Hunter Dozier held out of Royals' lineup again Wednesday afternoon
Kansas City Royals first baseman/right fielder Hunter Dozier is not in the starting lineup again for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Yusei Kikuchi and the Toronto Blue Jays.
What It Means:
The Royals are keeping Dozier out of the lineup for a second straight game amid a 1-for-18 skid at the plate. Carlos Santana is making another start on first base and batting sixth while Whit Merrifield mans right field again and bats leadoff.
numberFire’s models project Santana for 7.7 FanDuel points on Wednesday, and he has a $2,200 salary. Merrifield is projected for 10.0 FanDuel points with a $3,200 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, Kikuchi has the highest walk rate this season (12.1%) out of Wednesday's 30 listed starters.
