Elliot Johnson left Wednesday's game after one inning due to a bruised shin.

Johnson was injured at second base while turning a double play. He's expected to recover fully in a couple days. "He's fine, it was more of a precautionary thing," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "He was fighting to stay in the game, but this early, let's get some ice on it."
