Royals manager says Colon could start playing at least a couple times per week
Starting second baseman Omar Infante has shown signs of ‘wear and tear’
Both were in the lineup Friday with Moustakas sidelined with thumb injury
CLEVELAND
The initial Royals lineup on Friday afternoon — before third baseman Mike Moustakas was scratched with a nagging thumb injury — featured a rare name for the start of a seven-game road trip.
Christian Colon was set to start at second base, taking the place of Omar Infante. That ultimately changed; Moustakas was forced to miss his third start in four games, and Colon moved to third base while Infante slid back into the lineup at second.
