Kansas City Royals infielder Nicky Lopez (leg) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against right-hander Dylan Cease and the Chicago White Sox.
Lopez was held out of the previous two lineups with a minor leg issue. He is replacing Hanser Alberto at shortstop on Tuesday and hitting ninth.
numberFire’s models project Lopez for 8.5 FanDuel points and he has a $2,500 salary on Tuesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Royals have an implied total of 4.6 runs. Among Tuesday's listed starters, Cease is registering the second-best strikeout rate this season (29.5 percent).
