'Alcides Escobar (hand) is in Monday's lineup against the Red Sox.
Escobar suffered a bruised left hand on a hit-by-pitch Sunday, but it turns out that he won't miss any time. The light-hitting shortstop has made 360 consecutive starts for the Royals and that streak will continue on Monday.'
A mark to be appreciated as the modern day ball player is 'rested' all too frequently.....
At the same time...
A mark of shame for the Royals in that they continually play one of the worst shortstops in the league.
