Mike Moustakas Scratched With Back Spasms
                
        
        Kansas City Royals third baseman Mike  Moustakas (back) was scratched from the lineup Tuesday with back spasms. Alcides  Escobar will fill in at the hot corner and bat eighth against Indians starter Shane  Bieber. This isn't good news for Moustakas or the Royals, as he's a potential trade chip ahead of the deadline for a rebuilding club. It's probably not a serious injury, but Moose needs to continue producing to prove to interested teams that he's fine. A trade out of KC and a bad lineup would be great for his fantasy value for the second half of the season. Alcides is one of the worst-hitting infielders in the majors and shouldn't be in any DFS lineups, especially while hitting eighth in the order.
