Detroit Tigers catcher Alex Avila is not starting Thursday's game against Kansas City Royals.
With a lefty on the bump in K.C., Avila will make way for James McCann to get the start at catcher. The right-handed hitting McCann will bat seventh for the Tigers.
Our projections like Avila to add 7 home runs, 19 RBI and 19 runs over the remainder of the 2017 campaign.
