Impact O'Hearn drew his third consecutive start in Sunday's matinee, and he went 0-for-3 with an RBI and a strikeout. Hunter Dozier will start at first base while Salvador Perez serves as the designated hitter.

Ryan O'Hearn - Takes seat for nightcap O'Hearn isn't starting the second game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Orioles.
Edward Olivares - Not starting second game Olivares (quadriceps) isn't starting the second game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Orioles, Lynn Worthy of The Kansas City Star reports.
Impact Olivares exited Sunday's matinee with a right quadriceps strain, and it's not very surprising to see him on the bench for the second game. Kyle Isbel will start in right field and bat ninth, while Olivares should be considered day-to-day for now.

Nicky Lopez - On bench versus lefty Lopez is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Orioles, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Impact Lopez went 0-for-3 with a walk and run during the matinee, and he'll head to the bench with lefty Bruce Zimmermann pitching in Game 2 for Baltimore. Bobby Witt will shift to shortstop while Emmanuel Rivera starts at the hot corner.

Taylor, Royals rally past error-prone O's to open twinbill

Kansas City Royals take advantage of Orioles miscues to win first game of doubleheader Michael A. Taylor drove in the winning run, and Andrew Benintendi, Sal Perez, Bobby Witt Jr. and Kyle Isbel all had two hits apiece.

Edward Olivares - Exits with quad injury The Royals announced that Olivares' departure from the first game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Orioles was due to a right quadriceps strain.
Impact He went 1-for-2 with an RBI single before leaving, with the injury in question appearing to occur while he ran to first on his base hit. The quad strain will likely keep Olivares out for the second game of Sunday's twin bill and could force him to the injured list, depending on the severity of the strain. For now, fantasy managers should view Olivares as day-to-day.

Edward Olivares - Departs with injury Sunday Olivares was removed in the top of the third inning in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Orioles with an apparent injury, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports. He went...
Impact Olivares was pulled from the game shortly after he was visited by a trainer at first base following his RBI single. Michael Taylor came off the bench to pinch run for Oilvares, who can be viewed as day-to-day until the Royals provide an update on the nature and extent of his injury. Even if his injury is deemed minor, Olivares is unlikely to return to the lineup for the second game of the doubleheader Sunday.

Ryan O'Hearn - Gets third straight start O'Hearn will start at designated hitter and bat cleanup in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Orioles, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Impact O'Hearn will stay in the lineup for the third game in a row, and at least against right-handed pitching, he looks like he'll be the primary replacement for Carlos Santana (ankle), who was recently placed on the 10-day injured list. Over his prior two starts, O'Hearn went 1-for-7, with his single in Tuesday's 7-1 win over the Cardinals representing his first hit of the season.
MAY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sebastian Rivero - Called up for doubleheader The Royals called up Rivero from Double-A Northwest Arkansas ahead of Sunday's doubleheader with the Orioles.
Impact Kansas City appointed Rivero as the 27th man for the twin bill, so he'll presumably be headed back to the minors once the doubleheader concludes. He'll provide the Royals with some added insurance behind the dish Sunday, potentially allowing the top two catchers on the depth chart -- Salvador Perez and MJ Melendez -- to pick up work in the infield or at designated hitter.
MAY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Michael A. Taylor - Not in Game 1 lineup Taylor is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Orioles, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Impact The Orioles and Royals have been rained out the past two days, and Taylor will take a seat for Sunday's matinee. It's only the third time on the bench this season for the 31-year-old. Kyle Isbel will man center field in his place.

Carlos Hernández - Saturday's matchup called off Hernandez and the Royals won't play Saturday against the Orioles after the game was postponed due to inclement weather.
Impact The Royals and Blue Jays are already scheduled for a doubleheader Sunday after Friday's matchup was called off, so Saturday's matchup will be made up Monday. Hernandez will take the mound Monday since Daniel Lynch is pitching in Sunday's matinee with Zack Greinke starting in the nightcap, Lynn Worthy of The Kansas City Star reports.
