Homer in the fourth extended KC’s lead to 3-0, underscoring the middle of the order’s power. While the bullpen wavered late, India’s production remains a steady source of RBIs and pop for rest-of-season lineups.

India returned from IL with limited plate discipline but offered a spark in a Royals offense trying to stabilize, with time to carve out consistent at-bats.

India has 539 PA with 88 OPS+, a data point for potential rebound if KC’s offense heats up; his production could stabilize the lineup and offer a reliable fantasy floor amid KC’s growing pains.

India slides to 2B as KC adds a midseason acquisition who has already produced a 154 wRC+ across 24 Royals games. His presence boosts KC’s middle-infield protection and lineup depth during the wild-card push, complementing Yaz atop the order. India’s bat control and contact skills give fantasy managers a steady floor with upside for RBI and runs in this critical stretch.

India offers cheap, high-run-scoring potential at the top of Kansas City's order, with 6-for-16 against Corbin in career matchups. A leadoff seat and speed complementary to Royals’ power potential makes him a key bargain target on the slate.
