Romine is out in the lineup Friday against the Royals.

Analysis:

Romine was lifted for a pinch hitter in the eighth inning of Thursday's game, but there has been no word of an injury to the 28-year-old. Thus, it seems manager Brad Ausmus is just getting him a rest, after nine starts in a 10-game span. Eugenio Suarez gets the nod Friday.
