Royals SS Mondesi on IL with shoulder injury

Kansas City Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, one day after partially dislocating his left shoulder in Tuesday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Mondesi suffered the injury while diving for a foul popup from Chicago's Yolmer Sanchez in the fifth inning. He didn't make the catch and was holding his left arm while leaving the field.

Mondesi has been enjoying a solid season, batting .266 with seven homers, 52 RBIs and a major league-leading 31 stolen bases in 82 games. Kansas City recalled infielder Humberto Arteaga from Triple-A Omaha to replace Mondesi. Arteaga batted .237 with one RBI in 11 games with the Royals earlier this season.

Also, right-hander Jake Newberry was optioned to Omaha to clear a roster spot for left-hander Mike Montgomery, who was acquired from the Chicago Cubs on Monday in exchange for catcher Martin Maldonado. Newberry went 1-0 with 3.74 ERA in 16 appearances for the Royals this season. Montgomery was 1-2 with a 5.67 ERA in 20 appearances for the Cubs.
