Royals' Abraham Almonte starting in center field on Friday

Kansas City Royals Abraham Almonte is in the lineup on Friday against the Cleveland Indians.

What It Means:

Almonte was dealing with an illness earlier in the week, but he's starting in center field and batting ninth against Cleveland right-hander Trevor Bauer. Alex Gordon will serve as the DH, so Mike Moustakas is back at third base. Cheslor Cuthbert is out of the lineup.
