When Alex Rios first hit the disabled list after the first week of the season, it seemed as though Jarrod Dyson had a prime opportunity to prove to the Kansas City Royals that he could be an every day player. Even though he played more than a typical fourth outfielder, Dyson was still not someone that the Royals seemingly felt comfortable with starting every day.
When Rios was on the disabled list, Dyson did nothing to dispel that impression. He was unable to produce any offense, and with Paulo Orlando starting his major league career as the triples machine known as KC3PO, Dyson began to find himself back as a bench option.
