Royals' Kendrys Morales: Out of lineup Wednesday

Morales is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

Analysis:

Manager Ned Yost will keep Salvador Perez's bat in the lineup by sliding him to DH on Wednesday, which bumps Morales out of the order for the day. Morales figures to reclaim his spot in the order as the DH on Thursday when the Royals open their series with the White Sox.
