Nicky Lopez on bench Monday for Royals
Kansas City Royals infielder Nicky Lopez is not in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against right-hander Johnny Cueto and the Chicago White Sox.
What It Means:
The Royals appear to be giving Lopez a routine breather. It is just the infielder's third absence this season. Whit Merrifield is moving in to second base while Kyle Isbel enters the lineup to play right field and hit ninth. Bobby Witt Jr. is making another start at shortstop.
numberFire’s models project Merrifield for 10.9 FanDuel points on Monday, and he has a $2,700 salary.
