Ryan McBroom riding Royals' bench Thursday
Kansas City Royals first baseman/outfielder Ryan McBroom is not starting in Thursday's series opener against right-hander Tyler Chatwood and the Chicago Cubs.
What It Means:
McBroom was the Royals' designated hitter in his last three starts. Jorge Soler will DH and hit second on Thursday while Whit Merrifield starts in right and leads off. Nick Heath will make his first major league start in center field and hit ninth.
numberFire's models expect Heath to score 6.9 FanDuel points on Thursday. He's priced at $2,000.
