Will Jonathan India play tonight against Milwaukee Brewers? Latest update on Kansas City Royals star's injury report (April 2, 2025)

The latest updates regarding Jonathan India's availability are keeping fans anxious as the Kansas City Royals lose this battle against the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field. After suffering a head injury during the last match against the Cleveland Guardians, the nerves concerning India's possible play tonight are alive and kicking. The Royals would love to finalize their lineup for a win against Milwaukee and might be heavily relying on India, who has been going well this season.
On March 30, the injury to India occurred during the ninth inning against the Guardians when he was struck on the left side of the face with a 98.9 MPH cutter thrown by closer Emmanuel Clase. The first reports say that it hit the earflap of India's batting helmet and just knocked him down, all while he was holding his face in great torment. There was dead silence in the ballpark as the medical personnel rushed onto the field.

India was awake, however, and left the field with assistance. No concussion was observed during the preliminary evaluation, which was followed by the Royals deciding to execute some more tests for safety so that they could keep him on the field.
The Royals have, so far, remained silent on any official news of him being able to play against the Brewers today. Indeed, the early buzz has confirmed it was a serious injury, and whatever head trauma injury exists would be taken extremely carefully. Whether he does or doesn't depends on their medical staff and the signs they see. If he is cleared to go, then the question arises whether to just throw him right back on the starting lineup at second base or ease him in.
Jonathan India is one of those players who has done much for the Royals early in this season, having started well with an average of .375 and two RBIs. He is a pivotal part of the team's lockdown offense and defense, and this absence is going to shake things a little on the curb of the flow of their teams. In his absence, hurdles in terms of the adjustment of the starting lineup along the infield and batting order will be something the Royals face, involving backup alternatives like Adam Frazier or Michael Massey.
All eyes now remain glued to the Royals' Twitter pages and other official platforms, awaiting news on India's much-anticipated status. An approval from India would indeed be a huge boost to the Kansas City club, but it would have to depend on its depth to now rise to the occasion in his absence.
