Kansas City Royals infielder Emmanuel Rivera is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against right-hander Jon Gray and the Texas Rangers.
Rivera manned the hot corner for the Royals in Monday's series opener against a lefty, but Nicky Lopez is starting on third base and batting ninth Tuesday.
numberFire’s models project Lopez for 8.5 FanDuel points on Tuesday, and he has a $2,000 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Royals’ implied total (4.13) is tied for 17th out of 28 teams available on the Main slate.
