Kansas City Royals infielder Maikel Garcia is starting on third base and batting leadoff against right-hander Pablo Lopez and the Minnesota Twins on Opening Day.
Garcia earned the Opening Day leadoff role after a strong spring performance. Kyle Isbel will start in center field and hit ninth after beating out Drew Waters for the job.
Garcia has a $2,300 salary on the Opening Day Main slate and numberFire's models project him for 8.4 FanDuel points. Isbel ($2,500) is projected for 6.1 FanDuel points on Thursday.
