Royals' Mike Moustakas sitting again Tuesday night

Kansas City Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas is out of the starting lineup for the second straight day Tuesday against the Washington Nationals.

What It Means:

The thought was that he was just getting the day off on Monday, but it sounds like something could be up. The Royals should provide an update soon. Christian Colon is starting at third base versus Washington.

Moustakas is slashing .258/.317/.548 with a .370 wOBA and 7 home runs in 101 plate appearances this season. Our models currently project him to hit .277 with a .337 wOBA and 18 home runs over the remaining course of the season.
