Ryan O'Hearn - Not starting in NL parkO'Hearn is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Pittsburgh.
ImpactO'Hearn started three of the Royals' first four games after making his season debut Friday, going 2-for-10 with a homer and a pair of walks. With the team now heading to a National League park for a two-game series, someone has to miss out. That someone will be O'Hearn on Tuesday.

Salvador Perez - Cleared to start behind platePerez (thumb) will start at catcher and bat third Tuesday in Pittsburgh.
ImpactPerez looked like a strong candidate to receive his first day off of the season Tuesday after he exited Monday's 3-2 win over the Tigers with a jammed thumb, but he'll keep his ironman streak intact, as the injury was apparently only a minor concern. The 30-year-old backstop has played an integral role in the Royals' MLB-best 14-7 start to the season, posting a .771 OPS while shepherding a pitching staff that has exceeded expectations thus far.

Andrew Benintendi - Not starting TuesdayBenintendi is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.
ImpactBenintendi hits the bench for just the second time this season. It's hard to say he's earned an everyday role, as he's hitting .2247/.293/.307 on the year, but the Royals have so far seemed content to let him play through his struggles. He's at least helped fantasy teams out with four steals, and Benintendi should be expected to continue running frequently for a Kansas City team that's attempted the second-most steals in the league.
