The Kansas City Royals have placed starter Seth Lugo on the seven-day concussion injured list after he was hit in the face by a comebacker from Brandon Nimmo, resulting in headaches and increased head pressure. Right-hander Eli Morgan has been called up from Triple-A Omaha to bolster the bullpen. The Royals are already missing two other starters, Cole Ragans and Kris Bubic, due to elbow issues, with Bubic facing further testing for shoulder discomfort. As they prepare for their weekend series against the Astros, the Royals face a challenge in filling their rotation, as no suitable candidates are available from their minor league system.
