2 at the plate, including a double in the first inning.
