Alcides Escobar starting for Royals after one-game absence

Kansas City Royals infielder Alcides Escobar is starting on Monday versus the Tampa Bay Rays.

What It Means:

Escobar will replace Adalberto Mondesi at shortstop and bat ninth versus Rays right-hander Hunter Wood after a one-game break. He's hit safely in four straight games but owns a dismal .208 batting average overall.

numberFire's models project Escobar to score 6.4 FanDuel points at a cost of $2,300 on Monday.
