Swanson Sits, Camargo Starts while Royals Shuffle lineup for Series Finale

#HUGWATCH ALERT

........

Just kidding (though never say never with AA)

Dansby Swanson will take a seat as Johan Camargo gets a rare start at short tonight versus the Royals. No, it is likely not due to a trade, but simply in an effort to get Swanson two days of rest in an effort to get his bat going again before a very important road trip.

Swanson has produced a .606 OPS over the past two weeks. While he certainly has been productive in the second spot of the lineup overall, he has struggled to start the second half.
