The Royals acquired India (ankle) and Joey Wiemer in exchange for Brady Singer on Friday. India enjoyed a strong 2024 season with the Reds while serving as their primary second baseman. However, with Matt McLain and Christian Encarnacion-Strand back from injury, there was a projected playing time squeeze along Cincinnati's infield. India should immediately slot into the starting second base job with the Royals and should have the chance to hit in a prominent spot in the lineup.

Reds president of baseball operations Nick Krall said Tuesday that India had surgery to "clean up" his ankle after the season ended, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports. India's procedure is considered a minor one that will allow him to have a normal offseason and be ready for spring training. Nonetheless, the Reds have a number of underlying issues in the infield heading into 2025, including where to deploy India upon the return of Matt McLain, who missed the entire 2024 season after undergoing shoulder surgery and then suffering a stress reaction to his rib cage.

India (head) will start at second base and bat leadoff in Friday's game versus the Cubs. India had to exit Tuesday's contest against the Guardians after being hit in the head by a pitch and did not play Wednesday. However, he cleared concussion protocol and is ready to roll after the Reds' team off day Thursday.

India (head) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians. India was lifted from Tuesday's 6-1 loss after being hit in the helmet by a pitch a couple innings after his final plate appearance of the night and is being evaluated under the concussion protocol. The Reds haven't confirmed that India has been diagnosed with a concussion, so while he'll step out of the lineup Wednesday, he can be considered day-to-day heading into the club's season-ending series with the Cubs this weekend. Santiago Espinal will check in for India at second base in the series finale in Cleveland.

India went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 8-3 win over the Pirates. India went deep in the fourth inning, his 15th home run of the season and first in 14 games. He's hit safely in seven of the last nine contests, going 10-for-32 (.313) with five walks, four extra-base hits, five RBI and five runs scored during that stretch.
