India is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Brewers.

It's a routine day off for India, who has now started five of the first seven contests at second base this season. Nick Loftin is handling the keystone and batting eighth in Friday's series opener.

Jensen is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Brewers.

Jensen had to be scratched from Thursday's lineup against the Twins after he overslept, and he remains out of the lineup Friday even as the Brewers are sending a righty in Chad Patrick to the bump. He entered Thursday's game late on defense and presumably will be available off the bench again Friday. Starling Marte is at designated hitter and batting sixth for the Royals on Friday.

Eflin is traveling to receive a second opinion for the MRI he underwent on his right elbow Wednesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Eflin departed his season debut Tuesday against the Rangers due to right elbow discomfort and landed on the injured list a day later. It's unclear what the initial reading of the MRI revealed, but heading for a second opinion is rarely a positive development.

The Royals placed Falter on the 15-day injured list Friday with left elbow inflammation.

Falter was knocked around for three runs while recording just one out in a relief appearance Wednesday versus the Twins, but it seems he might not have been pitching at 100 percent. The lefty will be eligible to return in mid-April, but it's unclear at this juncture how much time he might miss.

Feltner (glute) has been cleared to take his next turn through the rotation, which tentatively lines up to come Monday against the Astros, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

The right-hander departed his season debut Tuesday in Toronto after three scoreless frames due to a right glute contusion from a comebacker, but it won't affect his availability for his next start. Feltner had a 4.75 ERA and 1.48 WHIP while being limited to six starts last season due to back and shoulder injuries.

Pepiot (hip) will throw a bullpen session Friday, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

Pepiot is working his way back from right hip inflammation. The right-hander is eligible for activation from the 15-day injured list Monday at home against the Cubs, and it seems he has a shot to skip a rehab assignment and return on that date.

Lee is not in Friday's starting lineup against the Rays because of an illness, Matthew Leach of MLB.com reports.

He is available off the bench despite missing yesterday's game due to the illness as well. Tristan Gray gets the start at shortstop in his place. Lee is off to a slow start, hitting .154 (2-for-13) with zero homers and just one RBI, and he's at some risk for losing his starting shortstop job this season after an underwhelming 2025 (.655 OPS).

Dollander will pitch Saturday against the Phillies in place of the injured Jose Quintana (hamstring), Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

Dollander is set to handle the lion's share of the workload Saturday, though it could come as a bulk reliever and not a traditional starting pitcher. The right-hander opened the season in the Rockies' bullpen and yielded four runs over a four-inning relief appearance Monday against the Blue Jays. Dollander could get multiple turns either as a starter or bulk reliever while Quintana recuperates.

Beck is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Phillies.

Beck has gone 2-for-16 with a double, a stolen base and four RBI through five games this season and will head to the bench for Friday's series opener versus Philadelphia. Mickey Moniak (finger) was reinstated from the injured list and is starting in place of Beck.

Arraez went 2-for-5 with two runs scored and an RBI triple in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Mets.

Arraez drove in San Francisco's first run with an RBI triple in the first inning before coming around to score. The 28-year-old infielder added a single and another run in the third, marking his second straight multi-hit performance and third on the campaign. Arraez has turned in a strong start to the season, slashing .321/.333/.429 with three runs scored, two RBI and two stolen bases across 30 plate appearances in seven games.
