Kansas City Royals manager Ned Yost said Friday, June 7, that he would prefer to stick with his current lineup alignment for the foreseeable future, which means 1B Eric Hosmer serving in the two-hole, and C Salvador Perez working from the third spot of the order.

Kansas City Royals OF Alex Gordon hit his third home run in as many days Thursday, May 9. 3B Mike Moustakas homered for the second straight game and 1B Eric Hosmer homered for the first time this year in 145 at-bats.

Fantasy Tip: Gordon remains hot, but Ned Yost's lineup change may give him a chance to drive in more runs; Gordon was moved from leadoff to the three hole last night, a move that Yost says will stick for a while. Moustakas has turned on a light bulb lately, too, and perhaps hitting lower in the order will begin to benefit Hosmer. Don't give up just yet on the Royals' corner infielders.

Kansas City Royals manager Ned Yost chose to sit 1B Billy Butler in favor of 1B Eric Hosmer Friday, April 5, mostly because the team will face left-handed pitchers for the rest of the weekend. "If I sit Hos today," Yost said, "he doesn't (start) for three days. If a pitcher has never faced a hitter, the advantage kind of goes to the pitcher. Kendrick has never faced Billy or Hos." OF Jeff Francoeur is also 9-for-22 in his career against Philadelphia Phillies SP Kyle Kendrick. Yost is reluctant to put Hosmer in the outfield, so Francoeur will likely start all three games against the Phils. INFs Miguel Tejada and Elliot Johnson might also see playing time this weekend.

Fantasy Tip: You'll want to get Butler back in your lineups this weekend in daily leagues. The opposite goes for Hosmer if you can swap guys in and out on a daily basis.

Kansas City Royals manager Ned Yost said DH Billy Butler will play first base this weekend in a National League park. 1B Eric Hosmer will either play outfield or be benched.

Fantasy Tip: This isn't good news for Hosmer, who has played first base in interleague games while Butler was benched. With interleague play occuring regularly, Hosmer could lose some value. Butler has established himself with the team and in fantasy lineups.

Kansas City Royals manager Ned Yost said DH Billy Butler will play this weekend when the team goes on the road to play the Philadelphia Phillies. Yost would not say where Butler will play, but he is expected to play at first base. It is not known if 1B Eric Hosmer would play in the outfield or be benched for Butler.

Fantasy Tip: Owners in daily leagues will have to check to see if Hosmer plays this weekend or if he is sits out to allow Butler to play at first base.

Kansas City Royals 1B Eric Hosmer is scheduled to see time in right field during the Cactus League spring game Thursday, March 28. It could be a preview for next weekend during interleague play against the Philadelphia Phillies, in a National League park when the designated hitter is not used. "We'll see," manager Ned Yost said Wednesday, March 27. "Frenchy (OF Jeff Francoeur) could start the year as our hottest player, and I wouldn't be taking him out."
