Royals' Kendrys Morales: Held out again Thursday

Morales is not in Thursday's lineup against the Marlins, Joel Goldberg of FOX Sports Kansas City reports.

Analysis:

Morales will be held out of the lineup for a third straight game, as the Royals wrap up a series in a National League park in Miami. The club will head to Boston for the weekend and regain the DH spot, so Morales figures to return to the lineup soon, but he'll still be a pinch-hitting option Thursday.
