Royals outfielder Alex Rios was scratched from Thursday's lineup with a stiff back, MLB.com reported.
Rios will now receive the day off due to the issue, with Jonny Gomes replacing him in right field. There's nothing indicating the issue is serious, so it's possible he will require just minimal time to rejoin the lineup.
