The KC Royals have made a move before beginning their four-game series with Detroit.
When the KC Royals started the season, there were likely some surprises on the roster for opening day. One of the biggest surprises, though, may have been that outfielder Kyle Isbel was going to be starting in right field.
He put up impressive numbers in spring training, slashing .333/.420/.548, but due to the lack of a minor league season in 2020, he had never played above A+ ball. He did make great strides at the alternate site camp, but he was untested in the higher levels of the minor leagues.
