Royals' Cheslor Cuthbert: In the lineup Sunday

Cuthbert (quad) is in the lineup at third base and batting eighth in the order Sunday against the White Sox, Rustin Dodd of The Kansas City Star reports.

Analysis:

The quad contusion that Cuthbert sustained in Saturday's comeback win over the White Sox was only a minor one, so he'll be back in the lineup a day later and shouldn't face many limitations. Cuthbert looks to be entrenched as the Royals' regular third baseman the rest of the season following Mike Moustakas' ACL tear, but as a corner infielder with limited pop and barely over 100 career at-bats at the big league level, it's tough to count on Cuthbert to become a major fantasy asset at his position.
