Kansas City Royals designated hitter Kendrys Morales is not in Monday's lineup against the Baltimore Orioles.
He's just getting a breather. Salvador Perez will get the start out of the designated hitter spot while Drew Butera will catch Danny Duffy.
Morales is off to a slow start this season, slashing .191/.257/.320 with a .255 wOBA (4th worst) in 214 plate appearances. Our models currently project him to hit .252/.323/.407 with 11 home runs and a .314 wOBA over the remaining course of the season.
