Velazquez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Rangers.

Advice: Velazquez went 1-for-4 with a double and a run Saturday but still has just two hits over his past 11 games. Salvador Perez is resting his legs at designated hitter Sunday while Freddy Fermin starts behind the plate. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago

Massey went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Saturday's 15-4 loss to the Rangers.

Advice: Massey was a bright spot in the Royals' lopsided loss, extending his hitting streak to seven games in the process. He's gone 10-for-25 (.400) with two home runs, two doubles, seven RBI and six runs scored in that stretch. The second baseman took about a week to get his bat going after recovering from a back injury, but he's stepped up to claim a starting role at the keystone, which has bumped Adam Frazier into a utility role.

Laureano went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Angels.

Advice: Laureano snapped an 0-for-12 slump that dated back to April 21 when he went yard in the fourth inning Saturday. The outfielder is slashing a meager .161/.304/.268 with a homer, four RBI, six runs scored, three stolen bases and three doubles over 69 plate appearances this season. That slump has taken Laureano out of contention to play versus right-handed pitchers, with Will Brennan and Estevan Florial mostly sharing right field and designated hitter. Laureano will still get looks against southpaws, but he shouldn't be expected to fill more than a short-side platoon role any time soon. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago
