Hunter Dozier held out of Royals' Game 1 lineup Tuesday

Kansas City Royals infielder Hunter Dozier is not in the starting lineup against right-hander Lance Lynn and the Chicago White Sox in Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader.

What It Means:

The Royals are holding Dozier out of the early lineup Tuesday after he started all four games of their series against the Boston Red Sox. Bobby Witt will be on the hot corner while Michael Massey replaces Dozier in the lineup to play second base and bat sixth in Tuesday's first game.

Massey is averaging 7.5 FanDuel points through his first seven games. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Royals’ implied total (3.78) is 19th in the majors on Tuesday and Lynn has the second-best walk rate (4.3%) among the projected starters.
