Eligibility
Availability
Jonathan India is expected to see reps in the outfield in camp for the Royals.
Fantasy Impact
The same goes for Michael Massey, both who are primarily infielders. According to Rogers, they are expected to split their work in "three-day chunks." They'll spend a few days in the infield and then a few days in the outfield throughout camp and will likely see playing time in both spots during games.
Jonathan India said he could see playing time at third base and left field alongside second base in spring training.
Fantasy Impact
It is still unclear where India will see most of his at-bats with the Royals, but it appears he'll be utilized in potentially two or three different positions throughout the season. This will be a situation to monitor over the next month.
The Royals have acquired Jonathan India and Joey Wiemer in exchange for Brady Singer.
Fantasy Impact
India was the odd man out in Cincy with multiple players returning from injury in 2025. The veteran should serve as the primary second base for the Royals in 2025.
Jonathan India is in the starting lineup for Reds Friday.
Fantasy Impact
India will start at second base and leadoff against the Cubs. He is hitting .246, with 15 home runs, 58 RBI, and 13 stolen bases this season.
Jonathan India had a productive outing in the Reds' 8-3 victory over the Pirates, going 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored, and an RBI.
Fantasy Impact
His performance included a walk, contributing to the team's offensive surge. This game is a positive note in what has been a somewhat average season for India, who is hitting .247 with 15 homers and 58 RBI over 144 games. His ability to draw walks continues to provide him with opportunities to score, as seen by his 82 runs this season. While his power numbers are respectable, his overall impact in fantasy remains moderate due to his batting average and strikeout rate. However, games like this show his potential to contribute across multiple categories.
