KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals placed outfielder Edward Olivares on the 10-Day injured list after he exited game one of Sunday’s doubleheader with a quad strain.

In a corresponding move, catcher Sebastian Rivero was recalled.

Olivares joins Carlos Santana, Cam Gallagher, Jake Brentz, Adalberto Mondesi on the 10-day/15-day Injured list.
