Hanser Alberto on Royals' bench Friday
Kansas City Royals infielder Hanser Alberto is not in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against rookie right-hander Griffin Jax and the Minnesota Twins.
What It Means:
Alberto started on third base in Thursday's series finale against the Baltimore Orioles. Adalberto Mondesi is shifting to the hot corner while Salvador Perez serves as the Royals' designated hitter in Friday's opener. Sebastian Rivero is entering the lineup to catch Daniel Lynch and hit ninth.
Rivero is averaging 3.9 FanDuel points per game this season. Jax is registering an 18.2 strikeout percentage and a 9.2 walk percentage through his first 58 1/3 innings in the majors, with a 6.17 xERA and a .370 that both rank in the bottom 4% of the league, and an xSLG that places the rookie in the bottom 1%.
