Grade 3 plantar fasciitis tear
Isbel has been diagnosed with a Grade 3 tear of a portion of his left plantar fasciitis.
Analysis
It's unclear what this means for Isbel's timetable or if he will undergo surgery, but the nature of the injury points to an extended absence. Isbel was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday and could be a candidate to eventually shift to the 60-day IL. Lane Thomas and Kameron Misner are in line for increased opportunities in center field for the Royals while Isbel is on the shelf.

Placed on IL with plantar fasciitis
The Royals placed Isbel on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with plantar fasciitis in his left foot.
Analysis
Isbel was lifted from Tuesday's game versus the Rangers due to the injury, though it's unclear whether it occurred then or is an issue that's nagged at him. It's unclear how much time Isbel might miss. Lane Thomas will likely see the bulk of the reps in center field for Kansas City while Isbel is sidelined, though Kameron Misner was recalled from Triple-A Omaha and could also be in the mix for playing time.

Out of Wednesday's lineup
Isbel (foot) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.
Analysis
The left-handed-hitting Isbel had to depart Tuesday's contest because of plantar fasciitis in his left foot, though there's a good chance he would not have started Wednesday even if he were healthy, as southpaw MacKenzie Gore is on the bump for the Rangers. Lane Thomas will patrol center field for Kansas City.

Removed with foot injury
Isbel was removed from Tuesday's game against the Rangers due to plantar fasciitis in his left foot.
Analysis
Isbel had gone 1-for-2 with a walk before his foot forced him out of the game in the seventh inning. His injury could require him to spend time on the injured list, though the club hasn't confirmed anything just yet. Lane Thomas and Tyler Tolbert would be next in line to pick up starts in center field during any games Isbel has to miss.
