Lucas Duda playing designated hitter for Royals versus Tigers

Kansas City Royals first baseman/designated hitter Lucas Duda is starting in Sunday's series finale versus the Detroit Tigers.

What It Means:

Duda is on DH duties and hitting seventh versus Tigers right-hander Tyson Ross. Jorge Soler is shifting to right field and Whit Merrifield is on second base for Kansas City. Chris Owings is out of the lineup.

numberFire's models believe Duda makes for a solid value play on Sunday's 15-game slate, as he's priced at $2,300 and projected for 11.6 FanDuel points.
