Triple-A Omaha placed Kudrna on its 7-day injured list Tuesday due to right elbow discomfort, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Kudrna suffered the elbow injury during his 2026 debut this past Sunday, when he yielded two runs on two hits and four walks while striking out two across two innings. He'll get a second opinion on his injury before the Royals provide an updated timeline for his return to the mound.
