4 years agoKansas City Royals manager Mike Matheny announced that outfielders Brett Phillips and Bubba Starling would be part of the team's roster going into opening day. Both players have limited big league experience and figure to see a few starts per week each as the season begins. The Royals just moved fellow outfielder Hunter Dozier (COVID-19) to the Injured List after testing positive for COVID-19. Dozier's absence could provide both Phillips and Starling with an opportunity, but the Royals still have Alex Gordon and Whit Merrifield as mainstays in the outfield, as well as occasional outfielder Jorge Soler and the recently acquired Franchy Cordero. Don't expect too much from either Phillips and Starling from a fantasy standpoint. You can allow them to remain on the waiver wire.--Andrew Ericksen - RotoBaller
