<\/p>\nDETROIT<\/span><\/p>\n

Kansas City Royals outfielder Isaac Collins is considered day-to-day after exiting Tuesday\u2019s game against the Detroit Tigers<\/a> with a right knee contusion.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Collins, 28, banged his knee on the left-field wall at Comerica Park. He tumbled into the front row as he attempted to catch a foul ball off the bat of Tigers rookie Kevin McGonigle.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The injury occurred in the first inning.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember it being in the air for a while, initially, right off the bat,\u201d Collins said. \u201cI didn\u2019t even think about the wall at all. And then, yeah, it just kept drifting on me. Obviously, in hindsight, I wish I would\u2019ve checked the wall. But the fact it was 3 feet tall, I don\u2019t know if that even would\u2019ve affected anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Royals manager Matt Quatraro and head trainer Kyle Turner raced out to check on Collins. After a few minutes, Collins walked off the field under his own power.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cRight when it happened, I know I\u2019d be a liability out there,\u201d Collins said. \u201cThat\u2019s kind of why we decided I probably shouldn\u2019t play or finish the inning, because I don\u2019t want another line drive hit at me and I hobble over to the ball.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Royals replaced Collins with Tyler Tolbert in left field. On Wednesday, Collins was not in the starting lineup<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel good,\u201d Collins said. \u201cI\u2019m just grateful I didn\u2019t hit my head or anything on the seats in the stands. It could\u2019ve been a lot worse. I saw the video. But I feel pretty good today. Just moving around and trying to get the swelling out as quick as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Collins was able to get treatment after Tuesday\u2019s game.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s not ready to play,\u201d Quatraro said Wednesday. \u201cYou know, extreme emergency, maybe come off the bench. But, you know, it\u2019s something that\u2019s going to take a couple of days.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Collins has appeared in 16 games this season. He is hitting .214 (9-for-42) with a home run and four RBIs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Royals started Lane Thomas in left field Wednesday. He has posted strong career numbers against Tigers starter Jack Flaherty.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Collins will try to find his way back into the lineup soon.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s obviously good news,\u201d Collins said. \u201cAnd now, it\u2019s get as much swelling out and try to get that range of motion back. Just try to get back to normal as quick as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
