Kansas City Royals utlity-man Hunter Dozier (thumb) is out of Saturday's lineup against the Texas Rangers.
Dozier could miss a few more days after suffering a recent thumb contusion. Expect Hanser Alberto to see more at-bats until Dozier is healthy enough to return.
Dozier's current yearly projection includes a .249 average with 21 home runs and 68 RBI in 565 total plate appearances.
