• Royals' Isaac Collins: Ready to play Wednesday

  Rotowire Mar 18, 2026

  Collins (side/back) will start at designated hitter and bat leadoff in Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Rangers. Collins will return to the lineup for the first time since March 10 after being slowed by mild back and left side tightness over the past week. Prior to missing time, Collins had already logged 20 plate appearances in spring training, so he'll likely need to play in just a couple more games for the Royals to feel comfortable carrying him on the Opening Day roster.

• Royals' Isaac Collins: Dealing with back/side tightness

  Rotowire Mar 13, 2026

  Collins has been dealing with mild back/left side tightness since Tuesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports. Collins has been idle the last few days, and the Royals are being cautious with the 28-year-old, according to Rogers. Acquired from the Brewers over the offseason, Collins has had a slow spring at the plate, slashing .111/.200/.167 across 20 plate appearances. He's competing for at-bats with Lane Thomas and Starling Marte.

• Royals' Isaac Collins: Slow start to spring

  Rotowire Mar 2, 2026

  Collins went 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's Cactus League win over the Brewers. Collins notched his first Cactus League hit, lining an opposite-field double off Craig Yoho in the fifth inning. Kansas City slow-played the left fielder at the outset of camp after he received platelet-rich plasma injections in both knees over the offseason, and the 28-year-old is off to a sluggish start at the plate since making his spring debut, going 1-for-9 in game action. Acquired from the Brewers in December alongside Nick Mears in exchange for Angel Zerpa, Collins projects to see fairly regular playing time in left field for the Royals in 2026, though Lane Thomas is also in the mix for reps.

• Royals' Isaac Collins: Slow-played after PRP injections

  Rotowire Feb 23, 2026

Royals manager Matt Quatraro said Collins is "feeling great" and is slated to make his spring training debut Tuesday against the Reds. Kansas City traded for Collins in December and Quatraro said the team knew about the PRP injections at the time of the deal. Collins is competing for the Royals' left-field job with Lane Thomas.

• Royals' Isaac Collins: Traded to Kansas City

  Rotowire Dec 13, 2025

  The Brewers traded Collins to the Royals on Saturday alongside Nick Mears in exchange for Angel Zerpa, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. Collins entered the 2025 season as a relatively unknown player but quickly proved himself as a productive bat, slashing .263/.368/.411 with 54 RBI, 56 runs scored and 16 stolen bases over 441 regular-season plate appearances. However, he struggled down the stretch and didn't have a significant role for the Brewers in the playoffs. His overall performance allowed him to take fourth place in NL Rookie of the Year voting. With Garrett Mitchell (shoulder) expected to return in 2026 and Akil Baddoo signing with the Brewers on Thursday, Milwaukee's outfield room was beginning to become crowded, so the team will now send Collins to Kansas City, where the 28-year-old outfielder should have a much easier path to regular playing time.

• Brewers' Isaac Collins: Pops walk-off homer Sunday

  Rotowire Aug 10, 2025

Collins launched a 363-foot solo shot off New York reliever Edwin Diaz to give the Brewers their ninth straight win. The 28-year-old Collins has entered the NL Rookie of the Year Award conversation thanks to a strong .295/.395/.448 slash line with eight homers, 13 steals, 45 runs scored and 40 RBI in 316 total plate appearances across 96 games.

  Rotowire Jun 17, 2025

  Collins went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Cubs.

Across his last 31 plate appearances (nine games), the switch-hitting outfielder is slashing .320/.452/.680 with four extra-base hits, six RBI and six walks. As long as both Blake Perkins (shin) and Garrett Mitchell (oblique) are on the injured list, Collins should be able to play a regular role in Milwaukee's outfield.
