Hunter Dozier’s unintentionally long audition at first base in place of the injured Lucas Duda has gone according to plan for the Royals.
Since joining the 25-man roster on May 14, Dozier has started 11 games and handled the position without cause for concern.
Cheslor Cuthbert was supposed to play the majority of the time at first base as Duda recovered from plantar fasciitis in his right foot.
But Cuthbert has been sidelined because of a strained back since Dozier arrived at Kauffman Stadium in time for the first game of a three-game set with the Tampa Bay Rays.
