Royals' Sebastian Rivero sitting Monday
Kansas City Royals catcher Sebastian Rivero is not in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against right-hander Zach Davies and the Arizona Diamondbacks.
What It Means:
Rivero is returning to the bench after starting at catcher on Sunday. MJ Melendez is shifting into the backstop role while Carlos Santana starts at designated hitter. Bobby Witt Jr. is returning to the lineup in place of Rivero on Monday to start at shortstop and bat third.
numberFire’s models project Witt for 11.1 FanDuel points on Monday, and he has a $3,200 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Royals-Diamondbacks game features the strongest park factor for hitters in the majors on Monday.
