Kansas City Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas (knee) remains absent from the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Minnesota Twins.
Moustakas has now missed three straight games with a knee contusion that he suffered Sunday in a collision with Alex Gordon. He's still considered day-to-day. Cheslor Cuthbert will start at third base and bat seventh Wednesday against Twins' righty Tyler Duffey.
Moustakas is slashing .240/.301/.500 with seven home runs and a .341 wOBA in 113 plate appearances this season. Our models currently project him to hit .269/.325/.454 with 14 home runs and a .334 wOBA in 369 appearances at the plate over the remaining course of the season.
