Royals' Lorenzo Cain: Scratched from Tuesday's lineup

Cain was scratched from the Royals' lineup Tuesday due to left-side tightness, Rustin Dodd of The Kansas City Star reports.

Analysis:

The severity of the ailment is unclear, but the Royals are considering their center fielder day-to-day for the time being. Alex Gordon slid over to fill Cain's void in center, but both he and Paulo Orlando could see more time there if Cain's injury proves to be more serious. Things should become clearer as Cain gets examined further by team doctors in the coming days.
