Moose day to day with bruised left clavicle

KANSAS CITY -- Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas left Saturday's 3-2 win over the Cardinals prior to the bottom of the fifth inning and was replaced by Christian Colon.

Club officials indicated that Moustakas exited with a left clavicle contusion, but manager Ned Yost didn't seem too concerned about his third baseman missing much time.

"He's fine, just a bruise," Yost said. "The trainers were a little nervous at the beginning because it was getting sore. They didn't know what it was, but they came in and X-rayed it, and everything came up clean."

Moustakas was injured in the second inning when a grounder by Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina took a high hop and nailed the third baseman near his throat/chest.

Moustakas went 1-for-2 at the plate, including a double in the first inning. He leads the Royals with a .335 average.

As to Moustakas' availability for Sunday's I-70 Series finale, Yost left it open.

"It's pretty sore," Yost said. "We'll have to wait and see how he feels tomorrow."

Colon singled to center field in one at-bat prior to the rain delay. He is batting .283 with 17 hits and four RBIs in 20 games this season.
