Steps back into regular role
Loftin will start at third base and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Tigers.
Analyse
Though he looked poised to move back into a utility role after the Royals reinstated Vinnie Pasquantino and Maikel Garcia from the injured list Monday, Loftin has since settled back into a near-everyday role after Garcia went back on the shelf Friday due to a hamstring strain. Loftin will collect his sixth straight start Sunday after going 2-for-14 with a double, a triple, four walks and an RBI over the previous five contests.

Likely headed for drop in playing time
Loftin is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics.
Analyse
Loftin will head to the bench after he started each of the last nine games while going just 4-for-31 (.129 average) with one stolen base, two runs and no RBI. With Maikel Garcia (hand) returning from the injured list Monday, Loftin's time as the Royals' primary third baseman is over, and he'll presumably be ticketed for a utility role.
