On Saturday, Royals manager Matt Quatraro announced that Mitchell suffered a hamate bone fracture in his right hand. Mitchell, the club’s No. 2 prospect, is expected to miss 4-6 weeks with the injury. “I don’t think it was an acute thing,” Quatraro said. “I don’t have all the details on that. I think it was something that happened over time.”

Blake Mitchell is in big league camp for the first time, but the former first-round pick will be out of action for awhile. MLB.com reporter Anne Rogers reports the catcher will miss 4-6 weeks with a broken right hamate bone.

Defensively, Jonathan India never played anywhere but second base during the regular season in four years with the Reds.

Caglianone is the Royals No. 1 prospect. He enters his first full professional season after being selected sixth overall in the 2024 MLB Draft. This spring, Caglianone will get a chance to showcase his elite power in Cactus League play.

When the Reds traded away Jonathan India to the Kansas City Royals, it was widely believed that India would take over the starting second base job. On Friday, India made his Royals debut in the Cactus League.
