Cam Gallagher - Picks up first startGallagher will start at catcher and bat ninth Tuesday against the Cardinals.

ImpactThe Royals will give top backstop Salvador Perez a day out of the field and deploy him at designated hitter, opening up catching duties for Gallagher for the first time all season. Perez is expected to handle one of the bigger workloads among all No. 1 catchers this season, so Gallagher may struggle to get more than one start even in seven-game weeks when Perez is healthy.

Owen Miller - Could be primary first basemanMiller will start at first base and bat sixth in Tuesday's game against the Reds.

ImpactThough the righty-hitting Miller initially appeared set to fill a short-side platoon role at first base to begin the season, he's now picked up consecutive starts against right-handed pitching while the lefty-hitting Bobby Bradley has hit the bench. Manager Terry Francona seems content to ride the hotter bat of the two in Miller, who has produced six hits -- including three doubles -- between his first two starts of the campaign.

Bobby Bradley - Appears to lose hold of 1B jobBradley is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

ImpactThe lefty-hitting Bradley will sit for the third straight game, with his most recent two absences coming with the opposition bringing right-handed starting pitchers to the hill. Bradley initially appeared set to open the season in a strong-side platoon role at first base, but manager Terry Francona has seemingly settled on Owen Miller as the preferred option versus both left- and right-handed pitching for the time being.
