Maxwell out with sprained ankle

Justin Maxwell will have an MRI today on his left ankle, which apparently has been bothering him for some time:

"Every time I hit, I kind of roll my ankle. I've done every avenue of treatment that I could so I could play. When it was bothering me [Wednesday] on defense, I knew something was wrong. That's why I said something to Millsie."

Arbitrary endpoints and all, but from June 1 through the first game of the Royals series, Maxwell hit .267/.353/.644, with 5HR - but also 20K in 51PAs. In the last two games of the Royals series, Maxwell was 0x6 with 4Ks.
