The Kansas City Royals have played 26 games so far this year and have used 26different starting lineups under new manager Matt Quatraro (and bench coach Paul Hoover filling in when Quatraro was unavailable due to COVID). The leadoff spot has been fairly stable with either Bobby Witt Jr. (20 times) or MJ Melendez (6 times), but five different hitters have hit second, fourth, and fifth in the lineup.
The Royals are one of just three teams to have a different lineup each game, along with the Pirates and Marlins.
