Cheslor Cuthbert

Cheslor Cuthbert not in Royals' lineup on Friday

Kansas City Royals infielder Cheslor Cuthbert returns to the bench on Friday.

What It Means:

Cuthbert got to start on Thursday, but with Brandon Moss back at the designated hitter and Eric Hosmer in the lineup at first base, there's nowhere for the reserve to play.

Our models project Cuthbert to hit .238 with 2 home runs, 12 runs, and 13 RBI in 241 more plate appearances in 2017.
