Tigers' Mikie Mahtook starting on Thursday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Mikie Mahtook is starting in center field for Thursday night's matchup with the Kansas City Royals.

What It Means:

After a day off, Mahtook will return to play center and hit fifth against Kansas City's Danny Duffy. His return sends Alex Presley to the Detroit bench.

Mahtook has a .327 wOBA and .225 ISO against lefties in 2017. We project him at 9.5 FanDuel points while running $2,700 on this evening's slate.
