Kansas City Royals first baseman/right fielder Ryan O'Hearn is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Carlos Rodon and the Chicago White Sox.
O'Hearn is getting a breather against the White Sox's southpaw. Carlos Santana is shifting from designated hitter to first base while Salvador Perez takes over at DH and Cam Gallagher starts at catcher.
