Mike Moustakas (rest) not in Royals lineup Saturday
Mike Moustakas is not in the Royals lineup on Saturday versus the Blue Jays. Cheslor Cuthbert will start at third base and bat eighth. Ben Zobrist will move up to the two spot in the order.
What It Means:
This appears to be a breather for Mike Moustakas as Mark Buehrle takes the mound for the Blue Jays. Cuthbert only has 20 plate appearances this season and a .356 wOBA in that time. The main beneficiary in Moustakas' absence will be Zobrist as he is moving up to the two spot. Zobrist has a .376 wOBA off lefties this season. Buehrle is holding righties to a .299 wOBA but only strikes them out 12.8 percent of the time.
