Royals manager Matt Quatraro described India's quad tightness as "mild" following Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Guardians, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Quatraro said India was eventually removed from the game because it wasn't loosening up throughout the contest. India will presumably undergo further testing to determine the extent of the injury. India went 0-for-2 at the plate with one walk before being replaced by Drew Waters in the sixth inning.

Robert went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Red Sox.

Robert tied the game in the sixth inning with his first homer of the season and then swiped a base and scored the game-winning run in the ninth. Despite Saturday's heroics, the 27-year-old is slashing just .178/.269/.267 with one home run, four RBI and seven runs scored across 54 plate appearances this season. On the bright side, he is currently tied for the AL lead in steals with six.

Jobe (1-0) picked up the win Saturday, allowing two hits and a walk over six scoreless innings in a 4-0 victory over the Twins. He struck out two.

The rookie right-hander put the first two batters he faced on base before locking in and retiring the next 13 Minnesota hitters. Jobe tossed 54 of 87 pitches for strikes en route to his first win in the majors, and his first quality start. The 22-year-old will take a 3.00 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 9:8 K:BB through 15 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come at home next week against the Royals.

Urias singled in his lone at-bat Saturday against the Blue Jays.

Urias came off the bench as a pinch hitter for Ryan O'Hearn in the eighth inning and singled on a groundball before being replaced by Jorge Mateo as a pinch runner. While Urias is batting .343 with one double, five RBI and four walks over 39 plate appearances so far this season, he remains likely to struggle for at-bats while Gunnar Henderson, Jordan Westburg and Jackson Holliday are all healthy in the Orioles' infield.

Rasmussen did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 5-4 loss to Atlanta, allowing four hits and one walk with seven strikeouts over five scoreless innings.

Rasmussen was sharp, generating 10 whiffs on 80 pitches and exiting with a 2-0 lead before the Rays' bullpen let it slip away. He has been dominant to open the season, posting a 0.60 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 15:2 K:BB across 15 innings. The only knock on the 29-year-old so far is his workload, as he has yet to pitch beyond the fifth frame in any of his three starts. Even so, he'll aim to stay hot in a home matchup with the Yankees next week.

India left Saturday's game against Cleveland in the sixth inning due to right quadriceps tightness, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.

Per Anne Rogers of MLB.com, India looked to be in discomfort in the dugout after running out his groundout in the third inning, but he stayed in the game before being removed in the sixth. India will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury.

Cano picked up his second hold of the season Saturday against the Blue Jays after giving up one hit in a scoreless seventh inning.

Cano threw six of his nine pitches Saturday for strikes without registering a punchout, and Toronto was able to scratch an inherited runner across via a Bo Bichette groundout. Although Cano has no save opportunities so far this season, the right-hander has yielded just two hits and zero walks while fanning six across five shutout frames. Cano should remain one of Baltimore's primary setup men ahead of closer Felix Bautista going forward, although that role likely won't translate to much fantasy appeal outside of leagues that record holds.

Aranda went 3-for-3 with a home run, three RBI and two walks in Saturday's 5-4 loss to Atlanta.

Aranda was a force at the plate, reaching base in all five trips and driving in runs in the third, seventh and ninth innings. He's off to a scorching start, hitting .378 with two home runs, seven RBI and six runs scored across 44 plate appearances. The 26-year-old boasts a 95.7 mph average exit velocity this season and has only been limited by a platoon role, logging just five plate appearances against left-handed pitching.

Miller earned the save in Friday's 3-1 win over the Mets. He allowed one hit while striking out one batter in a scoreless ninth inning.

Miller needed 15 pitches (11 strikes) to get through the ninth inning, with his only blemish coming on a two-out single by Tyrone Taylor. Miller has registered a save in each of his last three outings and is up to four on the year. He has yet to give up a run across five innings of work, recording nine strikeouts against just one walk.

Ginn (1-0) came away with the win against the Mets on Saturday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks while striking out six across 5.1 innings.

Ginn was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas and was named as the starter for Saturday's game. He was able to navigate through some sticky situations through the first five innings, but he couldn't maintain the shutout, giving up a solo home run to Brandon Nimmo in the sixth. Ginn was two outs shy from registering the quality start, but it was still an excellent outing for the 25-year-old right-hander in what was the seventh major-league start in his career. Ginn is slated to start next week on the road against the Brewers.
