| News: Dyson returned to Kansas City on Friday for an MRI on his sprained ankle, the Kansas City Star reports. | Impact: Dyson was placed on the DL earlier in the day and indicated his ankle felt worse Friday after he exited Wednesday's game with the injury. He should have a firmer timetable for return after team doctors take a closer look at the injury.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: The Kansas City Royals placed Dyson on the disabled list with a sprained right ankle Friday. | Impact: The speedy Dyson hurt his ankle Wednesday night against the Angels while attempting to scale the outfield wall and rob Mike Trout of a home run. He was forced to leave the game in the eighth inning and an examination by the medical staff revealed the sprain. Dyson was hitting .268 with a homer and eight RBIs, but had provided a spark for a struggling offense with his ability to cause problems on the base paths.(STATS, 3:00pm) |

| News: Dyson (ankle) has been placed on the 15-day DL. | Impact: David Lough has been recalled from Triple-A Omaha to replace Dyson on the roster, while the Royals have not indicated if Dyson will require more than the 15-day DL minimum to recover from his sprain.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Dyson was diagnosed with a sprained ankle, the Kansas City Star reports. He injured himself while scaling the wall attempting to catch Mike Trout's home run in the eighth inning of Wednesday's win over the Angels. | Impact: The team said he would be re-evaluated Thursday as x-rays were negative but they would wait to see if an MRI was necessary. They have listed him as day to day. Dyson was just handed the starting center field job, so the timing here couldn't have been worse.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Dyson appeared to hurt his ankle or lower leg while scaling the wall in an attempt to catch Mike Trout's homer in the eighth inning of Wednesday's game. | Impact: Dyson was able to walk off the field, but given how much of his game is predicated on his legs, this is a bothersome injury. He had just started to work his way into more playing time, making this a crummy timing injury.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Dyson started in center field for the fourth time in six games on Monday and served as the leadoff hitter for the second game in a row. He went 2-for-6 with a double, one RBI, a run scored and a stolen base against the Angels. | Impact: With Jeff Francoeur mired in his usual slump, Dyson has been afforded the chance to play more as manager Ned Yost continues to make changes to his regular lineup. Dyson is batting .270 with six stolen bases over 37 plate appearances. He could still stand to draw a walk every now and again, but perhaps with increased playing time and work atop the batting order, he'll have more opportunity to improve his patience and plate discipline.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Dyson went 1-for-3 and connected for his first home run of the season, a three-run shot, off Phil Hughes in the second inning of the Royals' 11-6 loss to the Yankees on Friday. | Impact: The home run was Dyson's first since September 2010, the year he had three down in Triple-A. This was his first on the major league level. Dyson has been mixed into the lineup a little more often over the last few games as manager Ned Yost continues to try and shake things up a bit. If he can continue to get at least semi-regular playing time, his speed potential makes him an intriguing choice in AL-only leagues as he already has five stolen bases over the 13 games in which he's played.(RotoWire, ) |
