Nick Loftin Scratched With Wrist Injury
Kansas City Royals infielder Nick Loftin (wrist) was scratched from Sunday's starting lineup due to right wrist soreness. Fantasy managers should continue monitoring his status throughout the week in case he remains sidelined. Last season, Loftin logged a career-high 57 games at the MLB level. He held a .189/.282/.236 slash line with four doubles and one stolen base. He drew walks at a strong 11.1 percent rate and struck out at an elite 14.1 percent rate. In 58 contests with Triple-A Omaha, the Baylor product posted a .302/.409/.462 slash line with 13 doubles, seven home runs, and four stolen bases. He also showed a strong eye at the plate at this level, with an elite 37:37 BB:K ratio. When he returns to action, fantasy managers should expect Loftin to compete for a utility role in the Kansas City infield.
