Michael Massey moving to Royals' bench for Thursday matinee
Kansas City Royals infielder Michael Massey is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Josh Winder and the Minnesota Twins.
What It Means:
The Royals appear to be giving Massey a routine breather. Nicky Lopez will cover the keystone and bat eighth.
Lopez has a $2,100 salary on Thursday and numberFire’s models project him for 8.8 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, Winder has the fourth-lowest strikeout rate this season (15.4%) out of Thursday's projected starters.
