Royals' Kyle Isbel idle Thursday
Kansas City Royals outfielder Kyle Isbel is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against right-hander Shane Bieber and the Cleveland Indians.
What It Means:
Hunter Dozier is shifting to right field in place of Isbel. Carlos Santana is on first base and Salvador Perez is in the designated hitter role. Cam Gallagher is catching Angel Zerpa and batting ninth.
Dozier has a $2,500 salary on Thursday and numberFire's models project him to score 7.8 FanDuel points. Bieber is registering a 33.9 strikeout percentage this season that ranks in the top 6% of the league.
