Hosmer is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Indians.
Analysis:
The 25-year-old went 2-for-4 with his 16th homer of the year and two runs scored in the Royals' AL Central-clinching win over the Mariners on Thursday. He will be rewarded with a day off Friday, as will most of the team's regulars, as Drew Butera steps in for the start at first base.
