Kansas City Royals outfielder Jorge Soler is not starting the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers.
Ryan Goins is making a start at second base, so Whit Merrifield is in right field, pushing Soler to the bench this afternoon.
For the remainder of the season, numberFire projects Soler to hit .210 with 39 runs, 15 home runs, and 41 RBIs.
