Kansas City Royals outfielder Abraham Almonte is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels.
Almonte manned center and went 0-for-5 from the leadoff spot on Friday. But, on Saturday, he will move to the bench, allowing Whit Merrifield to play center and Ryan Goins to enter at second base for Kansas City.
Through 4 games, Almonte is hitting just .091 through 11 plate appearances.
