Kansas City Royals 2B Chris Getz is unlikely to get a chance in the second spot of manager Ned Yost's lineup, as that would give the team three straight left-handed hitters with OF Alex Gordon (third) and 1B Eric Hosmer (fourth).

The Kansas City Royals have optioned 2B Johnny Giavotella to Triple-A Omaha, meaning that the parent club will use a platoon of Yuniesky Betancourt and Chris Getz at second base. "(Giavotella) needs to continue to focus on his defense," manager Ned Yost said. "Johnny is a much better defender today than he was at this time last year, but we had two better defensive options in Betancourt and Getz." Betancourt will also serve as the team's primary backup option at shortstop and third base.

Giavotella's demotion means that OF Lorenzo Cain could become the No. 2 hitter in the batting order, because placing Getz in that role would give the Royals three consecutive left-handed hitters at the top of their lineup, between OF Alex Gordon and 1B Eric Hosmer.

Kansas City Royals SS Yuniesky Betancourt played second base in the team's Cactus League game Saturday, March 17. "I wanted to see Yuni at second," manager Ned Yost said. 2B Chris Getz and Johnny Giavotella were thought to be fighting for the starting 2B job, but Betancourt is now in the mix as well.
