The Royals open a series at Toronto Thursday night. First pitch is set for 6:07 pm. You can hear the game on KVOE 1400AM/96.9FM.
The Royals will be without 10 regular players for their four-game series in Toronto because they are not vaccinated against COVID-19, which is required before entering Canada.
Infielders Whit Merrifield and Hunter Dozier; outfielders Andrew Benintendi, Michael A. Taylor and Kyle Isbel; catchers MJ Melendez and Cam Gallagher; starting pitchers Brad Keller and Brady Singer; and reliever Dylan Coleman were placed on the restricted list, meaning they will lose pay and service time for four days.
The players who will take those roster spots will be announced Thursday.
