Royals' Lucas Duda: Playing time slipping

Duda is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Indians, Joel Goldberg of FOX Sports Kansas City reports.

With Cheslor Cuthbert and Jorge Soler emerging as the Royals' preferred options at first base and designated hitter, respectively, Duda hasn't been a mainstay in the lineup lately. He'll remain on the bench Saturday for the fifth time in six games.
