Butler is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Royals, Roger Mooney of the Tampa Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Grady Sizemore will get the start in left field in the nightcap, pushing Butler to the bench after a 1-for-4 showing in Game 1. Butler is just 3-for-20 so far in July, but his overall body of work this season (.298/.347/.447) will likely be enough to keep him in at least a semi-regular role for the foreseeable future.
