Michael Massey on bench Thursday for Royals' matinee
Kansas City Royals infielder Michael Massey is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez and the Detroit Tigers.
What It Means:
Nicky Lopez will move to second base in place of Massey while Bobby Witt Jr. starts at shortstop and bats second.
Witt has a $3,800 salary on Thursday and numberFire’s models project him for 11.9 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Royals’ implied total is 3.55 and the game over/under is 7.5 on Thursday.
