Hunter Dozier Scratched Wednesday With Illness
2 years agoKansas City Royals third baseman Hunter Dozier (illness) was scratched from the team's Cactus League lineup on Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies due to an illness. In his absence, Nick Loftin will get the start at third base and will hit eighth in the batting order. The 31-year-old Dozier should be able to return to spring action in a day or two. In his sixth season with the Royals in 2022, Dozier hit .236/.292/.387 with a .679 OPS, 12 home runs, 41 RBI, 51 runs scored and four stolen bases in 500 plate appearances and 128 games for KC. He is useful for his positional versatility and occasional pop, but Dozier has been a frustrating player to roster in fantasy because of his streakiness at the plate.
