Alcides Escobar’s streak of making 406 consecutive starts as the Kansas City Royals shortstop is about to end.
Manager Ned Yost said he plans to play Adalberto Mondesi
Rashaan Gaulden Jersey , 22, a couple of days a week at shortstop. Escobar, 31, has been the Royals everyday shortstop since 2011 after being acquired from the Milwaukee Brewers as part of the Zack Greinke trade.
”Esky’s been our shortstop for a long time,” Yost said Tuesday. ”It’s a pretty big change
Marqise Lee Jersey , seeing someboy different at short, but it’s exciting, too because now you’re starting to give other younger players opportunities to see what they can do.”
Escobar was an American League All-Star starter and Glove Glove winner in 2015, the year the Royals won the World Series.
With the Royals in last place with a 22-50 record entering the game Tuesday night against the Texas Rangers, they are looking to the future.
”It’s a good chance to experiment right now
Jeff Allen Jersey ,” Yost said. ”There’s nothing that is going to make or break us. You can start looking at things a little bit differently and start experimenting with some things.”
He said he talked to Escobar about his consecutive-game streak, which is the longest active streak in the majors, ending.
”We talked about the streak,” Yost said. ”There will be times he’ll sit. But it’s time to look at Mondi at little bit and move Esky around.”
He said he could play Escobar at play third, second or center field.
”He was excited about the opportuity
Maliek Collins Jersey ,” Yost said. ”He’s at a point in his career where it will increase value if he can play multiple positions.”
Escobar played five games, one start in right field, in the outfield in 2010 with the Brewers. He has played 1,355 games at shorstop.
The Royals have already started their youth movement by trading closer Kelvin Herrera to the Washington Nationals on Monday for three prospects and outfielder Jon Jay to the Arizona on June 6 for two minor league pitchers.
The Detroit Lions have holes to fills on defense.
The Lions may look to address needs at defensive tackle, end and linebacker when the NFL draft resumes Friday night.
Detroit took care of a void in the first round
Spencer Drango Jersey , selecting Arkansas center Frank Ragnow with the No. 20 overall pick.
Detroit has second- and third-round picks along with slots in the fourth, fifth and seventh rounds as the draft stretches into its final day Saturday. The Lions went into the draft without a sixth-round selection, giving it up last year to acquire offensive tackle Greg Robinson from the Los Angeles Rams. Robinson started six games and was released in November.
The Lions are desperately hoping to improve their lackluster running game and protect franchise quarterback Matthew Stafford.
