Royals shaking up their lineup versus a southpaw on Tuesday

The Kansas City Royals do not have outfielder Alex Gordon or third baseman Mike Moustakas in the lineup on Tuesday.

What It Means:

The lefty-swinging Gordon and Moustakas are getting the night off versus left-hander Jose Quintana for the White Sox with Whitt Merrifield batting leadoff and playing in left and Cheslor Cuthbert at the hot corner and batting sixth.

Moustakas has played well, batting .270 with seven home runs so far, but Gordan has struggled. He is hitting just .187 with zero homers in 101 plate appearances.
