Drew Waters

Kansas City Royals outfielder Drew Waters is not in the team's starting lineup in Thursday's series finale against the visiting New York Yankees at Kauffman Stadium. With Waters sitting, Nick Loftin will draw into the lineup in left field and will bat in the seven-hole against Yankees right-hander Will Warren. Waters has really struggled so far in the month of June through nine games, going 5-for-25 with a steal, three runs, two walks and nine strikeouts. Overall, the 26-year-old has hit .269/.307/.359 with a below-average .666 OPS, just one home run, 13 RBI, 20 runs and five stolen bases in 167 at-bats on the year. DFS managers are better off looking elsewhere on Thursday. Loftin has a solid .281 average (9-for-32) in a limited sample size with a homer, three RBI and a stolen base.
