Ryan O'Hearn resting for Royals Thursday versus lefty
Kansas City Royals utility player Ryan O'Hearn is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against left-hander Dallas Keuchel and the Chicago White Sox.
O'Hearn is taking a seat versus the White Sox's lefty. Carlos Santana is making another start on first base for the Royals and Salvador Perez batting third as the designated hitter. Cam Gallagher is catching for Daniel Lynch and hitting eighth. Perez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 9-1 win over the White Sox.
numberFire’s models project Perez for 12.1 FanDuel points and he has a $3,300 salary on Thursday's slate. Gallagher ($2,000) is projected for 6.0 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Royals have an implied total of 4.1 runs. Keuchel's xBA this season (.297) ranks in the bottom two percent of the league.
