Royals' Nelson Velazquez: Sitting for Game 2

Velazquez is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the White Sox.

Velazquez went 1-for-4 with a double and a run in Game 1, but he'll take a seat in the nightcap after making 12 straight starts. Salvador Perez will serve as the designated hitter while Freddy Fermin starts behind the plate.
