Mike Moustakas is sitting out Monday in Kansas City

Kansas City Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas is not in the lineup Monday against the Los Angeles Angels.

What It Means:

Moustakas will take the day off on Monday as the Royals shift around their infield. Alcides Escobar is starting at the hot corner and hitting sixth, while Adalberto Mondesi is at shortstop and hitting ninth against lefty Tyler Skaggs.

Our models project Moustakas for a .274 batting average with 18 home runs, 41 runs scored, 49 RBI, and 3 steals over 327 plate appearances remaining this season.
