Dunn is not in the lineup for Tuesday's AL wild-card game, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Analysis:

Dunn has finally reached the postseason in his 14th major league season, but he'll find himself on the bench for the team's win-or-go-home matchup against Kansas City. While a right-hander in James Shields is toeing the rubber for the Royals, Dunn is just 7-for-35 with 16 strikeouts in his career against Shields. The 34-year-old Dunn should see at least one at-bat off the bench.
